I was thrilled the moment I logged in and saw this update! :D It's very practical and those who are always on the go and have no time anymore to sit down on the computer would benefit from this! I wasted no time and bought it immediately when I saw it hahaha This in my opinion will really benefit me in three ways:

1) I can make progress offline!
2) It encourages me to walk more (which is what the doctor recommended me to do since we discovered last week that I have a heart problem).
3) It saves me money in the long run since I'd be walking home instead of using public transportation!

So a big thank you Riako for creating this! -^w^-

Gress, Millie and GoddessNyx! Welcome! ^__^ Hope you enjoy it here <3

Congrats Oddball! :D Do you think you'd be able to show us your performances? :3

For the summer part, I have been learning how to mix behind the audio tech booth, along with setting up the gear for the band before gigs. It's quite fun being able to play with the effects and tone quality while they're playing ^__^

Lately, I am working on a new original composition, and I am working up on using the harmonica (just a little bit since I don't really know how to use it properly), classic and bass guitar. But since I've just watched The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug about an hour ago...

... I have set the composition aside for a while and now trying to play this by ear with the guitar:
"I See Fire" - Ed Sheeran
The plucking and blending for the whole song is just beautiful! >w<

Wishing you the best, Amadea! ^_^

Has anyone ever tried to downtune their guitars for playing specific songs?

Dark, steel, and dragon types :) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a taste of fairy types since I don't have the latest games yet, but I bet they're awesome too.

But dang when I first saw Hydreigon, I instantly fell in love with it. <3

I am currently reading/watching through Attack On Titan's episodes/volumes and I must say, it is very interesting XD I'd love to be Mikasa any day. She's so bad**s and just plain awesome. But I also like Potato Girl. She's crazy. lol

Oooh oooh! I am also fangirling on Beyblade :'D I was only able to go through the first three seasons though. I lost interest in the new Beyblade series, sorry about that, new gen beyblade folks! Of course, like a lot of girls out there.. I love Kai Hiwatari :'D But if I am also going to consider the new series... I'll also love Tsubasa Otori. Why? Well for one, he is voiced by David Reale who is also Kai Hiwatari's voice actor. Listening to Tsubasa talk is like listening to Kai on seduction mode. *drools <3*

How could I forget Zoids? Raven and his Genobreaker? They're the bomb. So that would be Zoids: Chaotic Century and Zoids: Guardian Force. I also liked Zoids: New Century Zero with Vega as my favorite character. He's just a little kid with a big talent ^_^ But as for the later seasons, unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch them :o

I guess that's all I could think of right now XD

I'd gladly be Tyranitar! :D Mainly because it could learn a lot of stuff and deal heavy damage in battles. Though this guy has a lot of weaknesses, I still find it cool and mean-looking. ^_^

Welcome Dea and PastaCat! :D Pasta Cat is making me crave for carbonara now D:

I honestly have no idea how recorders sound like *braces for a beating* But there is youtube for that! *browses* XD I might as well search for an Oboe because that's foreign to me as well TwT

You can try to chew gum, Dea! :D If you're not going to sing, that is..

It's okay Fim ^_^

I have tried playing the harp, but it was during when I was a kid and the harp was reeeeaaaally old. I doubt that it is still in tune and I wasn't even serious about playing it, just trying it out I guess XD It was still fun to play though. I wish I could do that again and actually learn it >w<

Welcome to the family, JustMe! ^___^

I was advised by my pulmonologist that swimming on a regular basis works best for my lungs. My dad plays wind instruments and he does that too, saying that it helps him play. You might want to try it some time ^_^ Swimming rocks! :D

@Fim : I liked the Skyworld O.o I like how it progresses into something more melodic towards the end XD And awesome! Imagine Dragons is a nice band ^__^ And it's okay. Skillet makes dubstep too, which surprisingly for me, is interesting to dance to haha! *busts out terrible robot moves* XP

So your family's in it too? ^___^ No wonder. You look educated enough in music!

@Oddball : Welcome to the family! So you're into wind instruments too? >w< That must be a challenge, so I was told.

