Hi everybody! My name is Henning and I live in the NL. I have been playing piano when I was a kid, and also did some very basic electronics and soldering during my childhood. In the recent years, I have been looking for a way to come back to music and electronics but could never motivate myself to learn piano sheets etc. and I had no good project for doing electronics. The lockdown had an enormous effect on me because it made life incredibly difficult, as both my partner and I are working and we have a 2 years old child. I thus looked for a positive way to deal with emotions. First I listened to NIN a lot and then I started to watch Sam’s videos. I realised that instead of going back to piano, I could go for synths! That’s what I did and I purchased a Behringer (boooh! 👎 , but I cannot afford a Minimoog…) Poly D to get started. This helped me a great deal to learn basics of synths, but reading the excellent [SOS Synth Secrets](https://www.soundonsound.com/series/synth-secrets) series wetted my appetite. My project is now to build various modules that are adding something to what the Poly D can do (not just subtractive synthesis 😃 ), learn more about music theory and then concentrate on making some music as a way for expressing myself. Another future idea is to develop modules or synths that can be used in education. This because I lecture at the university in logic, theoretical computer science and math. But I have done FPGA and embedded development in the past. And now I’m devouring knowledge about analogue electronics! One part of my project is to build a (Tayda-friendly) Kosmo Module around the Teensy. The planning for this is done, and I have learned a lot about analogue filter already 🙂 Next up, I have to submit my orders for the components and plan a case for the modules. In any case, I found this forum and the community already as passive reader great and extremely helpful. Now it’s time to become an active member! --- _[View the full topic](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/introductions-say-hello-tell-us-about-yourself-and-your-projects/24)._
