I'm really enjoying listening to all the saxophone players in my Grandpa's CD collection at the moment, all the greats are there: Bird, Hawk, Pres, Webster, Mulligan, Cannonball, Stitt, Pepper, Woods, Heath, McLean, Konitz, Rollins, Desmond and many, many more...

Only unfortunate side effect is that I miss my own sax, and wish I hadn't sold it.. So hold on to your instruments if you can, folks!

How to Enjoy Practicing Again

Every musician experiences seasons when practice feels exciting—and seasons when it feels like a chore. Losing motivation doesn’t mean you’ve lost your passion. More often, it means your routine needs a fresh approach.

As a music instructor and mentor, I’ve seen students rediscover their love for music after making a few intentional changes. The goal isn’t simply to practice more—it’s to practice in a way that keeps you engaged, challenged, and inspired.

Here are a few practical ways to make practice enjoyable again.

1. Remember Why You Started

Think back to what first inspired you to learn music. Was it a song that moved you, a musician you admired, or the joy of making music?

Reconnecting with your purpose can reignite your passion.

2. Set Small, Achievable Goals

Trying to master everything at once can become overwhelming.

Instead, focus on one objective at a time: learn a new chord progression, master a difficult passage, improve your rhythm, memorize one verse of a song.

Small victories build momentum and keep you motivated.

3. Add Variety to Your Practice

Avoid doing the same routine every day.

Mix your sessions by including: technique exercises, ear training, sight-reading, improvisation, learning a favourite song, playing or singing with backing tracks or other musicians.

Variety keeps practice fresh and enjoyable.

4. Celebrate Progress

Don’t focus only on how far you still have to go. Take time to appreciate how much you’ve already improved.

Record yourself occasionally and compare your progress over time. Growth is often easier to hear when you look back.

5. Practice with Others

Music is meant to be shared. Join a choir, play or sing in a band, rehearse with friends, or participate in group lessons. Making music with others often renews enthusiasm and builds confidence.

6. Create a Consistent Routine

You don’t need to practice for hours every day.

Even 20–30 minutes of focused practice can produce remarkable progress when done consistently. A sustainable routine is far more effective than occasional marathon sessions.

7. Be Patient with Yourself

Some days will feel productive, while others may not. That’s part of learning.

Don’t let one difficult practice session discourage you. Progress is measured over weeks and months, not by a single day.

Conclusion

The joy of music isn’t found only in reaching your goals—it’s found in the journey of becoming better with every practice session.

When you practice with purpose, curiosity, and consistency, the routine becomes more than an obligation. It becomes an opportunity to grow, create, and discover new possibilities.

Fall in love with the process, and the results will follow.

Reflection

What one change could you make this week that would make your practice sessions more enjoyable and more meaningful?

“The musicians who enjoy the journey are the ones who stay long enough to discover how far their dedication can take them. Learn to love the process, and excellence will become a natural result.” — Victor Adenola

The Perfect Instrument to Start With

One of the first questions aspiring musicians and parents ask is, “Which instrument is the best to start with?”

The answer may be surprising: there is no single perfect instrument—only the right instrument for the right learner.

As a music instructor and mentor, I’ve taught students who began with the piano, guitar, drums, violin, saxophone, and voice. I’ve discovered that success depends less on the instrument itself and more on the learner’s interest, commitment, and quality of instruction.

The best instrument is one that inspires you to keep learning.

1. Start with Your Interest

Passion is a powerful motivator.

If you enjoy the sound of the violin, you’ll be more excited to practice it. If you’re fascinated by the drums or inspired by the piano, let that interest guide your decision.

Learning becomes more enjoyable when you genuinely love the instrument.

2. Consider Your Goals

Ask yourself these questions;

• Do you want to play in a church band or orchestra?
• Do you dream of becoming a music producer?
• Would you like to accompany yourself while singing?
• Are you preparing for music examinations or a professional career?

Your goals can help determine the most suitable starting point.

3. The Piano Is an Excellent Foundation

If you’re unsure where to begin, the piano is one of the best instruments to start with.

It helps you understand: Music Theory, Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, Ear training, and Sight-reading.

Many professional musicians who play other instruments first developed their musical foundation through the piano.

4. Every Instrument Develops Unique Skills

Each instrument offers something valuable:

• Piano builds a strong overall musical foundation.
• Voice develops musicianship and expressive communication.
• Guitar is versatile and ideal for accompaniment and songwriting.
• Drums strengthen rhythm, timing, and coordination.
• Violin develops precision, listening skills, and musical sensitivity.
• Saxophone enhances breath control, tone production, and musical expression.

There is no “superior” instrument—each contributes to your growth in different ways.

5. Choose Commitment Over Convenience

The instrument you choose is only the beginning.

Progress comes through consistent practice, quality instruction, patience, discipline, and willingness to learn from mistakes

A committed learner will often achieve more than someone with a better instrument but little dedication.

