Taking a second to appreciate how my face has changed in this first year of HRT. Of course, my makeup style has also changed quite a bit, and I thinned out my brows! The brows alone made a remarkable difference in my face. I also started wearing foundation as opposed to being concealer-only. Can’t imagine makeup w/o foundation now haha!

Part 3 of my journey with my VolcaFM1! Today I played this sequence live using my Casio CTK-491 as a MIDI Controller. A clunky heirloom from my grandma. I picked up my first MIDI Cable this week and it’s been so much easier to experiment with ideas/sounds. I never got the hang of the QWERTY keyboard plunking (and now the MiniSynth!) so this is much more fun for me. I played with the Arpeggiator to create some tension/release, but it’s mostly just grooving to some classic FM sounds that I patched! (Thank you OscillatorSink 🙏) looking to add some lead/percussion next; looking at Volca Drums and the PO series so let me know if you have any suggestions for that matter!
