Like
so many artists all over the world, I live on a very tight budget which
- quite simply - prevents me from buying all those costly music machines
you can see under the fingers of people like Jarre or Vangelis. This
has very often stopped me from making any music at all in the past, but fortunately
that is no longer the case. Why? Well, because on this planet where
everything and (horrible to say) every life turns on money, there's a
bunch of mad scientists who
create some wonderful virtual instruments and make them available for free
to anybody willing and happy to make music with them.
These instruments and effects units called "VST's" are basically (for the non
musicians among you) synthesizers etc. in the form of software; the machine
is no longer a "physical" object, but an image on the computer screen that generates
sounds and noises just like
a "real" musical machine. The hardware versions of those machines would cost
so much that so many people like me would be forced not to play, and therefore
a lot less genuine, non-market-driven music would exist.
I've been using with more than satisfactory results all the free VST's I've
found since the end of 2004.
The limitations to creativity are very, very few. So, a HUGE "Thank you!!" goes
out to all those brilliant, talented, and so very generous developers thanks
to whom music can go on!!
