Instruments and Music

Less Than jake · 01-20-2005, 07:52 PM

I was wondering if anyone played an instrument here, I'm a crazy music person. Also if you play an instrument post a song that you made or know. Heres the begining for Madness'es "One Step Beyond" on Bb Tenor sax (which I play) and Bb Clarinet, it might also be for trumpets but i'm not sure.

I play trombone for my school band. It's not very cool, but we do play some nice songs at the football and basketball games.

I'm a self taught guitarist, which means I can't read music.

I'm much better with vocals though, and I've written a few songs, heres one called mushroom girl

not funny on demand
its painful but its true
another lover canned
for not believing you

it must be great
the way you live
your awkward state
such take and give

and give...
nothing! nothing!
quit living in a fantasy, reality is waiting!
hot with jealous eyes

I'm love's carpet knight
never fought the field
sure I'll do alright
with sword enough to wield

but lets try honesty
instead of dirty rhyme
your feigning modesty
destroying angel you can't hide

you can't hide...
anything! anything!
quit living in a fantasy, reality is freying!
make believe genocide!

kiss me on the lips
though I don't think you'd dare
shake a little hip
maybe let down your hair

keep yourself locked away
from all this hateful romance
save the light for other days
Mushroom Girl how 'bout a slow dance?

there's no chance?
everything! everything!
quit living in a fantasy, reality is leaving!
no more cheap white lies, 'cause mushrooms don't have eyes...

to cry

just a happy little diddy

Let's see instruments that I play. Ok I play the Baritone/Euphonium, Trombone, bass trombone, alto trombone, valve trombone, sakbut, Tuba, contra C tuba, F tuba, Sousaphone, Trumpet, a little piano, and recorder. But I'm mainly a vocalist singing Tenor, Alto, and Soprano and I've never written anything for a solo instrument only solo voice, and instrumental combos, so unless I post the midi (which I did one in another thread) it would be difficult to post my music.

Nine years of violin. I kinda stopped after high school, as I'm not exactly good enough to play on my own or audition into a symphony. I miss it though.
Now I'm pretty much only a classical guitar guy. Self taught at first, then actual classes my senior year. Now I'm back to self-teaching.

I play flute and piccolo for my high school

It's so much fun ^^
except our marching band is still very small (it used to be 1A and last season it was 5 people over, which made us a shit small 2A)

That wasn't really what made our band suck though... our brass is horrible and they don't care *sigh*

wow... it's good to know that we aren't the only high school that has to play pep tunes at basketball games... We used to only play for football games but starting tuesday we are attending basketball games as well.

Hey if anyone else is in their high school wind ensemble (symphonic band or whatever it's called at your school) could you guys tell me what music you might be performing? Sorry, but my band geekness has made me curious what everyone is playing for their concert band lol
(woodwinds love Bach!) :bmage:

Played violin for nine years, going on ten. The best stuff I've played so far have been the soundtrack to LoTR, and the entire Messiah score...which I played every year for four straight years.

Actually, I'm in the market for Messiah sheet music if anyone can get me some. Amazon.com is perpetually sold out and no one's parting with their copies on eBay.

CHICAGO�lollie · 01-21-2005, 05:44 AM

Digital composition over here. I can read a bit of sheet music though, and I'd love to be able to play a Rhodes Piano. XD

EDIT: Lemme just clarify that "digital" does not instantly mean "techno". I know that Mr. Wind-Up is gone -- HOORAH! I mean, er, *ahem* -- so I really shouldn't have to bother, but, y`know, lettin' you folk know.

For, like, the 3rd time now.

Ahoy.

Funka Genocide · 01-21-2005, 06:08 AM

ahoy Chicago! didn't you do some kind of remix for that daft punk song. I think it was called work it or something.

I listened to that a long time ago, when I followed the link to your webpage, it like so totally rocked!

I was on the verge of learning how to digitize my tunes, but then my computer exploded. This was of course over a year ago,and I am too lazy to get a new one. But, yeah...

ahoy!
