I thought about getting one of those touch pads. They seem like
the closest thing to an instrument I've dreamed of since I was a
kid. Setting up the sounds would be annoying, as when I write
stuff in my head, the instruments are all over the place, and
often they're instruments that just don't exist in reality.
I guess the shit in my head is typically the "Epic music"
category along with some absurdism... I don't take myself
seriously yet I also take myself way too seriously
simultaneously.
I've got raps in my head too; public speaking teacher once
called me "white rapper" (mid 90s, Gangsta rap era), as we had
to stand up and give an impromptu speech. I hated it, but I came
up with a rhyming thing using objects in the room and it was
kinda fun.
I think I would've loved growing up in a neighborhood where kids
rapped with each other. That would've been fun. I'm also a
child-of-the-80s and had to wait 'til Aerosmith did the RunDMC
thing to FINALLY see a caucasian accepting rap; before that it
was entirely forbidden fruit for whites. It's _WAY_ better now.
