   - Did you teach yourself? I did kind of have guitar lessons on music class but my teacher only asked to choose a             song and then learn it by yourself. So, basically, yeah. Then, for learning drums, I will use internet sources.

1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?

 

I'm an intermediate piano / keyboard player with some formal training during my teenage years, followed by some self-tuition and practice.

 

2. Are you in a band or bands?

 

My band is really just a musical pseudonym: China Border.

 

3. Do you write songs?

 

I'm a keen song-writer with more than 200 songs in some significant state of completion...

 

4. Do you record your music?

 

... but I'm lazy with actually recording / producing my works, perhaps due to an unfortunate combination of perfectionism and a lack of natural skill for production! Also, I don't sing or know anyone who wishes to lend a voice to my songs, so I'm experimenting painstakingly with a vocal synthesiser.

 

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

 

I'm an utter amateur.

 

6. Are you a tech head?

 

In some ways - in fact, I'm a computer science graduate and former professional - but I'm not keen on smart-phones and am increasingly acquiring vintage synthesiser reproductions.

 

7. What country do you live in?

 

The United Kingdom.

 

8. What are your ambitions?

 

To be a respected but not broadly famous song-writer and composer.

 

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?

 

I'm a hobbyist photographer and videographer and - very occasionally - a writer of fiction works.

 

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

 

A small but loyal band of followers..?

Hi, I'm VDX.

I've just registered with the website in order to see what it is all about.

 

Even though this most probably won't be read, I'll give it a shot:

 

1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?

I used to sing when I was little. My voice isn't what it used to be, though.

 

What instruments?

I play keyboards (in my own way - not like a classical pianist). Eventually I hope to learn the Linnstrument.

 

When did you start playing?

When I was 4. With one finger.

Did you teach yourself?

100% yes.

 

 

2. Are you in a band or bands?

Not really... Or maybe a 1 man band :)

 

What is the name of the band?

It's called VDX.

 

What do you play?

Instrumental music, i guess.

 

What other instruments are in the band?

Me, myself and I.

But I can probably sound like many instruments, from electronic to acoustic.

 

Do you have a band website?

Well, it's a soundcloud page.

 

3. Do you write songs?

Yes. Do they call them songs without vocals? If not.. then maybe 'tracks'...

 

Do you write lyrics, music or both?

Music only.

 

Do you have a writing partner?

No, not really.

 

4. Do you record your music?

Of course I do. Doesn't everybody?

 

Do you use a home studio? If so what gear do you use?

Yes, sort of.

There are 6 keyboards, one way or another.

Some speakers, and a computer.

Also many cables, and some pedals.

Oh yes... headphones (neighbors :) ) and a condenser mike I rarely use.

 

Do you use a recording studio?

No. Not in a traditional sense (though the 'home' studio involves recording).

 

Do you have music available on the web? if so where?

Yes. It's on the soundcloud page.

Under /vdxi

 

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

Management? Label owner? Publishing? Promotion? Other?

No, No, No, No....and no.

 

6. Are you a tech head?

Yes, you could definitely say that :)

 

7. What country do you live in?

Umm... not relevant.

 

8. What are your ambitions?

To be able to transfer music from my head to speakers, with the least amount of effort.

And then just to create. Music.

 

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?

I can't draw a straight line.

I never tried to write my thoughts.

I do some of my own cover art.

I .. umm... move, but I'm not sure you could call it 'dancing'.

 

What are your pastimes?

Well, I guess you could call music my hobby, considering my day job.

 

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

I was thinking I'd meet similar people. Maybe I'd like to look for opinions? share opinions?

I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Yes and no - I learned the violin for a few years when I was 10-12, and that taught me the basics on which I then taught myself.

I used to like recording and producing, but there's so much around now I can't help thinking that it's time to go in a different direction.

Did you teach yourself?

I took lessons for classical and electric guitar, piano and singing. All together for 9 years, the other 10 years I teached myself.

 

2. Are you in a band or bands?

Yes, I'm in a blues band

 

What is the name of the band?

Yellow House Blues Band

What do you play?

Guitar, also some vocals

What other instruments are in the band?

Electric fretless bass, drums, vocals (m/f) and harmonica

Do you have a band website?

No

 

3. Do you write songs?

 

Do you write lyrics, music or both?

I write both. I am more focused on writing music, I only write lyrics when I feel I need to.

 

Do you have a writing partner?

No

 

4. Do you record your music?

 

Do you use a home studio? If so what gear do you use?

I record at home. I use Studio one 5 as a DAW, the Motu m4 as an interface and the Rode NT-1a as well as the Shure SM-57 as microfones.

I want to find people to collaborate with. The most important thing is to have fun. Therefore, social compatibility is more important than skills.

Learning languages

 

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

I would like to find people to collaborate. Especially people who want to write lyrics for my songs. But the most important thing is, again, to have fun, and to learn something in the process, just for the sake of learning.

 

I think that covers the main musical things!
