I play guitar, piano and bass? recently got one and started building basic competency skills.
I've been playing for like 15 years, terrible still but that's what makes it fun for me.
I'm interested in recording things but just get too overwhelmed with thinking about using midi drums or synths, the fun part for me is playing over things not necessarily mixing and mastering them. It is something I'm overall interested in.
I've been in a bunch of bands. Recorded a couple shitty punk albums. More recently I have done solo music and recorded my own EP. Most recently, I've been considering busking for extra money.
*waves hello to fellow music nerds*
Anyway, here's 'Smoke on the Water' on a harpsichord
Bedroom guitarist/producer here. Love improvising on guitar, and composing songs which can be considered instrumental metal: Unimperfect
I still drum, so I'm at least someone who hangs out with musicians. I haven't played with others in like a decade though.
I'm a musician with dreams of opening a donations based label and covering a different genre every album. Currently releasing a mixtape where each song is a different genre.
Most recent release was on July 4th to protest all the horseshit going on in America: https://youtu.be/RsS5mFz-WgA
Also have a video explaining my dream a bit more here: https://youtu.be/1SROCLSPY9U
I have submitted to knives and scuba communities here even though they're small. Fortunately, I still get responses. So I urge you guys to post in your empty communities or create your own
I used to play saxophone, clarinet and flute for years, but then I moved to Australia and I didn't bring any of them with me. They're expensive here, too, so I can't bring myself to buy another..
Though now I have an Irish low whistle, I haven't had a chance to really get in to it because of changing jobs, moving houses, etc etc. The lack of buttons is challenging.
I admit, though, I have a longing to just get back in to a community band again just to be surrounded by music again.
So long as you don't mean professional musician, I guess I count. I'm a decent guitarist and a reasonably competent bassist (the skills are transferrable, but they are not the same if you want to do anything interesting on bass) who does a bit of blues, rock, and metal. I've done a little bit of music production, essentially just enough to put together recordings with programmed drums at home and have them not be completely awful. I'm also working, very slowly, on learning piano and would like to learn violin, but life has gotten in the way lately and made that difficult
Pro or no. I'm looking for people with the spark for music. It sounds like you are getting your feet wet as a generalist. Singing and lryicism is my main, but I dabble in the rest to pull together recordings of what's in my head. Nice to meet you. What communities would you like to see more active on Lemmy. And have you subbed to similar ones already?
You can count me in, both for stats and trying to join more music focused communities!
You've got my axe! 🎸
Not professional, and I haven't played in years, but I did play trumpet in band for about a decade!
Oh sick. Are you local to Melbourne by chance? I need some trumpet sometimes
I'm about as far away from Melbourne as possible, on Earth, in fact! Best of luck finding some trumpets, though.
I play the guitar, but mostly I just learn tricky songs and I try to play them. I would happily read about music though.
Man, I wish.
I can't sing. I can't play any instrument. I have no sense of timing (I can't always even clap along in time). If I ever do end up being part of a band it's going to be as their manager since I'm now too old to be a roadie. But I wish I could, I dunno, play guitar enough to jam or be a part of an totally average local band.
I make music and have released them on streaming platforms. I’m subscribed to most of the music, music production, and music genre communities in the fediverse.
I sing and play folk music on the guitar and early music on lute and recorder (my favorite size is the tenor).
I played the Kazoo for several years but I could never tune it properly.
@TotallyNotSpez@startrek.website thought you might be interested
I play the Penny Whistle!
Penny whistle gang unite. Go find a Lemmy community and follow it. Heck you could find the guitar community and take it over with their paltry numbers.
