Instrumentalist roll call

8111	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:17 AM Who here creates and records most of their music with an actual instrument?
NosmoKing	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:30 AM I do!
NosmoKing	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:32 AM Live drums, electric and acoustic guitars and synths!

MultiMike	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 8:56 AM So do I, electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, synths, piano accordion....and...so I've been told..Casio Horns
SimonWaldram	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 10:52 AM Guitars, keyboards, hand drums, baby accordion, melodica, ukelele... whatever I can get my hands on!
vilifiend	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 11:27 AM i use keyboard for my productions and sometimes i record my guitar =) ive used hand drums before...
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 11:53 AM guitars, keyboards, bass, drums (I usually program them though as I do not currently own a kit), hand drums/percussion, mandolin, banjo, sitar etc. kazoo, penny whistle, jew's harp. Custard filled sock hitting a radiator and sampled. etc. Casio horns are my favourite, I hope they feature on ALL the Meat DBeatles tracks whenever that project ever gets released. The sonic coloration and exquisite Casio harmonics are the true sound of brass in my book
Tattoomom	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:27 PM hmmm...what classifies as "instrument"? I'm still hoping to leave behind that whole "groupie" lable......
PregnantBitch	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:45 PM iplay teh spoons!!!!!
zedsalt	Date: September 24, 2008 @ 3:38 AM Everything one hears in every one of my solo tunes is the result of me playing one sort of musical instrument or another (or vocalizing). Not that I never make use of, say, a clicktrack from a toy keyboard; it's just that I never keep things like that in the mix. And very nearly everything that people hear in my songs and assume is a synth is not. Not that I have anything against those tools/methods; there just isn't any music coming out of me that makes use of them.
celtaidd	Date: September 24, 2008 @ 5:51 AM Me play guitar, bass and keyboard (to a fashion anyway )
shadowself	Date: September 24, 2008 @ 6:44 PM Comfortable with: vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards. Not bad with: bass, trumpet. Can make interesting noise with: mandolin, Chapman Stick I own all of the above except for trumpet.
independentm...	Date: September 25, 2008 @ 3:15 AM Our band plays everything we do live with a minimal of overdubs and without samples of other people's stuff. (I admit that those times we don't have a drummer handy that on a few things the "drums" are samples of ME hitting a drum or cymbol, recording it, and using fruity-loops or hammerhead to sequence the beat/track.)
BOWILLIE	Date: September 25, 2008 @ 3:18 AM bass ..guitars.. harmonica..ect whatever is required in doing a track.
zedsalt	Date: September 25, 2008 @ 4:44 AM I thought of an exception to what I said earlier in this thread, and it was in a song I'd posted here at DMusic! The robovoice at the start of "Pretty Much Soop" was a talker, along the lines of what Hawking uses. Technically, I think that would have to be considered "programming" rather than "playing", right?