Oh that!! *Facepalms self* So that's what it's called! Nobody ever told me that was called a manuscript even when I was in highschool! TwT The first thing that popped in my mind with manuscript was a Thesis paper! XP But thanks! ^__^

Eh.. Hahaha Well, I'm trying not to be, but thank you again :'D

Ah, harmonies! ^_^ I love how musicians put harmonies in their work and sort of make it blend with each other. So switching from cheerful to solemn or the other way around... Kind of like Lugia's theme in the pokemon movie? ^__^

Lugia's Song

Yeah, why not? Give it a go sometime! >w< It's fun too, and sometimes challenging :D

When it comes to lyrics, the bands Nightwish, Symphony X, and In Flames are my idols ^__^ If you can tolerate a bit of heavy stuff, then I recommend these three (The first two aren't really heavy in my standards.. But some actually think otherwise :o The third one might be a bit heavy for some, so you can skip that) :3 Hmm.. Let's see..

"Creek Mary's Blood" - Nightwish
"Accolade II" - Symphony X
"My Sweet Shadow" - In Flames

How about you? Do you have some favorite things to listen to? ^__^

@Fim : What do you mean by sketching it out on manuscript paper? =o We'll be waiting for it >w<

Awesome! Glad you like it ^_^
Aww dang now that you mentioned it, I feel embarrassed now with some of my Soundcloud posts.. But thanks anyway hahaha XD

You have a point there X3 And it seems like minor keys sound a bit cold as compared to major ones that give a bright and happy feel.. At least that's how I've observed it so far. I still have a lot to learn :3

So to anyone who composes songs.. What are your compositions mostly about? How do you write your lyrics (if any)? :D

Awesome! Classical pieces can get really complicated and challenging. It's nice to know that there are still those who study classic ^___^ Good luck on your concert Kaybird!

Sneaky Fim >w< Will you share it with us sometime? :3 And yes! Game and movie soundtracks also count! ^__^

As for sharing.. I'd like to introduce you guys to Filipino Ethnic music. As a Filipino, I am proud of this one :'3 A little bit of a warning though.. In the end, it gets a bit uhh.. eccentric.. XD But if you're used to death metal or even at least screamo, then you have nothing to worry about ^__^;

"Rugerra" - Pinikpikan
"Isip Bitaw" - Pinikpikan

Tribal ethnic music has always been one of my favorites since highschool. May it be from any country, I am open to listen to them all. So if you have any with you, feel free to share. I'd be glad to listen to it :"> It's just amazing how much music has evolved throughout the years ^_^

As for the forte.. Honestly, I can't really name a genre that I'm good at, but I have been told countless times to have the tendency to compose music on a minor key. I don't even know what that means. Is that a bad thing? X'D I also have this thing of making and using "broken chords" with the guitar. Call it harmonic dischord, but it sounds off and yet in place at the same time.. I'll try to post an example of it when I have free time to better explain it ^_^ That's it for my forte, I guess..

Title: Behold the long post!

*restrains self from crying out frustrations of being a.. frustrated musician*

Show hidden content

Username: Sadimastika
Nickname(s): Sadi.. May it be pronounced as Sah-dee or Sei-dee, it doesn't matter :3
Reason for joining: I simply love listening to music ^_^ I'd like to share my favorites as well and know what everyone else listens to. Since I make compositions from time to time, I also would like to get ideas from everyone, especially if their forte is ethnic music.
Instruments you play: Mainly classic, electric, and bass Guitars. I play percussion instruments sometimes if a band needs a percussionist, and I also use the harmonica, Angklung, Kubing, and the Kulintang again, if needed.
Anything else?:
Let's list it down, shall we? :3
• My family on both sides came from a long line of Jazz musicians and singers.
----- My cousins from my mother's side are singers who can sing beautifully without much effort.
----- My cousins from my father's side are all jazz musicians who can read and write notes.
----- The above mentioned facts are to support the statement that I am depressingly the black sheep of the family being the only one who cannot read, write, and distinguish notes. I have to put up a lot of effort just to be able to sing decently and I only know basic chords. I try, even though it's hard to keep up.
• I can only play instruments by ear.
• I love to make up and blend harmonies in singing even if I can't sightread to save my life TwT
• My parents were against me getting a music-related course back in college two years ago (Oh, the agony) but I'm saving up for that now.
• I love making original compositions ^_^ It has also been my ultimate dream to create songs that are a mix of Symphonic Death Metal and Filipino Ethnic. Ugh.. I get goosebumps just by imagining it...
• I absolutely love sound and music editing! -^____^- Sadly, I don't have the equipment to record clean tracks -___-
• Setting the instruments aside, I am a part time amateur sound technician who's in charge of balancing levels and effects in gigs and mini-concerts :3
