I just put together a Soundcloud group which you can find right here.
Basically, just post what kind of music you make and any helpful links so we can all support each other and whatnot!
Bassist close to finishing a degree in Jazz Studies, at your service.
Bassists unite! Man I miss playing in jazz ensembles and taking my standup for a walk. I've been working on bar gigs recently.
It's a blast! Try to get back into it if you can! How long have you been playing? Bar gigs with like a cover band or something similar?
Yeah just classic cover tunes and the like. I've been playing for 11 years. What type of bass do you play?
While I bet that gets monotonous after a while, I'm sure it's really fun to have a constant crowd to play for. Woah, that's a long time. I've been playing for roughly six year now. My upright is from KC Strings. It's a 7/8th and I can't remember the string length right now. I have two electrics, neither are anything special. A Peavey NTB Grind and a Dean Edge. I'd love to have a Fender Jazz one day though.
Saxomophone and Viomolin here. Hope we set up a great music community here.
Yup! Guitar. A little non-traditional, but oh well.
I've been playing guitar for 5 years now. Also make a little bit of electronic music (been messing around with lsdj to make chiptunes), and know a bit about sound recording using Pro Tools and/or Adobe Audacity. I've helped to record live sessions for upwards of 10 bands at this point.
I play drums. I´ve been playing for around 3 years and I love every second of it. Unfortunately I had to move and there was no room for my drums so I´ve been depressed because of this.
Bummer. I started playing drums a couple of years ago but I've been very lazy about it. I have a kit in my basement and I probably play once every couple of weeks these days. I have a young daughter and the only time free I have is usually at night when she is sleeping. -drums, as you know, are loud. Once in a while though, I love to rock out. I tend to put my iPod on shuffle and just play along the best I can. So much fun! Hope you get a place where you can play again.
I threw up a couple loops I made with Figure on my iPhone: http://www.propellerheads.se/products/figure/ https://soundcloud.com/groups/team-hubski A very spartan app that is actually pretty powerful, and a fun little time waster. It limits you to designing 8-bar loops, and the drum machine and synth sounds are incredible. They synths especially can kick out some really warm tones for a little digital app.
My babies. http://imgur.com/gk9Cs I also dabble in classical music composition; I have a couple of uploads here. (The sound quality is pretty bad because I'm using a free composition program)
I'm doing a music degree. I play Drums, Guitar and piano and I'm also a signed electronic music producer. http://soundcloud.com/kinetics

https://soundcloud.com/hissnlissn - mixes and some other thangs. I've got some scores up at hissworks.com/portfolio as well. And I run a label at loveslabel.com. Will join the group, nice idea.
Good call, but it's actually these guys paying considerable homage to Ernestus/Oswald: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Substance+%26+Vainqueur
2006-2008 was the high water mark for this third-wave dub techno sound. It's really fallen out of favor of late, though some of the guys doing it early on (Andy Stott and bvdub to name two) have moved on to do some really interesting stuff in the past couple years.
I find the sound rather timeless. When I hear it, I feel like I could be content with that level and kind of output from the artist in perpetuity it's so good. But no artist can stand to stand still like that, and I won't get to enjoy high quality output combined with innovation if they do. How many times have I been blown away by somebody like Hawtin or James and then found myself even more taken by new output of theirs years later that was completely divorced from their previous work? I still say Autechre's first album was the best one though :)
Agree that it's a timeless sound, and I think despite the critical backlash against it (just search 'dub' on the mnml ssgs twitter account) there's still a place for it, and DJs prove that out time and again when they trot out the classics (example being Optimo's recent set for boilerroom.tv - haven't heard it just yet myself but people seem to have freaked out over the fact that they dropped "Quadrant"). Dunno about Autechre, myself, only really got into one song - "Pen Expers" - but they never caught on for me, despite the fact that I've got friends who are obsessed. Seems like that might be the problem, there's only two modes for Autechre - ignorant (such as myself) or obsessed :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the term 'dub' was basically never used to describe BC/CR the first go-round. I always referred to it as 'minimal', as did everybody I know. I may have just been out of the loop (I'm not a DJ). But that's the funny thing about electronica. It evolves so quickly that subgenres and tags are thrown around in a flurry, and I feel like subgenres can be born and die before they even have earned the right to be referred to sometimes.
Would you be interested in working with a jazz quartet?
Well, we're a jazz quartet. Our drummer has connections with a recording studio in Chicago which is where we've recorded once. To be associated with a label though would be fantastic.
Very cool. I'm still working through the second release which has been a bit of a bear. The next release I'd like to do is actually with a jazz quintet based out of Logan Square, the Grilly Brothers. They put on a free show every Wednesday night right across from Cole's bar, which just so happens to be where I spent many a Wednesday night waiting hours on end to go up and do my five minutes at a comedy open mic. My friends would come by to keep me company and after my set we'd go across the street with a bottle or two to enjoy the show. For the Grilly Brothers record I hope to get one or two of their originals recorded at their in-house studio and get a rework by an edm artist for the other side. If that were to go as planned (i.e. tremendously) I'd definitely be interested in working with you all. Let's keep in touch on that.
I still am baffled that we happen to be so near one another.
I looked up Cole's Bar and didn't see that the Grilly Brothers were on their calendar. If they're doing free shows, I'd love to check that out as well. Yes, definitely keep in touch. I think it'd be a lot of fun to work with you.
