@subGENRE yes one of my Ricks is a bass as well.. but they have a very distinctive tone that's pretty easy to hear
whenever they are used... Hofner.. ? never saw a 5 string , and as you said.. the neck is not really designed for more than 4

there are these , not a Hofner but going for the optics.. have no idea how they sound..

Film/Game scores and electronic sounds don't cancel each other out. I began music making with a guitar decades ago and now am pleased with what I can do using the computer. But, yes, I too did and will do music for games. When I accepted the first such project, it was like a totally new playground. You see the scenes you have to support with your music and there's demands from the producers, that you normally don't face outside film/game scoring. It is very different and very exciting.

I do it for the fun and the new discoveries and I don't earn anything by it (I do all the stuff for small indies). But I do it with plugins on my pc, not with "real" instruments.

 

I've been producing Techno way before was "fashion" and I'll keep doing it.
Totally understand that today brainless kids that watch way to much TV and are bombarded with all those "shining" (Extremely boring) EDM festivals want to be the next "stars". That's why the market is so saturated of the same "drop" and sounds... they all sound the same!!!
Creativity stop being something important that should push music, and all that matters in todays Dance Scene is all the "show off" and confetti, without forgetting the "posers"!
When I started, we only had real synths and drum machines. Today (thankfully) we have a incredible arsenal of soft synths and effects that we could only dream back in the 90's.
Yet, since 2010 we can count with fingers the real unforgettable tracks.
Mainstream "music" is killing great artist that are out there creating amazing things.
I stop to listen radio for more than 15 years, and was one of my best decisions.

This seems to want to be a "Mac-vs.-PC" sort of debate. I've used electric and acoustic guitar sounds (almost all live; very-occasionsally, samples) with electro drums and synths, because I like how their sounds and textures go together. Acoustic guitar strumming with an arpeggiating synth sounds pretty cool. It depends on what sounds befit the nature of the song. I've also gotten into longer-form music mixing orchestral and synth sounds – why adhere to purist conventions or "either/or" choices?

 

..that sax is super hot haha

Thanks man! I've never named my guitars... er.. Vincenza?

 

nah dood this isn't like that @all- does anyone here seem to be iron clad in their stance? Just more of a 'throwing it out there/anyone else' post- y'know, lounge discussion-style I'm glad he did, thought I was getting old

 

I keep going back to my Fender bass as well. Our bass player uses Schecters and I like them, but that Fender just has this certain sound.

I haven't moved into electronic music yet, but have began dabbling with EZ Keys as I'm no piano player, which will likely push me in the direction of learning to play my keyboard a bit better. Especially when I can't find a piece which matches what I'm after. But at the moment, my time is full learning mixing in order to self produce my bands EP. Most writing I've done lately has been with just an acoustic guitar, and vocals which are usually more than enough to hammer out a song's basic structure.

I forgot to mention that my laptop blew up, so I suddenly ran out of serious processing power. I repurposed an old one that I had laying around and started playing my guitar again, so basically the need to work more conservatively with wav files was forced upon me.

But the good news is I ended up buying a few more guitars! And I'm still waiting to update the broken laptop

It hings upon what do you mean by song. If the extremity of your goal is something like this and you can not occlude your insatiable lust for it, you need neither any instrument nor voluptuous electronic production techniques. Just ask your mom to add some aphrodisiac to your meal.

aaand im stealing this

 

I love electronic music. I love playing my guitar.
But I love electronic music.

It would probably take a complete reformation of the laws of nature.

 

For me, it's what @Pinkman said, rly. What do all these nostalgic guitar heroes use 2 record their strumming? Tape? Wax cylinder? The corpse of Bob Dylan? There's just music, rly. Can u get fed up w/ it? Computers just make it easier to get the sounds from ur mind into other minds.

Anyway, I shouldn't rly crit too much. I kinda love guitar, and ima always trying to impersonate it using keyboard. Badly. And I kinda wish I had the patience and brain chemistry to understand guit like I do keyboard. I guess sluts just like fingering things; I can still (maybe) fucking sight read for lots of bizarre (trumpet!) instruments I don't ever fucking use IRL, thanks to parental neglect. Or not forcing me to play piano @ young age, which should be classified as child abuse imo. But, who knows, I prolly wouldn't be so excite by muzak now...

Just make sure u give it to enough ppl to get it trending on twitter!

 

Or you can make electronic music on your nylon acoustic guitar?

Check this mix out. Nice reprise of insomniac in sandstorm. Like a good dj would do as well

 

haha tight - Rodrigo y Gabriela for the trance set??

 

there may be a hiatus.. but once it starts.. it doesn't often stop !

 

.... me tooo!!! .....my MS20...my rickenbacker bass ... Z3ter2+etc.... and more Live Drumkit Samples....

 

The zombie-like masses. The people that produce for the zombie-like masses zombie-like music.
And earn a whole crap of money...

In the other side of the corner, a bunch of people not being satisfied with the current state of "consumption"(!) of music. Frustrated even.
They are searching for new ways to compose and interpret music. When they hear music, they are conscious present. For most of them, its life fulfilling.

I think we should give ourselves more credit for what we are doing.

Also, I think we want this non existing "mass" to experience music as we do. So clear, so beautiful, without any labels, just the music.
But the only way we can show them how we are currently enjoying it, is by composing and listening, dancing, getting our music to be heard.

We can't hear the music for them, we can't force them to do it. We can only give them some guidance. Whoever this "them" actually is.
