I didn’t know where else to write this. I just wanted to share and this community has really been something special for me for the past few months. Although I haven’t done much here but lurk, checking up multiple times a day has become somewhat of a daily ritual.
I’m not writing looking for sympathy or anything really. I just wanted it out there, a thank you to the people who made this happen and who brought us all here. Six months ago I was on the brink of suicide when I stumbled on Elektron’s devices. I used up all my savings to buy an Octatrack and an Analog Four, you know just to jam for a bit on something I liked before I said goodbye.
That decision changed me and my outlook on life and for the first time in many years I felt joy. I grew passionate about learning these machines and found solace in their comfort. I’m constantly finding creativity, which I didn’t even know I had and they’ve given me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I know this may seem silly to some but I owe Elektron a lot and hope they keep doing what they do.
You’re an amazing community and in you I’ve found friends, fellow elektronauts ready to take on the world one beat at a time.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
