Alright strangers of das inzerwebber. Basically i wanna get started wiv making my own electronic music, but, and here's the rather substantial catch, i have no experience, ability, or, perhaps crucially, money, with which to pursue this goal.

Anyone got any tips for the budding music maker, any wicked software that is free and would be a good starting place etc...

I love The Knife, Boards of Canada, Avalanches, Dj Shadow, Familjen, Trentemoller, Ralph Myerz, Erlend Oye's Dj-Kicks and other such electroey goodness.

Help me out or my potential will remain forever untapped (probs a good thing really).
