[Answer options in order are:
1. Yes, guitar, mandolin
2. Yes, piano/keyboard
3. Yes, violin, viola, cello, bass (inc. electric bass)
4. Yes, percussion
5. Yes, a woodwind
6. Yes, a brass instrument
7. Yes, multiple
8. Yes, something not mentioned here
9. No, I do not currently play an instrument but I sing
10. No, I do not currently play an instrument and I do not sing.
End Options]
Please specify in the comments or tags!
I’m sorry there aren’t more options, I only had 10 spaces or I would’ve included more. I tried to go with the most common and obviously with groups!
What counts for singing is up to you. I think most people sing some amount, but you can decide if yours counts or not. The reason for this is because you can teach yourself an instrument, so not requiring lessons or anything for either instruments or singing.
If you want to learn an instrument, especially if you don’t currently play any, I would love to know if you shared!
Please reblog! I wanna know how many of us play instuments ourselves and what that distribution is.
If you don’t listen to the Mechanisms don’t respond to this poll! I’m sure your answer is very interesting, but it will skew the results!
#the mechanisms#poll#i included the answer options in brackets because my phones screenreader wont read them if i havent voted. ive heard other peoples do but i-#included it to be safe!#i have experience with multiple instruments!#chronilogically they are guitar. recorder (which i still count even though it was required in my school because i still have it and can-#still play it). alto saxophone. piano/keyboard. ukulele. violin. electric bass.#i have most experience with the saxophone and least with the bass!#i also sing. i did musical theatre ages 10-14 and a bit of non-musical theatre outside of that. so i have *some* amoung of training.-#plus chorus in middle school. but very little of it was one-on-one. plus i take t now and my voice dropped! so i dont havd any idea how my-#singing is now. not that i really knew before.#anyway im very curious! i always think its interesting when people are really into music but play no instruments (like my dad)#sorry to harmonica and accordion for not being able to fit you in the poll and also everything else because there are so many instruments!

#today's promt is 'map'#idk i remember reading somewhere that Nick and Horse-man couldn't write sheet-music properly#and would instead write these intricate instructions for how stuff was to be played using symbols not accepted by the musical world at large#(they're just like me for real)#(i know how to read sheet music for bass and bass only)#(i use sheet music intended for the double bass when playing piano and guitar)#(it's a problem)#anyway#inktober?#pinktober#pink floyd#nick mason#roger waters#david gilmour#rick wright#art?#art

does anyone want to start a really horrible band with me
#been listening to/reading a lot about various 90s pop/rock bands at the moment. god. we used to have a proper music scene#anyway what i would bring to the table is: 1. guitar (terrible) 2. keys (was aggressively mediocre for many years of childhood piano#lessons until quitting twelve years ago. so also terrible) 3. vocals (actually i’m pretty good at this) 4. extremely strong desire to learn#the bass. willing to invest a fair amount of time and money. no experience whatsoever at the moment#OH and 5. scattershot chorus melodies/basslines that i don’t think would be half bad actually if we gave them. you know. some lyrics.#maybe a verse or two. et cetera#mutuals if you think our skill sets may be compatible please dm#this post is obviously mostly a joke but seriously i DO THINK young people need to start making bad music together again. like really#basically everything went downhill for music when the internet showed up. it’s cause we’re always on our damn phones. et cetera#caseyposting

sometimes i feel like my whole life is me planning ahead and living for the future and these late nights are the craziest thing i'll ever do
#im so responsible#i spend every day at school getting straight a's so i'll get a scholarship so i wont get 10s of thousands of dollars in debt#i spend every day trying to keep my parents convinced im cishet so i stay housed and safe and not-in-conversion-therapy#i spend every day doing homework and chores#so some nights i stay up way too late just so i regret it the next morning#some nights i let myself fail and fall and fuck up and have fun and feel regret#and that just means reading comic books and practicing bass and listening to music and blogging#three pigeons in a trench coat