Conclusion

The perfect instrument is not simply the one that looks impressive or is most popular. It is the one that aligns with your passion, supports your goals, and motivates you to keep growing.

Don’t spend months searching for the “perfect” instrument while delaying your musical journey. Start where you are, learn with intention, and allow your skills to grow one lesson at a time.

The instrument may begin your journey—but your dedication will determine where it leads.

Reflection

If you could begin learning any instrument today without fear or limitation, which one would you choose, and what first step can you take this week?

“The perfect instrument is not the one you admire from a distance, but the one you are willing to learn with patience, discipline, and consistency.” — Victor Adenola

as a musician, i respect natural cycles of creativity. there is a time to research, a time for rest, to produce, or promote.

i follow intuition and sacred times for my output, not the direction of corporations.

tomorrow is @bandcamp
friday.
great.
i already have several recent releases that are worth spending time with.

feel free to listen any time.

C64 SID

The SID CMOS IC in the C64 delivers an interesting eight bit sound colour in the C64

When I first heard the C64 SID as a kid it was nothing to throw your hat at. I've had experiences with concert piano's, tenor saxophones, percussion instruments in the electric range professional synths, bass guitars so I knew this bleep bloop ssshtt IC could never sound the way of the pro musical hardware, especially not the acoustic instruments.

Last Ninja I

It was when I heard the music of Last Ninja I knew that with it's severe limits, the Sound Interface Device has something special to offer. The composer of the music of this game did something marvelous.

He used arpeggio techniques to make the SID play chords

• SID does not play polyphonic sound
• Arpeggio gives the illusion of chords due to the rapid succession of notes played
• Iconic music was spawned with Last Ninja
• Unique arpeggio chords created on the SID are still seeked by those who were kids in that period
• Others copied the technique and a cult music genre was born
• People still create SID chords on emulated C64's to this day, since the machine is long gone in the anals of history

Background & history

Personal POV

• Being brought up with acoustic instruments of all kind, I know how good and a great instruments should sound
• I have perfect pitch
• I can hear up to the 1/100 of a Hz if a instrument is in tune
• It's annoying when instruments are out of tune for me.
• That distuned instrument, sounds like a kakaphony of cats squealing making the played music horrific in my head
• I came with a high level of raw musical talent enabling me to easily pickup all different kinds of acoustical instruments
• Behind a piano, without any formal training, I could easily play a song in minutes with the chords and the lead tune in a good manner
• I loved to play on the electric bass, so the bass track which I first compose in my head, when I play the piano, is played in sequence
• I would then pickup one of the brass instruments (I love the Tenor Sax) and play the lead well in munutes too
• All that was left was playing the chords on any synth or keyboard available (usually one of the Korg or Yamaha synths)
• I can hear and mix the levels of instruments in my head
• It's easy to remix a sound in my head without having to touch a mixing console
• All of these talents combined give me good insights in music as a whole and computer (SID music then) as a detail
  
• I can work on electrical equiment on the pcb level, something I picked up as a young kid
• From the age of three I disassembled tube radios with expert precision, making me fluent in the disassembly and assembly of tube radios
• I assembled them back in working order from the age of four, after complete disassebly!
• This gives me great insight in the hardware level of electronics

Last Ninja+

• I naturally dismantled my C64 again when I heard the game.
• Why did the game sound that way from a hardware POV
• What makes the IC tick
• I've got the manuals of all the IC's
• I had already replaced the PLA906114 Program Logic Array with a new one on a socked, with no qualms
• The PLA9016114 got too hot in the tropics (max temp 70C) so it never lived long without a heat sink.
• My PLA's were programmed by a friend of mine who was an expert in the programming field
• The new PLA's came blank
• I did all the extraction, socked soldering and other work myself

The answer was in the C64 hardware manual

• SID does just 8 bit audio
• has zero polyphony
• a limited frequency range both low and high
• has scratchy output (which I later learned to appreciate)
• has monophonic, single channel analog output
• is in actuality a fair sounding IC but far from great

The Yamaha 8 bit sound IC of that period was much better

Yamaha had less succes than the SID for a simple reason

Mass deployment

• SID was everywhere!
• C64 machines were sold like warm bread in the morning at the old baker
• Mass deployment means much more software programmed for the IC
• SID won on mass deplyment and lower price in comparison with the lead 8 bit Yamaha audio IC of that period
• The ammount of games making use of the SID was staggering in comparision
• Games drove the success of the SID to astronomical heights
• I got used to the SID, later seeking it's sound when I transitioned to my Amiga A500 with

Paula

• Paula is polyphonic with 16 bit (14 bits actually) sound
• Paula sounds much cleaner
• has 4 channels 0 1 2 3
• hard panning of channels in the stereo analog output
• more stability
• more joy

Motivation for seeking SID after it was gone...

• Simple
• NOSTALGIA
• We all have it
• even kids do

Ode to SID

You've been great
