Music
Ever since I was young, I have had a very strong fascination and connection with music. In fact, my most common online pseudonym (Europa) comes from the song "Europa and the Pirate Twins" by Thomas Dolby, which I remember listening to quite a lot when I was a kid. The present chapter in my musical endeavors began in earnest in 2018, on my 16th birthday, when I received an Arturia MicroBrute as a gift. Pretty much immediately I began to make music with it (at the time I was using my 2009 MacBook, but I have since moved to my ThinkPad P53 and presently my M2 MacBook Air). Initially my work was very heavily influenced by the likes of Tangerine Dream, but since then I have branched out and made music in a variety of different genres. in 2019, again for my birthday, I was given an Arturia KeyLab Essential 49, which was bundled with Arturia's Analog Lab software, and later that year I obtained a Roland SC-880. Both of these have allowed me to make better and a wider variety of music than I would had I not obtained such equipment.
On account of various conditions of life, I have since fallen out of regular music production, however I do fully intend to begin in earnest once more. I may also host samples of my music here for listening eventually, however I'm unsure if I will.
