Something To Think About

There was suddenly all this software. If you weren’t musically inclined it made it possible for you to sound like a musician. That’s what has totally revolutionized the industry. This is not about going to music school or learning music theory, it’s about passion, experimentation and letting it go. But ultimately, I don’t think any particular form of technology is as revolutionary as the person using it.
