Software & Hardware to develop the timbres and textures

learning Kaivo, a softsynth plug-in that does physical modeling and granular synthesis
It is “modest” software (not as in-depth as something like UVI Falcon or Phase Plant)
Costs ~ $100
I was really attracted to the manual! Lots of pictures
Up til 6 am trying to get it to talk to FL Studio
workaround — installed a “plug-in wrapper” called NanoHost. Free!

learning Midinous
this is “indie” software; support the creator on Patreon or buy on Steam!
It is for node-based composition. Loops, random note generation
It creates midi that can be fed into soft synths or hardware synths
I want to use it to create interesting semi-random arpeggiated textures

Software to enable file-sharing

I started working on MuseScore. I watched some explanatory vids and tried it out
I can’t download MuseScore 4 until I upgrade my computer (Windows 8 vs 10)

Inspiration (parasocially) ex. videos, Skillshare classes

Jay Allen Skillshare — Precomposition, Destroy Writer’s Block for Good, MuseScore 4
Benn Jordan — This is where I heard about Midinous

Inspiration via interactions with human beings

Talked to my therapist Patricia, who is a musician
setting up lessons with tutor
talking a friend into getting a DAW so he can use Midinous
joined a Discord server
