What are the reasons you like to make music? Here’s mine:

1 - It feels gratifying to listen to something I created
2 - I have specific tastes so I make things I want to listen to
3 - Jamming on instruments with other people is fun
4 - It’s a mentally engaging and rewarding process
5 - Music is a wide field with constant new skills to learn

My wife: you don’t want to make money, you just do it for fun.
Me: Well I don’t care about making money and I love doing it, but when people tell me how it makes them feel it also makes me feel like I’m kind of changing the world.
My wife: you don’t want to make money, you just do it for fun, I will have no expectations.
Me: whatever you say honey, less pressure for me. :joy::joy::joy:

Sitting alone in your room at night meditating over a piece a music you wrote that gets you into a flow of a certain feeling of timelessness

It seems I don’t have a choice.
When I get into a creative flow it feels like I’m participating in something beyond the material realm (whatever that might be). This is marvellously liberating and amounts to something like a rejoicing in the purpose of life.
I’ve noticed this with other seemingly (relatively) mundane activities, but music seems to offer the most undiluted communion with the beyond that I have experienced, maybe because it has no utility other than to exist.

I rarely, if ever, worry about the horror of one day not existing whilst making music.

Feeling absolutely connected to the moment as it is happening.
Trance state.
Flow.

This is possible in all things.

Pressing a key/pad and hearing some filthy bass noise. I will never get bored of that. :raised_hands:

Fun.

I love dancing. It is like this ritualistic avenue of expression. Nothing beats the feeling of letting the groove take the wheel. I want to make other people feel the same way.

The communal feeling of a crowd of people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, religions… All connected through the same groove at the same time… World changing stuff, man.

I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

For me art is a snapshot of time. When days pass endlessly, when one bleeds into the next, what better signpost to say we have been here, alive and feeling, than art… none

1 - When I first started out listening to electronic music at the age of 14, I liked the music but always thought that most of it could be better if just this and that was changed to sound like that and this. That’s the most fundamental/initial reason for me. Took me many years realizing that I get most inspiration going through my sample folders or presets until I hit upon something that sparks ideas. Like, “what if I did this and that to this sound?”.
Which leads me to nr. 2

2 - The process of exploring and experimenting can be a very exciting and pleasing experience. Very enjoyable sometimes.

3 - The enjoyment of a very satisfying end result.
