Well yeah, playing bass guitar and piano, composing classical music. Last piece was for
orchestra,
the current one I'm writing is for piano and cello.
Didn't somebody say on the list that he plays the cello?
Anyhow, lots of people how are envolved in science/engineering share music as a passion
as well.
Yes, although I'm surprised more people on this list who are musically inclined
never got into electronic music (both composing and designing
software/hardware). At least, most of the people who have spoken up haven't
said so.
I sang concert choir for a long time throughout school and was eventually
invited to sing a John Rutter piece at Carnegie Hall, a moment I will never
forget. Dropped singing altogether once I hit college though. But what I have
always loved is coaxing music out of computer that were never meant to do it.
Music Construction Set is a high point of my childhood -- 4 seperate voices
(using Pulse-Width Modulation, I guess?) out of the 5150 speaker. Using such a
pure instrument -- where each voice is exactly the same timbre -- really helped
me appreciate classical music, for example.
