Make Your Own Music?
| 
Aug 30 00:46 UTC 1992 |
Anyone here like to make their own music? I find recordings boring.
I play brass, percussion and sing tenor.

I play the piano and harpsichord -- more the former, lately. From
a Beethoven winter I segued to a ragtime spring and summer and
have been discovering and learning numerous notable pieces from
obscure composers of the ragtime era, as well as brushing up on
the better-known creators such as Joplin, Scott, and Lamb.
(See another item for occasional musings about this.)

Contrabass, electric bass, and various synthetic computer compositional tools.

Just like the Language conference - all these people are way out of my
league... But I play guitar - mostly traditional, fairly good when I'm
in practice - & sometimes noodle around on other things, preferably
fretted, stringed things. (For listening, a lot of different things, but
baroque by preference.) I like making my own music better than listening to
most of the contemporary pop I hear around.

Anyone interested in performing together for fun? I'll be working on
a recording this year. That is, if I can put together something
presentable.

Maybe me. I very much doubt I'm up to what you'll be doing; I'd enjoy
having the opportunity to listen in, anyway.

Welll......
I'm really too esoteric.

Possibly what I should have said is that I'm not esoteric enough.

I play the piano, I sing soprano or mezzo-soprano, depending, I play
folk-style guitar, I used to play flute but really can't anymore,
I own a tenor saxophone but never learned to play it. I've also
had a couple of years of conducting classes.

I play piano, and am working on guitar. Right now, I'm practicing
Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and Zez Confrey (spelling?)'s "Kitten on
the Keys". (Well, not right now.) On the guitar, I'm working on
"The Boys of Blue Hill" and "Guitar Boogey Shuffle", both arranged
by Guy Van Dusen.
I am thinking about getting an /a capella/ group together, but that
probably won't come to fruition until early next year. Keep your eyes
pealed for audition announcements! ;)

Confrey's stuff is really nice, also reasonably difficult. I've
never really gotten into it, though I may some day.
I'm getting deeper and deeper into ragtime. Someday I may feel
inspired to enter more about this in my "ragtime notebook" item.

I'd be interesting in an acapella group; I sung in the Huron High
acapella choir for 2 years. That was fun.

I sing, in choir at church, and in the car. I used to play the violin
in grade school and Jr. High.

HA! That was a good one.
Well, with long hair, I suppose I'd be "interesting", no matter how
I sung. ;-)
I *meant* to say that it would be fun.... (boy, computer people.
they never take things as you mean 'em, only as they're typed....)

Yes. I once got a user to admit that what he didn't like about a system
was that it couldn't figure out what he meant - he wanted to say the same
thing and have it do different things, based on situations external to the
system.

Singing gets me into a lot of interesting situations. There is a neighbor down
the street who has heard me sing as I pass by. And when I pass by and I'm not
singing he asks: "How come I don't hear ya' singing, boy?" Singing is also
great for attracting mates. Just the other day I was talking with a young
Korean woman who just learning English. When I hummed a song she mentioned,
the expression on her face totally changed. She would have followed me
anywhere. Makes me thing of "the Pied Piper of Hamlin."

I play the violin, a little piano and sing tenor/baritone. I'm always
on the lookout for musical opportunities. Please keep
me in mind if the a capella group forms.

I'm a bassoon player... I'm into blues'n'stuff - it's so fun to just sit
and improv, playing around on the instrument....
It's also interesting to hear some cool heavy metal emanating from my
bassoon. Black Sabbath, anyone? :)
