I've been looking for a club exactly like this!
Username: Kiruria
What instruments you play?: I play the keyboard a little, but I'm not really that great at it. Actually, I'd say I'm more unconventional, as I don't play it like a piano - I don't use the proper hand positions, and mainly rely on playing simple melodies. I have an ocarina as well (the kind with four holes arranged in a square), but I'm not very good at playing it. My favourite musical instrument overall is the pipe organ in terms of sound, but I don't think I'd ever play it, as I hear it's quite difficult to learn.
Why are you joining the club?: I love writing songs (and singing them) and composing music for them. My music is all electronic - I used to record stuff with a keyboard a lot, but nowadays I have switched mostly to electronic music software (currently I'm using a somewhat old version of Acid Pro). It doesn't fall into one specific genre; rather, I diversify into a few distinct genres - some of my songs are more like generic techno, some are more new age-ish, and others have an almost folk-like note to them. A lot of my songs are on spiritual topics or about the dark side of life; for the latter category, I can almost classify those songs as belonging to a genre called "gothic electronica". (I eventually plan on devoting an entire album to that genre.) I also have a few songs corresponding to stories I plan on writing - usually about a character or group or world I created.
In terms of music I did not compose, my music tastes fall into three distinct categories: new age/folk (especially Celtic and medieval-era music), techno/dance pop (especially Eurobeat and bubblegum dance), and metal (mainly symphonic, gothic, and power metal). I have a small appreciation for classical music and classic rock-n-roll as well, in addition to video game music.
Would you be willing to collaborate?: Maybe... if someone wants to do a recording of them playing some instrument, I can probably provide electronic accompaniment to it, for example. I also do my own mixing and (not very professional) mastering of songs - unfortunately, real life has gotten the way of me putting any albums out so far.
My music artist name is Suminda, corresponding to an all-encompassing name of my creative projects. In fact, I'll start off by including a couple of examples of the songs I compose:
Walking - This will be the first song on my first album, one of my more metaphysical songs and a bit folk-like in nature.
Every Day Is Halloween - An upbeat techno-y song that will (strangely) go on my gothic electronica album.
