Since this is a site about music, I am kinda surprised this wasn’t made earlier. But essentially, this is a thread where anyone who’s a musician on these boards can share their music for everyone else to listen to!

 

So what all musicians do we have here? It doesn’t have to be real instruments either, any electronic musicians can also share their work here, too! Is anyone in a band, or a solo artists? What all have you released, and what do you have planned for the future? Post whatever you want about your music, and who knows, maybe you’ll get a few new fans from these boards!

Of course, being an electronic musician who has a few songs on Rock Band already, I may as well share my stuff.

 

I started off as a chiptune artist essentially making songs that would be hard to play in Rock Band, which would be my first album. With my second album, I decided to diversify myself a bit; I added a lot of prog rock elements in my tunes, with more time signature experimentation and longer songs, as well as just generally experimenting a bit. In the future, I plan on using a lot of different VSTs as opposed to strictly chiptune ones, as well as experimenting with a lot more genres of music; though I still want to keep at least a little chiptune in there.

 

You can download all of my music for free here. You can also check out another project I’m in, Llort, which is an experimental/electronic/comedy metal project I’m in with NightmareLyra. We write silly songs, and currently have a Christmas EP which you can download on the above link.

 

I also just released

, the theme to the film “Requiem for a Dream.” This shows a bit of my experimenting with genres and such, including hip-hop, classical, ska and of course, chiptune.

I am a musician who specialized in Electronic/Symphonic/Progressive/Experimental Metal as well as playing a lot of other different genres from time to time. I started off writing terrible guitar jam pieces with too much distortion before I learned how to play guitar, but decided to start from scratch under this new name and a new style later on, essentially evolving as a musician from there on out.

 

A running theme in my songs is the use of Ukulele, though instead of using it as a novelty I use it’s clear and somewhat melancholic tone to create lead guitar lines for my songs or to add something to spice up a piano piece.

 

You can check out my songs here if you want to: https://nightmarelyre.bandcamp.com/

I also sometimes create mashups, like this one I did for Halloween:

 

Also I have a number of my songs available as customs through C3, as well as the lead single “Deception” out of my first album “Elements of Suffering” available on RBN for Xbox 360 for 80 points for anybody who might be interested

Under the name Derpsorta, I am a member of the shitcore group Audio Landfill Records.

Basically we just take existing songs and alter them to make them unlistenable. It is lazy as hell but we have a lot of fun doing it.

 

I would link to the page but one of the album covers from another “artist” in the group is kinda NSFW.

I make electronica and hip hop mostly. Working with a singer friend to put out an EP somewhere between Lorde and Purity Ring. Just made this track and over the moon with how it turned out too;

Not me, but a close friend of mind who got into making EDM music. He usually DJ’s random spots on some internet music live radios, but this is the stuff just his. I’m not huge into EDM stuff, but I’m sure some people here are.

I haven’t played any sort of music since the mid-’90s, but I am the co-owner and founder of http://www.dmbalmanac.com. It’s a concert setlist database for Dave Matthews Band that tracks songs, venues, setlists, show posters. It’s pretty geeky and in depth.

I’m gonna be the first old fashioned rock musician in the thread. My main instrument is the keyboards but I also play bass and drums well enough for basic jam sessions. I’ve played in quite a few bands during the years and the main goal has always been to get together with some others to make and play music, because there really isn’t anything like it. Here are a few things I’m least embarrassed about.

 

My first song I ever recorded with a guitar playing friend. I also tried to record drums in the school music class but it turned out that a single mic recording by a first timer without a metronome wasn’t a good base for a song so they got replaced by midi. The song has never been named but I like to call it “Summoning Rip-off” http://www.mediafire.com/listen/0f2cqfn … Kaarne.mp3

 

The tragedy of my music career is that I’ve never learned to play either drums or bass well enough to play thrash metal, which I love. Even more tragically, I’ve never managed to convince anyone else that having a rhythm keyboardist in a thrash band would be a great idea. At least I got to use a piano to write the chorus and middle parts of this song, while hanging around with some old schoolmates as well as played the massively expansive actual keyboard part in studio.

 

By far my favorite of my bands was Ekstrapyramidaalijärjestelmä, a project with four other musicians, who were “techically bored” in their main bands. The idea was to make stuff thats as fun and challenging to play as possible and not really worry how it sounded (so naturally this is prog rock) and explicitly not try to record or publish anything to keep the compositional pressure to miminum. Fortunately though a certain club in Helsinki had a policy of recording every band that played in there, so I have this (and a few other songs) to remember, now that we’re long broken up. Ekstrapyramidaalijärjestelmä – Santana Saapuu Moskovaan. If you listen until the very end, you can confirm a certain RB1 loading screen fact with your own ears! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

 

The last real band I played in was a local metal band by the name of Vuolla. I participated in writing one ep and played a few gigs with them. The ep can be listened in it’s entirety

and the songs, where I most worked on are conveniently the two first ones. The band still exists but I’m not a part of it anymore for various reasons.

 

Unfortunately recently I’ve noticed that most of my peers are getting too old, which causes them to have families and other things distracting them from forming bands left and right, so I have gone right back where I started:
