Re: ♪ PC Music ♪

I'm currently working a recording of Rollo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68rPcKU0JII) which will mainly be based on saxophones and synthesizers. I do however, lack any sort of percussion, and so would appreciate it if when it is complete (I shall post it up on here) if somebody here who plays the ...

Re: ♪ PC Music ♪

Not if you'er using MIDI, although, I record the tracks on a portable recorder using an export the masters onto the computer and onto Audacity so that I can put all the recordings together (it's only a 4 track, so you've got to make more than one song for more complicated pieces). Audacity's alright ...

One of us could always try and compose an experimental piece at some point. There's no harm in trying it out, is there?

I'll gladly participate, just so long as ska and avant-garde is acceptable.

Re: Please introduce yourself here

To cut costs on fuel? That fuel you're talking about might not be around for much longer. Then what?
There are alternatives to the fuels we're using, albeit they are slightly less efficient, but I feel that, considering that some of these don't cause as much hassle in the same areas that the ...

Re: Please introduce yourself here

The dangers of nuclear power are wildly overexaggerated by its opponents. Uranium fission power plants are safe, but you need a lot of energy to build the power plants and mine uranium. Hopefully, we'll discover how to build efficient fusion- or thorium fission plants soon, which will be safer and ...

Re: Please introduce yourself here

I'm in England, although I hope to move to Canada in my adulthood. Do you know, they're planning on building another 15 or so nuclear power stations over here within the next 20 years? I don't care how safe they say it is, that spells trouble. It only takes one malfunction or one bumbling idiot to ...

It certainly appears to be much more interesting than over here. Over here, it's wall-to-wall scantily clad women. I thought I'd never say it, but you get sick of the sight of leg.

<Disagrees with all of the above.

When my copious gaming sessions ended, so did my enormous interest. I do still enjoy them, and it's interesting to see the way the technology's going, although I think that developers don't utilise it very well. You don't see much original now (this being the reason I don't own a new console ...

Re: Music you are listening to now! :twisted:

I recently bought an album called Buck Fever by a band called Estradasphere. It's very clever stuff. It fuses things like jazz, tango, waltz, circus music, heavy rock and world music. One of the last tracks has a sort of artificial Native American feel to it. It's very interesting stuff. I've also ...

Good afternoon, all of you. I am Sam. I don't play video games very often anymore, but I do enjoy communicating with people who enjoy what I used to enjoy a lot (and in a lot of cases, such as this one, what I still do enjoy).
