Title: Anyone out there who plays and/or sings?
Post by: Dalex on June 16, 2014, 03:57:18 PM
If there is a thread like this already here, I do apologize >.<

But I wanted to ask if there is anyone here who is willing to share what they like to do with music?

I personally sing and play both the Ukulele and Guitar, and I love it :) Music saved my life at one point, and music is still a huge part of mine so I decided a few months ago to buy a Ukulele, and then about two months ago I got myself a guitar.

So, here are some crappy recordings I have

Guitar: http://vocaroo.com/i/s15DSq9jiCZm

I think I also want to state, I'm still Pre T, so my voice has not dropped yet or anything like that. But, I wanted to share and see what everyone else does as well :)

I sing and play all types of drums. I have worked hard on my female singing voice, and although I no longer have a drum kit, I still play hand drums (mainly middle eastern) quite often.

I don't currently play any "real" musical instruments.  I used to play the piano when I was very young; nowadays I work exclusively with electronic music (my main tool is FL Studio).  I have put up a few releases over the last couple of years (I hesitate to call them all "albums" since some of them are much shorter than a typical LP-length album and are more just a collection of songs than anything cohesive).  Here is a link to my Bandcamp (http://volpan.bandcamp.com/) page if you're interested in hearing what I've put up so far.

I'm a bass player, but I haven't played much the last 10 years. But I have been writing midi music for about 20 years now. Mostly along the metal spectrum, with some dabbling in classical-ish stuff. And when I don't have enough inspiration to write my own songs I do metal remixes of pop songs, TV themes and NES music.

I play bass too! I started around seven years ago. I'm also learning to play the cello, but unfortunately my lessons have been put on hold because my teacher unexpectedly moved away ._.

I really love singing, just not around people.
I probably will sing more after I transition and my voice has the pitch that I imagine in my mind X) I look forward to singing a lot, actually.

I can rap song lyrics if that counts as singing.

I play the guitar, ocarina, harmonica, and violin. I also sometimes sing or rap if no one is around and I am in the mood for it. I am also going to start learning the Scottish snare drum again, and want start my violin lessons again now that I have found out exactly what I want to do with my musical stuff.

Anyways, so glad someone made this thread because I am really into music stuff(I even have a home studio type of thing now).

I can sing and throw drums down flights of stairs.  :D Pretty much the same sound if I actually attempted to play them.   :D Been there, done that.

I used to play keyboard when I was little and got back into it several months ago. I'm no expert by far but needless to say, I've improved since then. xD I would share some recordings but I have no clue how :P

Great thread!  I love music.  I used to play rhythm and  some lead in a metal band when I lived in Germany about a lifetime ago.  Think "Metallica meets a bluegrass band".

These days I love to play blues on my Hohner Special 20.  I'm a big Little Walter fan and play in that style mostly.

Played trumpet for 20 years, took a five year break, and now have a tenor sax I'm about to start learning.
I played trumpet in the gay band and gay swing band. I don't know what I'll end up doing with sax.

Sax friend ! :) i started to play sax last year. I had this idea swirling in my head for a couple of years, don't know why. I've got a nice alto sax and i was really surprised about how fast you can learn to play something that actually sounds good.

I've heard the trumpet is really hard to learn though.

Trumpet was hard to learn, but I've heard oboe is much more difficult.
I'm looking forward to starting sax lessons!

And so i discovered that Oboe was the english for 'hautbois' (french litterally 'highwood'), weird ! Yeap you're gonna have fun :D my second choice would be the clarinet, i really dig its sound.
