Skating's the same. The first time you land a trick's a real moment.Hitting the point where you are making constant recognizable improvement is addicting. Sometimes I wonder if that actually supersedes the joy of the music itself. I used to play Street Fighter and there is a similar feeling there, tightening up your mechanics, working new ones into your bag.
That's a really good way of putting it.There's a machinic joy to it. You go automatic in the midst of some practiced maneuver and that sense of your hands 'taking over' is exciting. In that instant you feel like a third party to your own performance
Didnt even know they made recorders that expensive
Yeah, but could you do this:I used to be really into the art of scratching when I was a teenager. Bought mixers with special scratch faders, special cartridges. Spent hours and hours every day at the turbtables of my parents basement. Did exercises to make these controlled wrist vibrations. Was really good at one point.

Yes I was. I was very into J Dilla and Madlib that sort of stuff. This was maybe 2007-2011. I first bought a record player for sampling. Plugged it into the mpc. Then I just added equipment I bought second hand. Had quite a little studio going until I started selling it off because I got into going out.We're you a big hip hop fan or?
