The 'child like appreciation' of the toys/instruments is really fascinating to me. I have several less common instruments, like a talharpa (tagelharpa), lyre, etc. on top of a collection of synths, and my students have generally never seen either. In fact with synthesizers they often ask me if "That's what I use to DJ with" despite... it sometimes having literal keys on it like a piano. Perhaps because I teach teenagers, some are already afraid to touch the instruments, get nervous just holding them, perhaps they can recognize that its special, or may cost money or whatever, but some just really dive right in and are excited to play it. They'll ask me how I learned to play any of them, and I tell them I just picked it up and started playing them until I got better, just like they can. They're surprised I was willing to buy them never having played them and I explain that's kind of the point, that's why I got it, I wanted to play it and there was no one like me I knew of that had stuff like that. I didn't even start playing until I was quite a bit older (technically I had lessons as a kid but there was a massive gap), and just doing it and giving things a shot not only boosted my confidence and made me happy even when the songs might not be that great. But even after a few years I still enjoy picking up a new instrument (my bukkehorn showed up today!) and figuring out how to use it, and how to include it into a song is always a lot of fun.

Prince is the PERFECT example of someone who utilized this technique. The guy could play 27 instruments. I doubt he was "pro" level at all 27 instruments but this creative mindset isn't about being god tier. its about expanding on your weaknesses, pushing yourself out of your comfy zone and growing as a creative person and taking what you CAN do and maximizing it to its full potential. This skill is greatly overlooked and under utilized. Fantastic video.

In the 80's I loved all these synthpop bands. And in 1986, most of them turned completely shit and made idiot stuff like crappy soul or bad pop-rock, etc. Because they had had hits, and now had money and experience to make what they WANTED to do all the time. And it sucked. When they couldn't play instruments, knew nothing about music and had no money for studio time, they made amazing, groundbreaking music. Because, as you say, they needed to come up with ways of overcoming their limitations, and by doing that they came up with new, groundbreaking stuff. Examples: OMD, Heaven 17, Human League, they all made crap albums in 1986. Even Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk released low-point albums in 1986, although Kraftwerk certainly did know what they were doing, the whole time, so that's not relevant to my point. :-E Men Without Hats are relevant, though, although their shit album was in 1987. Tears for Fears also made their last good album in 1985. The year music died, 1986.

I love that topic: It is about a learning path versus exploration of something. Exploring something you are not professional at, comes with a lot of freedom. - This applies to jamming as well: Open stages that allow people to grab an instrument and be part of the experience - I have seen magical things happen with people there, fe: "Hey, that was cool what key was that in? You must be a pretty experienced bass-player"-"I picked this thing up half an hour ago". Or Professional musicians saying that it was totally wrong on a technical level, but worked and felt surprisingly good afterwards... Those Jam-Sessions, I was lucky to get into regularly some years ago, were a gateway for me to explore expressing myself with audio as well. I do not care if what I make is listenable or good by certain measures - it is merely an expression of a moment in time. A sound that felt right for my thoughts, my situation... that moment. Be it understood or misunderstood - liked or not - in this case, this is my way of exploring. - - Thinking about that more - it all, the whole topic, feels like a byproduct of the journey being the destination more and more. - Which can also be a mighty reminder for professionals as well and ties into some of the less-is-more logic. --- That was inspirational! Thanks Magpie!

I also cant deny that I was far more prolific when I didn't know what I was doing at all but also wasn't super worried about it being perfect because who would ever hear my Sony acid no midi no vst all sample manipulation beats?

I am happy I bit the bullet and got synths and samplers because it opened an entire world were I can create an entire project instead of learning chords from a Led Zeppelin tab book. It is my own sound. Even if my wife and kids make fun of me, I love making noise that I can control and manipulate.

I couldn’t agree more with this video, Simon. I come from a background of playing in a lot of metal or metal adjacent bands and there couldn’t be a style of music with less character and originality. Everything is quantized or recorded slow and sped up, slip editing and vocal tuning are rampant. Drummers will record their hands and feet separately and even then their tracks are quantized to the grid. Guitarists tend to use the same plugins and modellers to get their tones… This is all in the pursuit of sounding “perfect” and in that pursuit they lose every last bit of life that may have existed in their music.

It's been a long journey of trying to accept my limitations, my incapacity of playing any instrument and my lack of theory. I just been trying to focus on having fun. But despite having that approach to things, there are some things that are still a big struggle for me. Not knowing how to sing/hating my voice is a big one for me, I've relegated myself to just to instrumental stuff but it frustrates me a lot that feeling of shame of anyone listening to my attempts of singing or playing an instrument. I don't know how to get rid of that feeling.

Interesting in regards to mixing and all as well. I think I might talk about that in a future video cause I think it might be very relatable!

@@SimonTheMagpie oh yes, I see mixing as one of the most asked kind of feedback on the discord, people are always worried it's too muddy or things like that. Please do a "fuck mixing" video.

I used to hate theory as if it was some kind of hard to learn boogieman that was complicated and very difficult to learn, but it's really not and you learn a lot of the neat little patterns that theory teaches you just by playing. Theory is just a structure you can chop up and manipulate as you please, in all honesty I see it as a way to organize the notes and as a map to go where I want whenever I feel it. Because in the end all you are trying to do is get the music out of your head and into the world. And if you just keep on doing that over and over again, you'll learn little pieces of it and after some time things will begin to click. I had to learn to ease up and let myself be weird and that helped a lot. Every artist makes a lot of stuff that isn't great before they make that one masterpiece and honestly the more you're making the more you're improving and the more of a chance you have to find that one hidden gem. I tell my friends this all the time, don't whoop the baby. Your art is just a child right now. Maybe it can barely even walk. Babies technically suck at walking but they keep on doing all sorts of crap that isn't really walking until they walk. But they do it because they don't even know that it's bad. Nobody is beating them every time they fall or shouting at them for not being able to walk yet. So I have to treat my art like it's a baby. And I had to let go of the mindset that my art isn't worth making unless I'm aiming to monetize it and make it into a product. It's not! It's something I enjoy and it's good for my mental and emotional health and it's fun. I don't know if any of that helps you or if you feel you can apply any of these concepts. Everyone is different and learns the same things differently. Nevertheless it changed my creative life to realize these things.

Thanks for this unique perspective! I have often felt self conscious and discouraged by my inabilities when it comes to making music. But framing that as a creative tool is a really good way of looking at it.

I have no music knowledge nor skills but I like to connect few synths, sequencers, and make some horrendous noise and ambient. I even try to play with simple melodies, and I don't care how bad it is, these experiments give me enormous pleasure.
