Did me know? thaumata is a meany who says* I have to learn obscure things like 'reading basic sheet music' and 'playing with more than one finger' before I can compose and perform my own microtonal radialfractal raga canons and fugues incorporating African drumming rhythms and gamelan time cycles with lyrics in the language of the humpback whales. Also suggests 1-3 basic books instead of 4 cubic feet of advanced musical philosophy.

That's how you know she's made of silly sauce.

(*for some value of 'says')

I can't wait to hear your music creations.

I bet you can.

Nope. About to explode this very minute with anticipation. ;)

Seriously, though, while it's good to know those things and will enhance your understanding of how to create music, there are many composition programs out there that merely require you to know how to plug sound samples into different channels and arrange them until they coalesce into harmony.

Then learn away, my friend, because while it will take longer to learn the manual way, it will stay with you longer. :)
