Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

    I make music, but it's not really music anyone would want to put on at a party, so I don't tell anyone about it. There's nothing more awkward than standing there trying to explain to someone that what they're listening to is a chord progression played with each note slightly out of phase such that rather than distinct chord changes, you just get an overall impression of it as time progresses while they screw up their face in confusion and disgust. Not that everything I make is a conceptual experiment, but that's inevitably what someone will put on if they discover my music.

      Damn bro are you me?? Haha but seriously, BoC is probably my biggest influence ever and I hear quite a bit of their influence in your stuff. I hardly ever tell anyone about my music because I feel that most people just won't "get" it.

        BoC are pretty good, but I've bounced off every album since MhtRtC which I listened to an obscene amount of back when it came out. I didn't hate them, just none of them grabbed me like their first.

        The SH-101 is a great synth. Which I don't own, but that rubbery, wobbly analog sound is fantastic.