Mizi and Sua having soft/happy expressions whils Ivan and Till both look scared....... what could this mean
#yuri wins again ☝️#Also the different musical symbols...#Mizi and Sua are both clefs- trebel and base iirc- whic are used w/ different instruments#correct me if im erong its been years since ive read music but treble usually has higher sounding instruments like violin and flute#while the bass clef is used for deeper/lower instruments like. a bass guitar. or cello#and Ivan and Till have a flat and sharp indicators#which tell you to play a note slightly lower or higher than the other#Two clefs can be played in the same piece ans sound good- most orchestras do this- and in fact its often vital to the piece to have both#but flat abd sharp notes usually sound bad together and dont mix (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY. ITS BEEN YEARS)#not to mention how clefs are intrinsic to the piece- like they dont change one part of it tbey determine the ENTIRE sound of the music#it tells you what instuments tou must use and if ifs low or high. But the flat and sharp mark only chanhe single notes#much to consider mutch to consideer#no id

Been thinkin bout the song I wanna write for ouaw (in my heart I want to write one for every campaign, but I know I don't have the knowledge to do that) and I want it be specifically carousel and jazz combined. Which is super hard cuz most carousel music is a march and jazz is never straight, at least the way it plays in my heart. I could always go with a street beat style, but idk, I kinda want classic swing or maybe I could take on a bossa nova or something. It's really a question of instrumentation. I'm thinking the vibe if the song is carousel but played by a big band, idk if there will be lyrics or not yet. Probably not. All that's left for my concept is straight up figuring out the chord progressions and melody, all the major important bits.
I know nobody cares about my song concept that will likely never be shared with the world outside of text, but it helps me think out my thoughts, too lol.
I may or may not take a music writing class just for this (and the few other endeavors i have in the back of my mind), idk, I'm kinda on the fence. I love jazz and I want to write music outside of the norm, but I also don't care about a lot of common music writing shit, like, fuck concert bands, they're so lame. I mean, if Icould, id write good shit, but nah, fuck concert bands.
#Idk I really love weird music all my favorite bands and musicians are “weird”#weird al yankovic#My inspiration is so specific and niche and I want to make so much music but I'm also a terrible musician#I can only read music in a key I understand I can't even transcribe#Don't ask me about bass cliff#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight

I think the Hungarian dance from swan lake would fuck on the piano. The Russian dance too maybe. The original pieces are for strings, this might be a dumb question but does the sheet music also work for piano
#I did a quick google and I guess I would just have to add bass notes?#I guess the first step would be to learn how to read music lmfao#goal for 2025#personal#Spotify

There is a faraway forgotten land in another dimension. In that land, there is an abandoned city. And in that city, there is a lone radio. When that radio is not playing the newest hit by superstar artist Neichel, it’s playing the tastiest, funkiest jams the people of that world had to offer.
(AKA the chaotic Spotify playlist with several of my favorite classic jams that I like to listen to when working on stuff like the Roleswap comic >:D)
#Just in case anyone out there happens to be curious about the music that fuels my personal creative process#I do constantly update this so it's always active haha#but here it is! a little piece of myself#nobody needs to force themselves to like this kind of music btw#this is simply an invitation into the inner workings of my mind haha#drums bass and synth all grant me enormous power#its funny because my dad got me into most of these songs#he hosted a radio show in his youth so he's big into music#so if disco is blasting from the other side of the house I know he's concentrating on something :P#I suppose I inherited that!! hahaha#anyway thank you for reading these tags#love ya#jojo rambles#link#roleswap bonus features#Spotify#also there are a few random newer songs that just fit the vibe of the roleswap!#so enjoy those too!! hehehe

learning to play music as someone who cannot read music and never had a music education is wild. bandmate is like “ooh that’s a c-major chord” and “oh yeah the song changes to a 3/8 time signature here, be careful!” and it’s amazing how little of that makes sense to me.

i watched howl's moving castle last night and i fell in love with it all over again
#aaa <3#and howl he's just so <3#sophie too <3#i've read the book too and i do adore it but the movie will always have a special place in my heart#i watched it under the covers at like 12 - 1 am as a distraction (my ankles decided it was pain time unfortunately)#and because our downstairs neighbour decided that was a great time to have a dance party (actually i'm not really sure what he was doing)#BUT I COULD FEEL THE BASS OF HIS MUSIC smh
