I'm a classical piano player who has just started jamming some with my first band and I enjoy the heck out of it. I've spent some time at the pianoworld forums and did several online recitals there, it was/is is great community. I like to play Chopin nocturnes. And Schubert. And Bach. And....so on.
I probably like Pink Floyd and Bauhaus and early Modest Mouse (etc.) much more though. Love all kinds of music. I keep trying to get into jazz, and while I really *like* it, I have never fallen. I'm also a super theory nerd, a very analytical person. I was an actuary at one point.
But I wouldn't pick me to play keys in a band (yet). I need to learn so much about the gear/controller/software universe. I have a great keyboard (I think) that I received as a gift, a Roland RD700NX, but I have next to no ability to make that device achieve the universe of sounds that I hear out there. I've spent dozens and dozens of hours with a Native Instruments Maschine and also with Ableton, but I feel like a toddler when it comes to making any of this stuff actually bend to my will.
Anyways, I'm hoping that I can find some great threads that will help me become a better band-mate, help me become more of a keyboard/engineer tech type keyboard player who can really manipulate the heck out of some sound.
I'm off to search the forums, but I thought I'd say hi
