I have to ask what style/kind/genre of music you all make.

This is a good point. I pretty much always grow to dislike signatures on forums but a single link to soundcloud, bandcamp, YouTube or Vimeo (and possibly only those as to deter marketing) as a signature on this forum could lend a heap of value to opinion based posts. That's just my opinion though!

I dunno what kind of music I make but I'm syrupcore on soundcloud. Lots of even older music at http://bridgeportmusic.com.

I really love what I'm hearing of yours @syrupcore ! thank you!!

Hmmm maybe under user profile there could be an URL field for soundcloud/bandcamp? I would be into that for sure.

I challenge you to live up to that first sentence. If only the once

Yeh! I was actually starting to google it before I finished reading the sentence!

This is so interesting! I didn't think there would be such diversity!! To be honest, if someone asked me to put into words what kind of music I make, I really couldn't answer. "It changes day to day and I have no idea what I'm really doing" is my best answer.

Throw funk, techno, pop, electro-swing and broadly viewed rocknroll in a blender and press the on button.

...and yes, great point about points of view on this forum. Most of ambient people drool (in a nicest possible way) over a piece of granular synth or convolution reverb which are completely wasted on me

Sorry.it doesn't work.search for flo200 on soundcloud.thanks!

so far, so beautiful! Blown away completely by your Little Wing improv. (always one of my life's favorite songs)! I'm so impressed... wow... thanks for sending. Will continue to listen!

I have two ongoing projects:

Igneous Flame - ambient
Formbank - quirky electronica, rather accurately described here by @JohnnyGoodyear as 'prog-funk'.

Well, the stuff I let the forum hear would be classed as 'weird crap', no doubt. But I started life in old style electronic bands (we were neighbours and sparring partners with D Mode), then moved on to psychedelic rock type stuff. Then prog, folk, bluegrass, E. European, dub, electronic and currently doing a bit with a couple of psych rock hippy bands again. My favourite is the weird iPad stuff though: personal, noisy and satisfying.

Sounds like your tunes are my cuppa tea, will soon check them out. What's your moniker up on SoundCloud?

As for styles and genres, I'm into weirder stuff as well. I work with and from everything and anything that inspires me in any way.

If you are Horse Gas, I love what I hear on soundcloud, a lot. If you aren't, I still really love Horse Gas! So glad to know about SOTMC!

touchconspiracy

I like your downtempo direction..if you can focus on that, then add those kind of atmospheres and deepness to your dnb, you will be world class mate, no lie

Yes, some of those presets in countour sunriser are mine and the artwork too...

@Matt_Fletcher_2000 said:
https://soundcloud.com/matt-fletcher-2000 (sorry!)

Gravitating to 2 styles really:

1. Downtempo electronica (some people have said like Boards of Canada... I'd like to make a track sounding anywhere near Bonobo but i'm still working on that)

2. Jazzy/spacey (liquid?) DnB (although i've taken a rest from this to work on the above)

Early on I messed around with some 4 to the floor house/techno type stuff but it always ended up sounding like very bad trance music. It's extremely easy to make bad house music, and extremely difficult to make the good stuff. So I gave up!

EDIT:

Since you talk about apps lending themselves to different styles - i'd definitely agree.

Spacey electronica: Animoog, Animoog, Animoog and also i'm liking iSem, FFTwinTwo (just set a long release and stick an LFO and delay on it), Alchemy, the granular apps and the drum synths like iElectribe, SeekBeats and ED - plus Patterning for patterns and DrumJam just because. You can also get some nice automated stuff out of Gadget. Then of course you need effects...

Liquid DnB: Z3ta is amazing for gritty bass, Thor has some lovely reece patches etc, there's a great soundpack for Sunrizer that has some great DnB bass patches that sound speaker blowing (@touchconspiracy was connected with this pack I think). Drums are really about decent drum samples. Then i feel my best tracks do something interesting and more experimental on top. I've used Orphion chopped up for a funky hook, i've used a fair bit of ethnic drums from DrumJam, i've messed with vocal sounds in Samplr and Gadget, i've made random patches in various Gadget synths that sound nice and messed up...

I'm definitely in the 'weirder' category (see below)!

I intend to make purely experimental music, imagining I’m going to create something like The Residents or Zoviet*France or Cornelius Cardew.

I end up making something fairly conventional, acceptable and commercially successful. A bit like Leo Sayer or Hot Chocolate, I think.

Confronted with this amazingness other people don’t comprehend, cognitive dissonance causes responses which sound almost like they’re saying phrases like ”boring” and “not very good” and “not finished”*, but of course, this is just a psychological side-effect, safe to ignore.

* and sometimes the quaint phrase “out of tune”, which of course has no inherent meaning. Those silly people.

That made me laugh out loud!

Excellent, Mr. 793!

I make music - no specific style or genre, just whatever happens to come out!

My main instrument is guitar - playing anything from ambient through psychedelia and pop to heavy rock and prog. I actually first bought an iPad to plug my guitar into to use as a practice and possible performance amp) but I also compose completely electronic/keyboard/experimental stuff as well. It all depends on where the inspiration takes me

Neo classical Turkish love ballads. Actually, my favorite genre, and what I aspire to make, is prog rock, but what I actually make is more...Mmmm...??

Prog Rock on an iPad can't be easy I find it hard to noodle in different keys and time signatures on these devices without midi assistance.

What kind of music myself:
Flyod-ish rock
Generative compositions which could be electronic or ambient in nature

What I'd love to achieve is Tom Waits meets Leonard Cohen with a backing track by Paul Haslinger with the occasional Art of Noise or Elvis Costello.

No doubt that the iPad is a tough environ for Prog! I see glimpses of hope, but it's still out of reach for me...and talent plays into that! Your aspirations don't sound any easier!

Not a bad choice there. I think of Tom and Lenny as two of the devils on my shoulder (there are many)
