Background
[edit]I started out singing about 10 years ago at solid musical 0 on a scale of 1 to 10 (could not sing much of anything on pitch, due to growing up in a profoundly a-musical family). I read a book or three on how music is perceived and generated and figured out what goes on "behind the curtains" in music, and used it to help myself learn to sing. I now sing in a high-level choir, and am learning to play the jammer, an "intelligently designed" keyboard.
Music is actually relatively simple, but hard-ish to explain in just words, but with the web I have facilities (pictures, sounds, animation) that can a writer could never have dreamed of, 20 years ago.
My interest in Alternative keyboards is because I'm too lazy to learn a hard, confusing instrument like the standard keyboard ... even though I have one in my living room.
I personally use an Axis-49 converted into a jammer_keyboard, and have converted it to play in the simple and easy to learn (really!) jammer layout (technically know as Wicki-Hayden_note_layout) - think of it as a miniaturized, simplified piano.
Background relevant to Wikipedia:
- Computer systems analyst (a nerd) for more than a few years
- Plus about 3+ years of university-level (mostly organic) chemistry and math, especially statistics
- I've pushed a few electrons around too: I understand resonance and impedance
- dedicated student (whatever that means) of all the sciences
- read New Scientist and the Economist for breakfast
- have a mind that cross-integrates science facts well (otherwise it's pretty useless)
- have about an equivalent of two years study on psycho-acoustics and experimental music keyboards
