Modular synths. Yeah, it's more tech, but it's so different from making electronic than on a laptop. I used to make music with a laptop, but after spending eight hours on a computer at work, the last thing I wanted to do was sit at a computer for "fun", so I gave it up. About a decade ago, a friend of mine got into modular synths and got really good. (He ended up founding New York Modular Synth Society, btw. [0]) I'd see what he was doing and got jealous. So a few years ago I gave it a shot and put together a "small" system for a few thousand dollars. Now somehow I grew that to a $20,000 system. I'm still not "good", but fuck it. It's so much fun. I'm not very social, but there are a lot of modular communities out there, and they're all pretty welcoming and helpful. [0] https://nyms.love/ https://nyms.love/
