Furry musicians?
« on: July 02, 2010, 05:38:54 AM »
So here I am thinking to myself, there's a few sites on ye olde interweb that cater to musicians spaced few and far between, no? Why not make some tunes for the forum? There's got to be more than a handful of players on this forum!

Report back if you're interested! :)

i play...

i'm a saxophonist around the cambridge area, playing soprano and alto. i have my own chamber jazz ensemble which are in the process of recording, i play in umerous other ensembles knocking around cambridge and hopefuly i'm going to be playing either second or first alto in the cambridge university jazz orchestra next year. they fly everywhere and play man! it'll be a proper joy blowing with them.

i'm also a composer... almost exclusively algorithmic compositions through code. i havve composed and recorded a new piece which will be uploaded to my site anytime soon. www.joshdown.co.uk
The further on I go, all the less i know.

I wouldn't really call myself a musician or anything, but I do some remixes and the occasional original piece over at furaffinity: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/hokaze/
It's been a long time since I've played any instruments though but I used to play the descant recorder for about 4 years or so, I played Viola for a year (I was terrible), I took a short course on Taiko Drumming when this group came to my school to teach it in weekly sessions and we all performed in the city centre for our last session. I've been to a few concerts to play with the recorder and in secondary school I've done some very basic keyboard stuff in the compulsory music lessons you take for the first 3 years (once a week).
But yeah, all that was quite a while ago now and I was never really that good at music. I got stage fright when at concerts with the recorder and would mess up a lot, I just plain sucked with the Viola and never got the chance to continue it and although Taiko drumming with several others is awesome and really enjoyable, we only ever learned one piece (which I can still remember how to play). I've never studied music theory or anything either so...yeah...I suck >.<
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.

d'you ever play vibes felixfox? check out gary burton, he's the shiz. you're playing there though sounds pretty nice and co-ordinated.


and flames... i'l check your FA one day. learning an instrument will help with remixes and stuff, even if you never play the instrument live. if you still have your viola, give it a go again! just learn to play some simple-as melodies... you'll be amazed how much it helps.
The further on I go, all the less i know.

I've played vibes, xylo, marimba, and a lot of other instruments in the world of percussion as a matter of fact!

I've heard of Burton, I'm assuming he's the one who invented the Burton grip? Jazzy guy, he's really good.

i wouldn't know about the burton grip... i would imagine it's a style of playing? ... the gary burton album i've always been taught is 'the' album is "Like Minds"... has Pat Metheny and Chick Corea...

he did some cool, much less jazz based stuff with eberhard weber too.
