    Salutations, friends! It is I, Guro.

    Do any of you wonderful people have musical talent or possess a musical instrument? Post about it here if you do. Pictures are always encouraged. I recently purchased a rather nice synthesizer, which got me to wondering if the KAG community possesses much musical talent. Post your compositions (soundclouds/bandcamps/youtube), instrument pictures or musical skills in this thread.

    I write ambient/glitch/downtempo music electronically and play guitar and keys. You can find my music on https://soundcloud.com/veins-sean-grant-taylor (shameless self advertisement).

    My most recent acquisition is a Nord Lead2X VAnalog Synthesizer.

    So post away, fellow musicians.

    Your music has really good ambient feel to it. I found it quite enjoyable while conjuring up a next gif :)

    You really seem to be into this surrealistic art thing, don't you? :p

    Instruments makes me feel bad. I simply do not have the will to practise at it, each to his own I suppose.

    I've tried playing the guitar, drums, recorder, violin, ocarina, keyboard, piano. Besides from getting really good at playing the triangle, all of it has been a failure. I was able to gain a basic understanding of the guitar, but even that ancient art was lost to me.

    So what can we dissect from all this is that I enjoy listening to all sorts of music performed by all of these lovely instruments, but trying to play them gives me great anxiety.

    I make some shitty dubstep and electro, while I've had 7 years of experience playing Clarinet in a formal band and 4 years of playing guitar in my own little gig.

    here's my latest sample, a collab between me and my friend, it's a very work in progress, but I don't mind showing it off a bit.

    I make dubstep with my bike whenever I ride it. Some junk kicked my front wheel some months ago and bent it quite bad. Should get another bike but legal ones are too expensive and dont want to get one from another junk now.

    Same. Although I cannot say I have actually practiced instruments, but I know from experience that aside from typing on a keyboard, I do not have very nimble fingers or good coordination.

    I love violins though, favourite instrumental artist would be Michal Jelonek.

    I just listened all your tracks Guro, I like them individually, but this genre needs some kind of arty thing to get them together as one album. Kinda missing the story for some reason.

    I play Piano and the violin.
    This has nothing to do with being half asian.

    And I suppose the fact that my friend is good a table tennis, calculus and has many years experience working in a restaurant has nothing to do with the fact he is asian either.

    I wasn't posting that jokingly.
    On other forums I've gotten messages like "Go figure, you're asian" messages whenever I said I played any of the two instruments.
