Musicians and aspiring musicians, discuss your experiences here.

After noticing that a lot of people are musicians here, I thought we'd have a discussion on your musician life, as well as your instruments.

I used to have a pretty old Fender Stratocaster that's out of commission due to physical and some other damage. I also have a Yamaha MOTIF MO6 lying around somewhere. However, it is not functioning anymore. Currently, my instrument of choice is a MIDI controller; the Roland PCR-800.

I'm an electronic/electropop musician, and therefore, I'm usually chasing after vintage synthesizers. I hope to acquire one of these, based on priority.

1. Roland JD-800 or Roland JD-990
2. Roland JP-8000 or Roland JP-8080
3. Roland Jupiter 8
4. Roland D-50

For those of you who don't know, there is a strong possibility that the electronic bass sounds you hear in some songs is produced by none other than the Roland TB-303. This gained much popularity in House and Acid.

I like Susumu Hirasawa many people seem to like it. I also like Perfume and Polysics. Anything else?

Susumu Hirasawa is my major influence. Yellow Magic Orchestra is good as well.

I like Susumu Hirasawa, he's my favorite. P-MODEL included.
But I also like Polysics and Soichi Terada. Terada-san did the music for the game Ape Escape. I've talked to him before and he's nice (FarEastRecording on Youtube).

It's a good thing that we get to contact independent artists so easily now. I've spoken to Hikaru Kotobuki through email. I also wanted to try speaking to Kenji Konishi from 4Dmode1.

I've spoken to Hikaru Kotobuki as well. He is pretty cool.

My favorite band is P-MODEL, particularly the Karkador/One Pattern era. Susumu Hirasawa comes in at a close second. I like most of his work, but I'm particularly fond of his style in his two albums, Water in Time and Space and Virtual Rabbit. Very creative and unusual tunes.

Oh I've spoken to Hikaru Kotobuki too. I've wanted to say more to him but I'm a bit shy.

I've listened to a few of their songs but haven't looked into them really.

I like them. I haven't looked into their music as much as I did P-MODEL and crew, but I have some favorites. Like Rydeen, Cosmic Surfin', Technopolis, etc.
