What

There's no "musicians" on this board.

>What instruments do you play?
Piano, Drums, Guitar, saying 30 different keyboards doesn't really count, just getting this one out of the way when somebody starts listing off a bunch of keyboards or says they play synth.

>What music do you create?
You mean what genre? Idk, I'd probably kill myself if I had to make music according to genres.

>What method do you use to create music as a group? What works about it/ what does not?
Usually somebody comes up with a couple of chord progressions, then the bassist will either mimic the melody or do the usual root-third-fifth type stuff, being on keys, I usually do something percussive with the chords, or play a counter-melody. It works pretty well, you just have to know your shit.

I'm a classically trained musician with ten years of singing in professional church choirs and a university graduate diploma in piano performance. I also play violin to a high level and guitar.
I'm currently in a band that just plays covers of any old thing (we've done Weezer, a-ha, Ben Howard... literally anything!) but my dream is to form a band like mid-era AnCo except with even more of an emphasis on both irregular rhythm, vocal harmony and other stuff which really appeals to me.
For the moment, I have released a home-fashioned solo EP on Bandcamp which I'm pretty pleased with. It's folk/math rock/ambient/glitch/whatever. You can find it on Bandcamp threads occasionally if you're interested.

>I was wondering if you all wouldn't mind starting one.

Of course we mind, go home

If I play like guitar and bass, should I just start making some music with my shit ty mic in audacity before I get stuff like samplers or synths?

I've played piano for 11 years but I'm probably only as good as a student who's played for like 3 years because I never practice lmao

Say it Ain't So by Weezer is a good one to practice starting as a band, so is Are You Gonna be my Girl if your singer is good.

I've been playing guitar for 9 years 4 hours a day and never been in a band.

Fuck man, do you play live?

>>63880362
These are staples I use when I'm working with new bands:

Captain Fantasy - Ween
Du Hast - Rammstein
Hey - Pixies (really killer if you have a decent bassist)
Mother Freedom - Bread
Uprising - Muse
War Pigs - Black Sabbath
North American Scum - LCD Soundsystem

I've never played live either

I have been playing as a proffesional musician for 8 years, and just playing for 18. Now I'm thinking about to quit.

>What instruments do you play?
Really good at piano/hammond (is not the same technique) but I can play guitar, harmonica (just easy chords and dumb solos but enought to impress plebs) Learning sax.

>What music do you create?
Many, mostly jazz, rock, funk and fusion, but I composed many other genres, pop, reggue, soul, hip hop, blues, classical, new age, ska.


>What method do you use to create music as a group? What works about it/ what does not?
One member of the band comes with some ideas, melodies, harmonies, rithms, and we build together.

When i'm composing by my one I use to imagine things or improvise on an instrument and save what I like, then I develop it.

One good technique I use is to leave the compositions recorded or writed for a time and then I listen to it again, sometimes I realised that are shit, sometimes I like and I came with better ideas to work on it after a time.
