Musician/studio maggots?
Reposted from Padded Room since I forgot we have a music forum...thanks Ötzi.
Since our cross-section is broad, and we align on many things in life, I went looking for a thread on musician maggots. I found a guitar show-and-tell thread and that's about it. If we already have a look-at-me thread for music, point me to it!
I've been into writing/recording/playing live since I was in high school 30+ years ago. Nowadays I mostly collect gear and hang onto it for decades like a poser but in the last couple years I've rekindled my love for making music, for a specific purpose: video/film scoring for the bush flying short films I was making before kids and covid. That segued into an obsession with synthesizers but also an ever-present love affair with guitars. I always wanted to be Hans Zimmer or Clinton Shorter or Robert Del Naja or Clint Mansell but lack the talent.
I will return to edit this and spam you samples and gear slut pics if anyone takes the bait and hangs their dong out too.
Edit: ok i'll just hang my dong out and be vulnerable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P4NuNXqv54 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOQhUQhtcZI and of course I keep a Soundcloud profile.
There's no real purpose to this other than to share the stoke with other mags. Ideally maybe collab if anyone else is making quality films that need music,Last edited by bio-smear; 01-31-2022 at 04:12 PM.

I'll bite. I used to release experimental/ambient/soundscape stuff under a few aliases, mainly SunDummy, from 1995 until around 2006.
Here's my Youtube channel:

I've also got a ton of very heavy improv guitar releases (think Mainliner, Skullflower, etc.) that may eventually get put on Youtube.
I haven't recorded anything new in a few years, and sold all my studio gear (mixers, synths, effects, etc) a decade ago. Now I mostly just fiddle around with acoustic guitars for fun.
Some days I think of setting up another studio, but I'm too lazy to bother these days.

Checking in to this thread.
Made this years ago with a $5 CD of sound bites.
Hope you enjoy

I’m intrigued by modern software; I might have to get back into it. The minimalist in me sees the advantages…
Here’s the last thing I created, made entirely in Acid:

Been diving in a little more...pretty badass. I'm hearing hits of Cold Cut, Prodigy, Orbital, the odd DnB with early ambient styles. Edit...put on some Cold Cut then yours and forgot it wasn't Cold Cut!
I was in this band in late high school and college called Manifest Vision. Never really settled into a genre, was all pickings of old school new wave, industrial, and breakbeat trip hop of the 90s. But rooted firmly in emo lyrics about my bad girlfriends.

Samples from a freeware site I stumbled onto, some of them combined to make weirder versions. Kinda a fun exercise!

Gearslut time. I know this is some shameless "look at me" but also hoping others will share their kits. Before covid and before I sold my house, I was getting a nice bedroom setup going. No skiing. No flying. Kids coming all out of our asses. I had to channel my juices into something, which is partly why my interest in music was rekindled after like 15 years of not touching an instrument.
Then we packed it all in boxes and moved in with my inlaws but I was addicted to buying gear so i managed to start building a little setup around my desk again. Soon it will be time to combine it all like Voltron. BTW an iPad is about the best value for a synthesizer there is.
Added a Roland System-1m as maybe dipping a toe into modular synths, mostly just CV. Kinda underwhelming.
Addiction in full swing I decided to indulge on something I've always wanted since I was a teenager: a nice hollowbody. Like to swing differently than the masses and I have a thing for Japanese guitars so instead of a Gibson I went vintage Yamaha. 1971 SA-50 from Mike and Mike's out of Seattle. It was magic at first mediocre lick from yours truly, but inspired me to channel Robert Smith and lay down this track named for the moment when i was in the throws of mortgage refinancing. The original hardcase from '71 was stank though. I had to give it a shampooing.

Dude. Eddie would go...down to Guitar Center and buy that new Gretsch.
You may or may not want a new Gretsch. The new ones are decent enough players but they are a shadow of their former quality. Very affordable though. Old Gretches on the other hand, they are something else.
I've had my finger on the trigger of a Reverend Airsonic way too many times.

Sweet setups. I use a Roland Keyboard & Logic DAW. I play Sax and need to get a good microphone as it's hard to get a good sample. I love to make music and a whole weekend feels like a few hours. Then life gets busy and I don't play for months
