Reminds me of John Carpenter movies from the 80s. If anyone has recommendations of where I can find more like this, please let me know.
What kind of music do you want to make?

I came from playing guitar and always being a big lover of Jungle, footwork, and some faster electronic stuff. I played in all sorts of doom, shoegaze, and math rock bands. I still consider myself more of a guitarist and as of late play my guitar much much more than my synths.
I've been messing around with synths for like 4-5 years and I got into modular like 2 years ago and honestly it's been a back and forth. I sometimes feel more inspired from my regular synths and tend to make more actual music with them. I feel like with my modular I end up dicking around, and honestly I enjoy the DIY aspect of modular more than I enjoy the modular itself. The ambient and bleep bloopy stuff has never caught my attention but the look and feel of modular got me.
I often see the limit and the infinite potential in the modular, but only because I feel that way about any and all instruments. The thing that keeps me selling and returning is the fact that it is pretty pricey for me imo.
