Make 100 Toggled Patches Connected to FCB1010
Work out How to Control Pitchfactor
Play the game lots (or leave it playing in the background lots) so that the world becomes uniquely populated
Make patches. There are only 100 how hard could it be (make improvised recordings along to your old stuff so that you can focus on sound instead of playing - and also not destroy your relationship)
Learn to play the trombone (~20 years [formative thought pattern: hey Dad does that and it's really cool omg][current thought pattern: hey this is fun])
Produce lots of music so you have an idea of what sounds good (at least to you, I guess?) [thought pattern: hey this is fun]
