The Playing Project

[Brttrx]

I can do editing, and am willing to help run the project. I wanna make sure we get it done this time.

I might make a few more tracks for this.

I hate the orchastra or whatever, I sing though, been doing it for the past two years, been writing songs for the past 5.

I will help, just pm me.

I cannot play any of the previously listed instruments. I beatbox as a hobby (although I think my skill level is relatively low) and as well as manualism (hand-farting). But I don't think these are the approproate "instruments" for your orchestra.

You'd be suprised what I could put together. I say you give it a shot anyway!

Seeming as everyone else has stated their standards here, I suppose I should too :P

Oboe - Grade 5, taking grade 6 in about a month
Piano - Grade 6, taking grade 7 sometime next year. However, I think I play at a higher standard than my grade. Definitely my strongest instrument, if that's any help.
Guitar - I got my guitar two and a half years ago, but I only properly started properly playing this year (and maybe a bit last year). I have lessons, but I only started them two months or so ago. However I will play riffs or stuff if needed :)

@cheesemonger, grade 7 tuba? Nice job, man.

I'm glad this is starting up again, since I will have loads of free time next semester to spend on other things like this.

Anyways, I play the violin and viola pretty well, and I'm a fairly decent sight-reader. I started off on violin 12 or so years ago, and switched to viola 4-5 years ago after my high school orchestra director realized we had a terrible viola section. Of course, that's when I realized violas sounded better than violins. I still have both instruments though.

This is why the viola beats the crap out of any existing violin/violinist

I have been playing for 4 years and I'm crap.
There's alot of guitars and pianos here.

I'm in New York and away from the internet/composition software until Jun. 28 - I'll try to get working as quickly as possible on my symphony after that.

Woo Metaband... :D (:O)

I started playing acoustic guitar, (WITH MY FUCKING MIND ON A FUCKING ELECTRO-BASS) in the middle of January of this year. I'll make a sample of what I can do (minimal stuff, mostly with chords).


I can play the recorder "quite well". I can improvise with it and I have a little bit of that capacity some have that is to hear a song and then "transport" it to the recorder, with no other helps (I am aware that this huge amount of words weren't necessary for this :/). Like, I LOVE TO PLAY MUTE CITY FROM CAPTAIN FALCON ON IT.


I'm going to a music school this year (dunno how can I enter it and if I can enter it with my age, I should have entered, like, 5 years ago according to them) and I want to learn how to play bass. Dunno if it'll be possible, as I still don't have a bass. If not, I'll learn how to play guitar firstly, and then go TO THE BASS TO PLAY TUXEDOMOOOOOON.


Someday I'll post samples of both!

'Kay, well, I had a brief idea. I wrote a piece around two years ago now, called Jazz It Up. Reasonably catchy, and it occurred to me that we'd actually have all the people necessary to play it.

I'd like to make it most clear that I don't want this to be only about users' music (least of all mine), however it would be cool if we could record a few peices by users.

The video is here. If you guys playing Trumpet, French Horn, Tuba and Drums think it would be fun to play, please send a PM or something and I'll get the music out as soon as I fix my computer.

I've been playing guitar for about seven months. Not that good at improv, but I might be useful at rhythm. If I somehow get into this, I'd like to be doing something along the lines of hard rock/blues rock kinda stuff.

[esay]

I can edit, quite good at that.
Also, kablamo and I might be able to submit some remixes etc if you want. We haven't started yet; does it need to be in by a certain time?

Oh, no. I was picturing this as being an ongoing project, so there'll be no real start or end, just little projects along the way.
If you want to do some remixes, go ahead. Just make sure you update here once you're done.

Hey,

Firstly, if all of you guys could get in on the new forums, that would be great. I know I haven't been around anywhere near as much as I should have, but my computer's broken and I haven't been able to get online half as much as normal.

Secondly, I thought I might try and kick-start this project with some of my own music, so I was wondering if any violinists and pianists would be interested in playing an old piece that I wrote for George. A synth mp3 can be found here - I'm fairly sure that I never uploaded the violin and piano version, but the sheet music is identical.
Alternatively, there was also a really simple Saxophone (and Piano) piece that I wrote for TB007 (unfortunately I don't have it uploaded, but can do so on request), so some of you guys might be interested in playing that.

That's about all from me now. If you're interested in playing either of those two pieces then please reply here or chuck me a PM.

Thanks,

Lenny
