The Music Topic

[Lily]

90% of music I listen to is in a foreign language.

This is one of my new favorites:

Haha, me too. I love Japanese musicals.

Ah, Eurovision. I haven't watched a full show in a while but it's always fun!

[Tiria Wildlough]

Yay, music! I'm a big fan of electric music in general (I think you guys all know I love Lindsey Stirling). But I mostly like anything that's catchy and awesome.

It's cool knowing several people online who do their own music.   
This is what I'm listening to at the moment: the admin on the other forum I moderate, who has written a couple songs of his own.  http://www.stevenkylemusic.com/  My favorites are "Dishes @ 10" (which he sang during a Skype party this summer and it was really cool), and "1C13", which is a nice romantic song and his voice sounds really cool in it.

I like writing my own songs, but I have trouble finishing them. Oh, well. I plan to study music later on in school.

[Veil Sixclaw]

Music, is one of my favourite things!
I have a keyboard, currently learning to play about 4 different songs on it... I can play recorder, although I've lost it..

I likes.. MCR, Green Day and Mayday parade....

naima, I like the way the "ensemble" in supernova keeps changing throughout the whole thing. There's a ton of different textures, and it's fun to listen to. And there's this cool sort of... metal-staircase percussion sound reverberating in the background of your piece around the beginning. What were you doing there?

sorry i've been forever replying... been crazy busy recently;

from my memory, they were a bunch of different hi-hat samples run through a distortion effects unit and maybe a compressor too. it's just something to keep the 16-feel going the whole way and to keep it sounding frantic and a little bit un-hinged.

My computer runs Windows 7:Home Premium.

the best all around sequencing software i know of for windows is cubase. i used to use it a bit here and there, but i can be a bit clunky. i've heard great things about ableton in the past, but that's -really- expensive. aside from that i know absolutely nothing.

I checked both of those production software programs...they were really expensive. Do you know of any cheaper music-making software for Windows 7?

Do you, naima?

oh sorry! ... thanks for giving me a poke about that, must have missed it;

i've been told this is pretty good. i've never used it myself so i couldn't tell you, but from what i know it runs in a very similar way to cubase and is only $60. they have a free month-long downloadable trial so it can't hurt to try.

I like the grunge movement

nirvana

pearl jam

sonic youth

dinosaur jr and so on

[Rusvul]

Steampunk! Woo!

Abney Park is awesome.

Steam Powered Giraffe is funny and cool.

Clockwork Quartet is creepy, and intriguing.

Death of the Cog is definitely worth listening to.


Generally, Steampunk music is just good.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Steampunk music kinda creeps me out...

[Rusvul]

With some of it, that's exactly the point. Most of Abney Park's songs are shantyish, those are mostly not creepy.

[Tiria Wildlough]

But I don't wanna be creeped out...

[brookeloveslotr]

I like Christian, music from the past, and even music from today. I admit that I like pop music: Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. I don't like dirty pop: music about sex, cussing and drugs, although I do love pop that's fun but still clean.

[Iamthatis]

I'm listening to Brantley Gilbert Halfway to Heaven album I come from the country so that why most of what I listen to is country it takes me back.
