GreatGooglyM...	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 5:43 AM 1. Uh, probably when I was 2 or 3, allthough I'm not sure if you could call that music. Started playing contrabass at 11, then guitar at 12 and piano at 15. 2. Been writing songs about 2 years now. 3. Guitar: well, piano: quite well, drums and bass: moderately 4. Not at the moment, but I used to. 5. Vai, Zappa, Gilbert, Stravinsky, Bach, Varese, Petrucciani and a lot of metal groups. 6. Not at the moment really. I used to do 4-6 concerts a month when I was in the music school. Hopefully soon we start gigging with my band, when we have enough material finished. 7.http://theinfamous67841.dmusic.com/music/stream/hifi/326483/.05628133/stream.m3u

leedsquietman	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 6:29 AM 1. 14 yrs old keyboards, 15 guitar, 17 bass and drums/4 track recording etc. 2. I wrote music and friends wrote lyrics for a long time (16 years with a break of about 5 years 1993-199 3. Keyboards are my main instrument, can also play some guitar (not the speed licks a la Vai, Satriani though), once played bass in a grunge band in university, I also regard myself as useful with sequencing/programming/using fx like an instrument a la Brian Eno etc. 4. I have never taken any formal lessons, I have read some books and use chord charts and scales etc. 5. Too many to list, from 60's rock to punk, alternative, soul, metal, alternative, goth, blues and modern electronica etc. Guess I'm not very picky !! 6. No, work/family life too hectic. I did play in bands in the 90's mostly pretty average covers stuff. 7. Too hard to pick one...make your own choice at http://lqmdemos.dmusic.com/
evansorchid	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 8:19 AM -At what age did you start playing music? I guess I was in kindergarden when I heard the teacher play 'High Hopes' on the piano that I immediately wanted to learn to do that as well. I would sneak over to the piano when she would leave the room and twiddle with the keys. By probably age 6 I could play a decent version of Joplin's 'The Entertainer'. -How long have you been making music? ? Been writing and recording my own stuff since I got my first tape deck at age 10 -What instruments do you play ? Lately I've been sticking to vocals, guitar, bass and drum programming. - Did you take or are you taking music lessons ? I took 2 years of piano lessons starting when I was 8. I took one year of guitar lessons when I was 12. -Which artists are guiding you with music? Sorry, but no artist 'guides' my music. If there is any influence, it's strictly subconscious. If I have an idea in my head. I sit down and hash it out on a musical instrument. I'll let you folks decide if I sound like someone else. - Do you play live music ? Currently no, but when was in my early 20's I 'supported' myself for four years by playing bass guitar with a number of rock/alternative/dance/cover bands.

sqrlcub	Date: August 21, 2006 @ 3:31 PM -At what age did you start playing music? I officially started playing the guitar when I was 13 though I had noodled around on it prior to that off and on. I switched to bass at 15 and eventually taught myself a few other instruments before college. -How long have you been making music? ? About 18 years now. -What instruments do you play ? The instruments that I think I play pretty well are guitar, bass, lute, and the recorder family (from sopranino to contrabass). I used to play the piano decently but I am so rusty at it now I wouldn't really consider it. - Did you take or are you taking music lessons ? I graduated with a music degree in performance and composition. I'm currently taking lessons again in preparation for master's work in either music composition or classical guitar performance. -Wich artits are guiding you with music? My grandfather was my first influence. He was in a top 10 hit honky tonk band in the 50s. Depending on the time frame the influences changed. I originally played a mixture of punk, death metal, and grindcore, but as I got older my tastes changed and I sought out different sources of culture. My favourite composer of the last 15 years or so has been Alexander Scriabin. He primarily wrote for the piano and did some amazing things on the theoretical side of music as well as writing some interesting music. My current primary influences come a bit from him, Dowland, and Ravel with some excursions into generic flamenco and jazz harmonies. As for performers, I particularly like Paul O'Dette (Lute), Julian Bream, and William Kanengeiser (Classical guitar) currently. - Do you play live music ? I do from time to time but mostly only for small gatherings now. When I was still in college I was more involved in the scene. Put a link to your featured song : This is a more traditional sounding piece that I wrote based off an old English folk tune, called Bushes and Briars. It's also a lovely collaboration with Cosmic Earth Girl who hasn't been around for a few months. http://sqrlcub.dmusic.com/music/stream/hifi/156686/.51be0c6f/stream.m3u

jewsus	Date: August 24, 2006 @ 2:19 PM 1) my grandma taught me how to play piano when i was 5. since then i've kinda grown away from the instrument and can hardly play anything very well on it. 2) i started writing songs my first year in college, so about 4 years. 3) anything with strings. haven't had a string instrument thrown at me so far that i haven't figured out with a couple weeks of practice. 4) kinda. i took a class in college that was called "guitar lessons", but all my instructor and i did was jam the whole time. 5) right now, Drudkh, Destroyer 666, Ragnarok, and Agalloch. there's more, for sure, but i don't really feeling like typing them all out. to sum it up: raw black metal, blackened death metal, and folk black metal. 6) i did for awhile, back in the winter. that was a hardcore band though. and it really didn't last all that long, we all got pissed at our drummer for not being able to play at tempo, and he quit. probably was for the best though. 7) blah, the link tags are fuckin up on my previews. if you're really curious just go to "www.furimmernacht.dmusic.com". i've got a new song up called "REAL Raw Black Metal". no vocals or drums, just pure black metal guitar.

Yes, but I'm taking a break from them at the moment. -Wich artits are guiding you with music? Way too many to mention, but Zappa, Stravinsky and Shostakovich are big inspirations. - Do you play live music ? Yes, but currently I don't have a regular band.
