When I was living in Toronto (12 years ago...), my best mate's older brother brought home all this old electronic "junk" that someone had thrown out on the curb. I couldn't tell you what was what (and even now I doubt I could if I had it all to look at again), but there was a working oscilloscope, a synthesiser, and various other circuit boards and plates with all knobs on them. There was also a Roland piece of some sort (I only remember cos Roland was just about the only name I recognised out of it all!!).
Somehow my mate's bro got some / all of it going together - a real patch work job to say the least as most of it was, well, junk destined for the bin after all. It never would have led to any chart-blowing singles, but with our 1 deck (no pitch control), some old records, this pile of crap, and a heap of weed, we pulled off some amusing sounds...... and even taped them. I'm sure it sounded hopelessly rotten, but it was fun and the oscilloscope was a stoner's dream to look at......
Anyway, I suppose that would have been my earliest foray into the world of music production, although it pretty much ended there as well.
