Any musicians/composers here?

edited January 2016 in General Chat

I thought I'd open a thread where all composers could post their music and talk about it with the others.

  • Really nice. I love the piano, although I'm not particularly good at playing it myself.

    I have composed a few things myself, for various video game projects over the years. It's mostly electronic music, and pretty experimental: https://jennifermcmurray.bandcamp.com/

    Those are actually really nice! Which program did you use to emulate those sounds?

    Thanks. :) For those, I actually used a combination of Mario Paint Composer with a custom soundfont, Audacity (for some sounds, not many though - just one or two, that were captured from real instruments), and Garage Band.

  • I'm a somewhat okay musician, and have played the piano, tenor saxophone, acoustic guitar, and harmonica for a number of years. Pretty soon I'm playing in an acoustic concert at my school! I did it last year, and it was fun, but I still got the nerves!

    Also, you never mentioned what you play!

  • I used to play the piano, had experiences with drums and guitar. I sing, though.

  • Hey HiggsBoson2142 what is your favorite genre of music?

  • I like to listen to a lot of things, but if you were to consult my iTunes account it'd be rock in general, probably soft rock the most. But I do enjoy easy listening, folk, and older country just as much! The band Jungle, who did the intro song for Zer0 Sum has gotten me into electronic a little bit, though!

    Wow, you play a lot of instruments! I personally play the piano, the saxophone and the ukulele. I have just updated the thread by posting the link to my soundcloud account, where you can find some of my compositions :)

  • Hey, another saxophone player! Wonderful! Any specific tunes you like to play? I've gotten a little rusty over the years on mine, but I still play the theme from Up (My personal favorite song to play) from time to time.

  • That's a pretty tough question, but I think I'd go with Episode 2, with Episode 4 RIGHT behind it!

    Sweet. What was your favorite intro?

  • Yeah. Muscly I would probably go with episode 5 then 4 then 2 then 3 then 1.
    I play the alto saxophone in band, I'm not particularly good because this is my second year, but I want to keep on rolling!I want to go on to the tenor!

  • Yeah. Musically I would probably go with episode then 4 then 2 then 3 then 1.

    Below you can see basically the same comment. I accidentally to the discussion, but I meant to reply to you.

    I used to play piano when I was younger, and I have somewhat recently started to play again now and then when I have time for it. I don't really practice all that much, but I'm actually quite a bit better than I was back when I actively took lessons, though I'm still not very good (around intermediate level). Either way, it's pretty entertaining.

  • I love the saxophone! As for the Borderlands musical intros, my favourite one was the 2nd, followed by the 4th and the 1st.

  • I love the sound of a growl!

  • My favorite intro was episode 5, then I would have to say episode 2 because it was so cool!I think they all were good. Next I would pick 4, 3, 1 they all were awesome. The intros would just get you in the mood!

  • I play trumpet and guitar. I've played Kiss the Sky from TFTB on my trumpet.

  • Speaking of saxophones, happy birthday to Adolphe Sax!

    I've been doing mostly video game remixes, but I've uploaded three original compositions to my channel. One's a hip-hop theme, one's a halloween/blues jingle, and the last is a celtic style orchestra.

    Here's the link to my channel if you'd like to check it out.
