Topic: Musical talent, what is yours ?

On the first incarnation of the boards I started a discussion to see who played what instruments be it analog or digital. So to bring the spirit of music once back to Oceanius let's share your talent.

I'll obviously go first;
* I started playing keyboard when I was young, and have pretty progressed since about 15 years ago, including several other keyed instruments.
* I often bash on everything that makes a low sound, like a table or doorframe, etc.. it helps me find rythms and discover new rythms to use in productions.
* Around 10 years ago I discovered the world of Tracking, which is where you put in notes in columns in a so called Tracker and assign sample's to them. Nowadays I'm comfortable using hybrid trackers which allow for sequencing and all sorts of experimental musical programs.

My digital experience includes working in: Ableton Live, Native Instruments Reaktor 5, Logic 8, Psycle, Impulse Tracker, Modplug Tracker and Scream Tracker. Next to these I love to mess around with experimental stuff like zTracker and CSound (a programming syntax for audio synthesis).
I'm also one of the few running the in development QPsycle on mac, and have written 2 Audio Unit's for myself which should see the daylight soon.

Now please share your story!

That's a nice selection of cultural instruments. I like the irish tinwhistle smile

Re: Musical talent, what is yours ?

yea, but i still not so experienced in this, it's Clarke's model, and it's not too easy to play fine using it, without unwanted swishes or gurgling on higher (C/C#) or lower (D) notes smile)
So, now i'm wasting time with my "Zephyr" harp instead of this tinwhistle smile)
