Thread: Any Musos on here?

Hey guys,

just want to know if anyone on here makes music in their spare time.

I'm about to embark on an adventure with a mate as we get closer to releasing an aussie hiphop demo/EP and would love to know if there are any GU'ers on here who make any type of music at all.

Thanks,

at least one?

Indeed.

Play piano and do a bit of electronic stuff. Am wee out of practice on the piano though. :\

What software are you using?

A long time ago (like seriously, a looong time ago) I would spend hours and hours each night fucking around in Scream Tracker and later Impulse Tracker. Despite all the time I spent tooling around I only got 5 or 6 tracks to a "complete" state. As it happens I dug them up a few weeks ago and FRAPSed some Winamp visuals along with the music to upload and stick some on Youtube. I never did anything with them but now that this thread has cropped up I may as well post a few up.

Bear in mind these are like 10 years old, written on a program that was developed 15 years ago, derived from a technology from about 20 years ago for the Amiga.







Only recently have I decided to get back into it and spent some money on a new guitar, an audio interface for my PC and a controller and it'll probably be still be a few months before I'm writing music "seriously" again but I'm keen to. Part of the reason I bought that Commodore 64 recently is because I'm interested in chiptunes for the MOS6581 that lives inside it.

haha you used to throw some of these around as mp3s on #darwin didn't you, Bam?

also - Kernal is a muso - he rocks out with his sax out

I can fart the first bar of the Jaws theme...

Given the timeframe we're talking about here I'd say that's likely.

Why not grab yourself a Catweasel and whack that 6581 onboard? I have a couple here, I use one regularly, just not for SID stuff. They are great.

Brilliant. I'll check these things out.

Check this thing out too while you are there. Still in dev stage but on sale at about $A280. Initial reports have been encouraging.
