Geared towards music
… I guess I‘ve always been to a certain extent. I remember being around the age of 7 or 8 when I recorded the first 'album' which consisted of a friend of mine and me playing on a small toy piano. It was probably around 25-30 minutes of instrumental music, recorded on a cassette, and the process for each song was me trying to come up with some chords and then telling my friend which keys he could use to improvise a melody over it.
I‘m sure quality varied… but of course the memory is hazy. We even thought of titles for each track, trying to match the mood of the songs and made some cover artwork for it. A couple of years later - when I was a somewhat 'cool kid' with 11 or 12 - I found the cassette again and deleted it, in order to avoid the risk of anyone else finding it and laughing at me…
Decades later I would love to still have it and listen to it, but I guess that‘s the way it is. 😂
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Music".
It shows a small detail of my acoustic guitar, which I got when I was 6 years old and still play to this day - sometimes even together with my own kids!
