Music

[annikk.exe]

I also meant that almost all programmers I know (some of whom are pretty savvy and debatably brilliant) are analytical and logical.  Their artistic side is pretty stunted.  This is, by no means, a rule but just my experience so while they are wildly talented programmers, their music is rather simple and not good.

Hmm, the only programmers I know that make music are me and some of my friends.  I won't go tooting my own horn but I think my friends' music (and other artistic pursuits) are

freaking awesome

.  :>  Though I suppose it's possible they represent rare exceptions to your sweeping generalisation..  ;)

Anyway, since we're on the subject... I'm never one to miss a plugging opportunity..  :p  Here's a tune I wrote.


Programming is a form of creativity.  It's true.  :>

Not everyone has a musica<l star inside them, but I just don't get why you disagree with the music when most people here(specifically Annikk) makes good music as they like it. I'll even jump by and make some works of my own, 'cause I can't afford and don't have enough space for any instrments, and I won't use it that much since I'm mostly occupied by other things I think is more fun Now having said that, go play Minecraft and find out thet you like to do other things while playing and just not one thing. Meaning I sometimes like to code hard-coded stuff, other times experiement and other times again make maps, but I also wanna make my own pieces of music, but face the problem that I don't have anything to make it on (just like why I make my mod games here)...

I guess I said very much there, but in my case, it all makes sense

Kj, do you have any of your stuff uploaded? :>

lol, pancake man rules.  I agree, that was dope. 

again, though, I was just saying from my experience and did reference that it wasn't sometime I was claiming was true across the board.  Maybe I'm just sour from listening to loads of people's music that stinks (not claiming to be a god or anything, but seriously, some of the stuff I've heard makes paint peel).

Agreed, and I don't disagree with anyone writing music.  Just a silly thing I jotted down that is now getting far too much seriousness applied to it.  I'm not that serious of a dude anyway, but text doesn't really convey tone and no one here really knows me yet so it's cool.

I'll even jump by and make some works of my own, 'cause I can't afford and don't have enough space for any instrments, and I won't use it that much since I'm mostly occupied by other things I think is more fun Now having said that, go play Minecraft and find out thet you like to do other things while playing and just not one thing.

There's a good amount of instrumentation you can do with little space.  What DAW are you working with and I'll see what I have or can tune you into.  As for Minecraft, meh, not a fan.  Doesn't really interest me.  I get your point though and I don't disagree.  I have done quite a lot of map making, albeit for the HL series.  I'm code retarded though, so mapping and texture/skin art is what I stuck to.

I guess I said very much there, but in my case, it all makes sense

To each their own broham.  If you are happy and love what you do, screw it, do it.  Don't let my comments let you think I'm making broad claims, cause I'm not.

Soon my friend.  I just finished putting together my new comp/studio setup so I am reworking pretty much any piece that I think merits it and writing new original songs.  I mainly do video game type music (love Final Fantasy type stuff), but I'm also getting more and more into hip hop production with a touch of euro-style trance/pop (mainly for exposure).

I will be putting up about 5 songs to start on youtube with a new tune weekly so I'm kinda awaiting mid Sept to do it.  I'll post it here though.

I have some other musical projects I'm working on too.  2 promotional tunes (one political and the other hip hop) and have a beat coming out on an album.  I've heard the rough mix and it's awesome.  I can email one or two if you are really jonesin' though

Sent.  I don't have a place to upload em so only we could hear em (semi-private).

Cool :>  Yeah go on then, it's annikk [dot] exe [at] gmail [dot] com :>

like a true programmer xD

[annikk.exe]

Oh yes, I'm executable, don't-you-know.  Maybe I contain a virus.. :P

By the way, I can confirm that Kj's music is pretty cool.. :>

Thats it! Annikk is an alien:

1. He doesn't sleep!
2. He's smart as hell!
3. He "might" contain a virus...
4. (this is true indeed!)

We must do something!

[Orion63]

He's no threat. .exe is not executable in Linux... ^^ [jk]

[Aino]

He's still an alien!
