976 – the dullest mid-life crisis ever

As a gentleman gets towards fifty, he may show signs of trying to recapture some (possibly aspirational) aspect of his youth. This might take the form of buying an unnecessarily powerful motorbike, having an affair with a younger woman, taking flying up hangliding or whatever.

Here I am, with 976 days to go until I hit the big 50, and I am painstakingly reading the manuals on how my software synthesisers work, imagining how I’d use this or that parameter to make some brand new sound.

Just like I did at 18.

It’s bloody brilliant.
