Any musicians out there??? If so what is your weapon of choice??? Gear, Styles, techniques???
I'm a computer musician, mostly using tracker programs and such. Does that count?
I used to play http://images1.fotosik.pl/13/jggl6u1c2o82nzqu.jpg (for about 12 years). I played (mainly french) music from circa 1500 to about 1750, following the Coin school of interpretation ("style"). As for "technique", I was the "typical european", who plays on a high technical level, but manages to produce totally lifeless non-music. Haven't touched the thing in maybe 7 years, so no idea if that counts. Sometimes I played ancient greek tulilu on a borrowed aulos, simply for shits and giggles.
I also played Saxophone for 8 years and absolutely hated it. I played some 30s jazz/swing crap on it, and because I totally lose at improvisation, that wasn't so much fun. I sold it.
I'm also capable of a few simple BC figures on cembalo.
I do mediocre rearrangements in garageband and the occasional chiptune in schism tracker.

im not to much but a 6-string slinger and songwriter, though the latter has aluded me lately...

Well then, I usually work in Modplug Tracker or Buzz, both freeware trackers for the Windows platform. I do this on another computer because I can't stand Windows in general. I have a large collection of samples gathered from various Internet sources and also sometimes make my own (from scratch, or out of songs ripped from CDs).
I tend to produce a dirty, noisy, in-your-face type sound. As with lots of electronic music, my songs usually consist of a few motifs glued together with variations. Originally I produced rather verbose songs, 4 or 5 minutes long on the average, with lots of repetition, but now I have matured enough to make my musical "point", as it were, more concisely and most of my recent tracks are under three minutes.
I'm interested in transforming and resynthesizing music, even going beyond remixing, taking an atom of another work and going off in another direction with it until the original can no longer be readily discerned. I believe strongly in the Crap Art philosophy, and have participated in the Album-a-Day project several times (http://crapart.spacebar.org/). As such, I rarely produce "masterpieces", but the sloppy tunes I turn out are often as fun to listen to as they are to make, which is pretty darn fun.
Damn, I didn't mean to kill the thread. Come on, there have to be other musicians here, right?
drummer right here
I am a musician and I play the UKULELE LOL

schism for the win
I play flute; picked it up a few months ago after having not played anything in 3-4 years. Used to play electric bass and miscellaneous woodwinds in high school.
I want to learn guitar, piano and saxophone, but all I actually do is some shitty noise using the computer, which you should thank me for keeping unreleased.
