> Hi there!

I just realized this was my first posting to this list, so an 
introduction is in order. My name is Kim Johnsson, I live in Finland, 
I'm a mere 36 years old and making music is my favorite non-physical 
hobby, and I am very enthusiastic about it. I started more or less from 
scratch at the late age of 25. I really don't play any instrument 
particularly well; I can manage on keyboards and I strum a little 
guitar, and I can barely keep a beat on my e-drumset. I would definitely 
not want to perform anything live in front of an audience. Over the 
years, I've accumulated a collection of gear which I really like. I'm a 
hardware guy by nature, but it's not a religion thing, as I've also 
recently bought the impOSCar VSTi, which I think sounds excellent. I 
listen to music along the lines of Depeche Mode, John Foxx, Peter 
Gabriel, Vangelis, Jarre, Ultravox, Kraftwerk (just saw them live!), 
Autechre, Rammstein and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. I suppose my 
music is a combination of all of these, with the exception that it's not 
particularly good :-) I am frighteningly unproductive, but as this is 
just a hobby, I don't really mind. I bought a Machinedrum last summer, 
and I've been enjoying it a lot. It's effectively taken over drum duties 
from all other machines, except for the samples. At the time I bought 
it, I thought it was somewhat pricey, but it's definitely proved to be 
worth the money.

That's it, really.

As you were,
