    Default Musicians and Songwriters

    I know there's been a thread about musicians before, but I'm curious to know if any of you musical type people out there are budding songwriters.

    For example, do you play in a band, or write your own stuff?

    What are your biggest influences, and what style of music do you play?

    Would you care to share any of your past material?



    Personally, I don't play in a band at the moment, sort of in between projects. I play in the style of Technical / Melodic death metal, with occasional influences from European symphonic and power metal varieties. Main influences would be;
    Norther
    Amoral
    Amorphis
    Sonata Arctica
    And Pain Confessor.

    I am the deadly stalker, I am the Midnight Walker
    In the mornings I like my metal black, just like my coffee

    I am in no band but I write some music. Never have paper around though so I constantly forget everything. Usually the music is more orchestral or a capella.

    I'm in love with the Tenor sax! Had mine stolen many years ago and have never been able to afford a new one

    My brothers are all in bands. My one brother is in a band with three friends (Garner), he has his masters in coral conducting, music is his life.

    My other brothers are in a band called McKenna, just the two of them (and hired drums, sax, base, etc) and have been doing it for ten years.

    I love music, but I'm a bit of a dud myself. Thankfully I'm not tone deaf or anything, but I'm nothing special like them. *Proud sis smile*

    Compliments of the wonderful Warsimi!

    I play the Tenor and Alto sax... Well, seems like everybody who plays the clarinet does.

    I'm a drummer, and more into Metal than anything else, but never really got into the whole joining a band thing. I just like to mess around with a kit at times. One of my brothers is in a band called The Seeress Prophecy. They were pretty big in the local Metal scene in Cleveland a while back, but broke up in '06, but they're coming back now. First show back was a couple weeks ago, opening for Darkest Hour. For those of you that are into Metal, check 'em out sometime. They kind of Prog-influenced Melodic Death Metal.
