Made in FL Studio:



VSTs used:

DVS Guitar
FPC
Dulcimator
Adonis
Sakura

Anyway, I'm currently at school to be an audio engineer. I don't play any instrument very well at all, but I like creating music anyway. I'm currently in the midst of getting some songs together so I can put something up on bandcamp -- and if I'm really lucky -- make some gas money to take the edge off bleeding money to go to school.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46645289/sepulcher.mp3 Arranged in PowerTab, sequenced through FL9. Originally much more orchestral but I couldn't find instruments that did it justice there so I went with bells instead.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46645289/title.mp3 Loop for the title of a game I abandoned making. Again, FL9.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46645289/Earthsage2.mp3 Loop for the title-screen of Earthsage, should I ever finish it. Made in some weird sequencer in Ubuntu that I'm forgetting the name of. I'll go back to it when I need more with the same pretty record-player noise effect.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46645289/Eagleon%20-%20Fringe%202.mp3 Made when I was contemplating starting a weird asteroid-mining/SS13 hybrid that I don't have the skills to make yet.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46645289/Eagleon%20-%20bitSet.mp3 I wanted to mess around with ducking around a thumpy bass background. This is the horror that resulted.

Yeah, 90% of the music I make comes from me procrastinating while coding :P Sue me.

Quite cool. "Still Alive" works surprisingly well like that, it seems.

 I used to play the euphonium back in high school days. I recently dug the thing out and gave it a go. The resulting sound was not pretty. If you enjoy playing an instrument, keep at it, is I guess the lesson there.
Thanks! Unfortunately my baritone is borrowed from my school, so unless I find the thousand dollars or so it would cost for a new one, I'm pretty screwed on that.  :-\

I'm currently working on arranging The Village of Dwarves for a baritone, flute, trombone, and trumpet quartet. Baritone makes a surprisingly good replacement for a bass.

*raises hand* I play guitar. Not too fancily, and I haven't had much practice for a while, but still!
Had a couple of drum lessons too, but I don't own a kit.

I'm a rusty but experienced Saxophonist, with close to 10 years of music under my belt, though I've not been playing regularly in the last few years. My most experience is in chamber, symphonic, and jazz performance, though I've dabbled in many genres. I used to teach lessons for new musicians, and once had the honor of playing on stage at Carnegie Hall (many years ago), and studied under a student of one of the greatest living saxophonists.

I play around with electronic music composition, but I'm not very good at it. One of these days, I'd like to learn Guitar and Bass, and perhaps Fiddle.

I've been learning to play the piano on my own for a little over a year now, off and on. I'm okay, but I haven't done much past playing scales and chords expertly, though I'm getting somewhere. I can read sheet music for the most part, and I like being lazy and converting it to FL Studio things out of boredom. I'd also like to learn to play cello as well, 'cause they are awesome.

I used to sing in a band called Pitfall, recorded a few of our songs quite a few years back, 2008 I think. Here's a song called Since you disappeared and here's Contra Alibi.
I also do stuff on my own, I've played the piano since I was 4, but stopped playing it in 2008, I've been picking it up lately again, also been playing guitar for some time now. Dabbled a bit into electronic music, nothing too serious.

Here's some of the stuff I've recorded: An ambient piece called Soundscapes
An "indieish" song called To a child dancing in the wind, borrowed the lyrics from W. B. Yeats.
And finally a crappy take of (or on) Here comes the sun

I'm an intermediate to advanced classical percussionist, (about 6 years of fairly intense instruction) and I sing in a choir, an acapella group, and sundry musicals for about 3 hours a day, so I am getting better at that very fast though I've only been doing that for about 4 years. I also (sorta) play piano, which I took years of lessons for when I was too young to really get it and then stopped at about age 12. Recently, I've picked up a hobby of composing music digitally, which I am seriously enjoying.

I play everything I can get my hands on.
Mostly the piano but a bit the guitar, the bass, the drums, the harmonica...

Also, I had my Bard's Guild-thread opened some time ago, in relation something something. Ah well.

Drummer here, been playing for a few years. I actually wrote a song and recorded it, despite the fact that I don't really sing or play guitar, etc. It's on the link below:

I'm getting together with a band called Overboard, and we're just writing our first few songs at the moment. We'll be ready to release an EP soon.
