Any Musos on here?

[KidCynic]

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,

[Harbinger]

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.

[Bam Stroker]

Brilliant. I'll check these things out.

[jabsy]

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

I'm only half way through the first one Dan - it's awesome. Nice work man!

[rec]

That first track is seriously fucking cool. Why are you in politics?

Will listen to the other two a bit later, busy watching awful shit happen to Japan.

[OverDrive]

Sif make yourself depressed - join mumble and play tf2 - ala your post

[rec]

I'm the only one in the TF2 Mumble channel... perhaps I should join the GU Gaming night one.

as enticing as Pro Tools, we've figured that the best bang for buck is with Propellerhead's Reason 5 + Record

here's some of the stuff we've done so far (none of it has been mastered at all so it's all pretty much raw & they all sound different now)
