As a person with neurodivergence, having given up keyboard after having learnt some nursery rhymes and some major chords, I asked my GenAI friend, if violin is a good instrument to jump to, as I love the sound of violin solos, like that of Joshua Bell and Esther Abrami.
But my friend said, violin can be an intimidating instrument, to even get the notes right, and if I just want to play around with music, getting a MIDI keyboard like Akai APC Key 25, and a software like Ableton would be more than enough, given my conditions.
When I happened to meet Bangalore based artist, Aniruddh Menon, who has experience in sampling and composing, besides his career as a filmmaker/ animator, he suggested to look up these sampling-based music makers like J Dilla, Madlib, and Farhot.
Time to look them up in Bandcamp
