because I don't give a fuck about anything else but making music.
It`s just what I do. Can`t stop it and can`t avoid it.

Basically what Limit said there.

I never chose to start producing, it's something I've been involved with ever since I was a kid. It's all I really know.

I'd be producing even if nobody else in the world would get to hear the tracks, it's just something I need to do.

To be honest I do not know why this my primary hobby. I don't really listen to music, yet I spend all my time and money on gear and learning more about the trade.

I think if I sat down and figured out why, I would come up with a blank and flip out to the fact I've spent so much time and money doing this.

Mostly for my own entertainment. I have always enjoyed learning how different things work and having a good final result feels really great. You know, kind of like "that sounds pretty damn good, and I made it!" I don't have any musical talent and I'm not that creative, so I know I won't become famous with it (neither am I trying to).

Originally posted by Storyteller I become insane when I don't produce for more than 2 weeks. I start drumming on everything I have around me. Humming melodies and pretending I can beatbox. I need music production to keep me from going insane.

haha have the exact same problem...

music is our life. without it, we cant live.

Do you want to try to express emotions through sound? Do you just want to get some dance floors moving?

Those two and I just simply love producing. At first I was one of those "wow, this is cool, I gotta try it too" guys but later I fell in love with it.

Haven't had very many ideas in a while so I have been taking a little break from producing.

I do it because its fun. It is also something where I see constant improvement and development and that in itself is a satisfying experience to relive frequently.

I also like building things and making things and find this rewarding in itself. It doesn't feel like work and its a fuck sight more productive than playing counter-strike all day.

I've asked myself this sometimes.

Producing is my therapy. As much as I work and go to school, producing is the one thing I do to get away and relax. I love music (in general, edm in particular) and I think the other thing that motivates me is the non-stop learning - it's challenging and I like that. I would love to get some dance floors moving, and sure, some money would be great, too. But I already make really good money so this is more of a "hobby" I guess... but it's been the most expensive and time consuming hobby I've ever had. I've kicked around the idea of building a professional studio - but not entirely decided on that yet.

I enjoy trying to make music, trying to put the ideas in my head into something that sounds good, the way I want it. Sadly it doesn't always work out that way, but I've still got A LOT of learning to do. And it's fun to have others listen to what I've come up with.

I originally started to produce for fame and wealth, during this phase, I solely produced rap, hip hop, and R&B instrumentals.

Sometime during the beginning of last year, I began to produce trance music as a hobby. It was then, that a few friends of mine asked me to throw some of the tracks I was working on onto a CD. This had me leaning more towards the reason of moving dance floors and evoking emotion into my tracks. I also enjoy programming synthesizers and manipulating sound.

I use to play guitar in a heavy metal band (local) the progression into electronic music just seemed like a natural fit for me.
The music fascinates me, every aspect of it, the more I learn about making electronic music, the more addicted I become to it.

I really have no intentions of 'making it big' I have a great day time job that pays the bills, for me it's all about expressing my thoughts through music and overcoming the challenges involved with learning the art form.

I can literally burn off hours and hours when I'm creating music.

First and foremost I produce because I love making music. I have pictures from 1993 with me wearing grunge band t-shirts. I must've been all of 12 or 13 at the time. I play guitar, keyboards, and violin, and music has always been my emotional outlet. I produce to try to touch people's lives. Most of my songs tend to focus on deep-seated emotion and unconditional beauty. I feel that if my music can reach even one person, then it is all worth it.
