I started at eight years old with playing video game music on the piano/keyboard, which eventually became improvised medleys and rearrangements. I became adept at decompiling proprietary file archives using specialized tools (OpenMPT, Sappy, VGMTrans) in order to extract video game music sequences and soundbanks. I also developed strong relative pitch and started transcribing by ear in real-time when there were lack of such specialized tools for certain video game console generations. For music I especially liked, I learned manual transcription, which is still a very expensive process to this day.
I have no regrets about exploring this interest and hobby, as it has now turned into a serious journey of self-actualization. Currently I am attempting to transition from the piano/keyboard to the LinnStrument, but progress has been difficult and slow for various reasons. My understanding of music theory remains fully self-taught and self-driven, with my entire workflow now being based on gratis and libre open-source software. The only music genre I ever consume now anymore is jungle.
