Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.
now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?
At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).
Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.
P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.
!musicproduction@sh.itjust.works feel free to post we could all use the engagement.
I make sounds but have trouble calling myself a musician.
I play classical style guitar. I joined a community here, but I was the only post.
I agree that it’s rough out there finding communities with common interests.
Please join more. Even if they are empty. That way one day there will be 40 people who have joined and people naturally start talking. My Lemmy inbox has 40 unread messages now. We are here, we just don’t have a spot yet. So search for music, guitar, your local area, and sub to the empty communities that you’d like to see filled and active.
I’ve been in a bunch of bands. Recorded a couple shitty punk albums. More recently I have done solo music and recorded my own EP. Most recently, I’ve been considering busking for extra money.
Tell me more. Is your ep also punk?
No, its not punk. I’d call it more like Sad Bastard Music. https://bentnotbrokenmusic.bandcamp.com/album/homemade I also have a bunch of random stuff, early versions of songs from the EP, and covers, on soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/bent-not-broken/tracks
*waves hello to fellow music nerds*
Anyway, here’s ‘Smoke on the Water’ on a harpsichord
Bro. Where’s the link!
It’s all in the mind
Your right. I can hear it now.
I’m a bassist in a few bands. Wish there was more bass discussion here on Lemmy.
If you’re into prog rock, check out one of my band’s songs: frog rock
Have you followed/subbed to the bass communities on Lemmy? The more people do it, the more they’ll talk there. Just gotta take the first baby steps.
It’s posting that really gets the ball rolling. Spread out over days/weeks helps a lot.
if you can’t tell from my username. I am also a bassist.
I’ve been getting into some transcription groups of FB. That might be a good community here? I get bored real quick of photos of pedal boards, ampeg/orange stacks, Rickenbackers and alcoholism memes
Musician here. I’ll play almost anything with strings and drums. Youtube: @rx120d, @BlackRiverStudio astralpath.bandcamp.com
I’m learning to play the piano!
Have you subbed/followed any piano Lemmy communities? Piano4all on udemy is really good for learning piano. That’s how I started out. Cost me 11 euro total, practiced 15 mins a day. And look at me now… I can… Kinda play lol
I’m learning in person, but thanks for the suggestions :)
Check out the jazz community and for goodness sake, post
Or at the very minimum, reply.
If I had to choose an order of importance, just my opinion
- Posting
- Discussing
- Voting
Edit: I posted quite a lot on jazz, gave up, went back. I’m only saying this to point out what is probably obvious, that I love the form
I think realistically, jazz is both an intimidating, and quite inaccessible form in ways. Someone just dipping in their toes can find that what they expected was a cozy warm hot spring, and ended up in an infinite pool stretching in all directions
It can be really scary and disorienting!
I feel jazz isn’t really a genre so much as a viewpoint on life and sound, and that can make it so difficult to find common ground
So in a weird way, it might be better if there was less discussion and more sharing. That’s probably a weird view. But what I would like is kind of selfish in my own way. The more people share and feel free to do so without judgment, the happier I am! Because I love new music, but like any normal human I do get trapped in certain vortexes. Apparently I entered a time warp to the 50s-70s and haven’t found a single step back in 20 years lol
My guitarist has been a jazz player for 20 years. It’s fantastic. My band is working on funk originals. And I can say make that chord sadder and he can get it in more ways than just changing to minor. I can say hey, make my vocal land as the 7th to a chord and he can just find it. like damn. I have enough theory to get creative but it takes me ages to work it out. But it’s all at the tip of his fingers. Amazing.
That’s too bad. I would love more synth stuff here.
You can see the remains here: https://sh.itjust.works/c/synthesizers@lemm.ee I made my new account a moderator of the community before lemm.ee went down, but I actually am not familiar enough with Lemmy to know what that means. There’s no owner anymore?
It no longer exists as the instance that was hosting the community has shut down. It now only exists in archive form on instances that federated with it prior to shutting down like the one you linked. No new posts or comments can be made however. (technically you can but it won’t federate out for anyone to see).
Hmm. I suppose the “solution” is to just start it again on another instance and link to that version for archived material. Thanks!
Thank you for getting the rest of us started. It is tricky Lemmy being so fragile. Hopefully the synth community will find its footing again somehow.
Guitar for 25 years with some bass and drums in there too, play in one band atm but always on the lookout for new stuff. I should play more.
It’s a shame the music communities here aren’t as vibrant as reddit but far less people over here. I live in hope that it’ll get busier!
Sub to communities you wanna see pop off and that’s how they get more active.
I play the Penny Whistle!
Penny whistle gang unite. Go find a Lemmy community and follow it. Heck you could find the guitar community and take it over with their paltry numbers.
I sing and play folk music on the guitar and early music on lute and recorder (my favorite size is the tenor).
Have you found any Lemmy communities for folk music yet?
None that I know of. I’d love to see it though!
Subbed! Thanks I missed that one
I played the Kazoo for several years but I could never tune it properly.
Did you try waxing it with blinker fluid?
I’m a musician and that doesnt play much any more. I actually found something from the good old days of reddit when cleaning my parents house… A CD… That was sent to me by a stranger from reddit as a music swap. I think the idea is awesome and as much as I love the ability to listen to everything streaming, sitting down and listening to that CD invoked amazing memories I forgot about, and I even found a few bangers I didn’t vibe with all those years ago. Long story short, I wanna do music swaps with people and not just playlists, actual physical music. Don’t know if anyone will read this or how I would even physically send someone music now, but if you’re interested post or DM me and we can figure something out!
