band idea: the lovechild of the mechanisms and bbc ghosts. Each band member is a musician from a different era and genre of music and the album consists of each member teaching the others their form of music.

Like the mechanisms every member can have a character to play (or ghostsona) and can dress up in gay little outfits.

You could have songs about each character, about events that occurred in their life with tunes "borrowed" from famous songs of that time.

This way you can have an album with many different genres to satisfy those of us who can't decide on their favourite.

I think if qsmp was a show, q!phil's leitmotif/theme would primarily be piano, when he, chayanne, fit, and ramone were having their epic moment at the difficult ship, I'm pretty sure the music that was in the bg contained piano and during tallulah and chayanne's temporary death, a somber piano song played Idk I know its a coincidence, you can't script those sorts of things, but like I think it would be cool if Q!phil had a piano leitmotif!!

i think im gonna buy myself a lyre ... a longtime dream coming true...

[rebrandedbard]

all of that seems headache-inducing, so to switch the subject from that, what's your favorite instrument and/or instrument type? (either to play or to hear)

Lol thanks nonny. I love stringed instruments best! They have such variety! Obviously my lute is #1 in my heart, piano next, then the lyre. My concertina is a lot of fun but I haven't begun learning anything for it yet. I might like to be able to play the harmonica better, but I can play all of Snufkin's songs (the green guy from Moomin) so I've never felt the need to learn anything else! I'm hoping to get a hurdy-gurdy sometime in the next few years. I also REALLY want a fancy kind of music box that allows me to move the pins. I collect music boxes and would love to be able to make my own music on one.

For anyone curious, here are the instruments I own in order of how much I like them. Not necessarily ordered by playing ability:

Lute. Galanthus, mine beloved 💖

Piano (mom took it in the divorce 💔)

Lyre, Orpheus knew what was UP

Violin

Concertina

Guitar (acoustic and electric, so two technically)

Harmonica (normal one and 40 note one with a switch)

Recorder, wooden

A tiny kalimba which I cannot for the life of me figure out

And for the SILLY ones:

A teeny tiny key-chain harmonica

A slide whistle!

I used to have a pan flute but it died tragically after getting lost in the woods. I never did find the remains. But I don't really mourn the loss as it sounded nothing like when Peter Pan plays.

The directors: “So you’re a musician?”

Donovan: “Yeah.”

The directors: “What do you play?”

Donovan: “Six-stringed guitar.”

The directors: “What about the recorder?”

Donovan: “Nope. You’ll have to overdub me.”

The directors: “Wonderful! You’re hired for the role of the Pied Piper!”
