Hi Blogheads,
Today I'm going to tell you about my hobby - making music.
I began making music for the first time aged 12 when I started to learn to play guitar. I'd been writing poetry for a couple of years and I tried to turn my poems into songs. By the time I could play 2 chords I wrote my first song (the chords were C and Em7). I started playing in a rock band aged 16 and a Punk band aged 17. I played in bands for the 15 years and also starting making some house music until I decided to go to university as a mature student.
Nowadays, my hobby mainly involves making music using a programme called Ableton Live. But sometimes I use guitar and keyboard. Very occasionally I sing:) I spend much of my free time making music. During the semester I don't always get a chance to make music every day but I will spend up to 10 hours doing my hobby on an average weekend.
I current have 2 musical projects. I still release songs as Experiment SH1310 (I have a new single out today).

The song below is a track I released in February as part of a multi-media project with a Columbian designer who I met in China last year (we are making music at a distance!):

The name of our band is Amateur Beauty. On January 22nd we released our first album and launched our website. On March 28th, our 2nd album ABDB, a homage to pop singer David Bowie, came out.
The full album is here:

I really enjoy this hobby because I lose myself in the music when I'm creating. It is almost like meditating and I love the sensation it creates. Also, now that my music is on Spotify and I-tunes its easier to share.
