Played trombone and tuba for a couple years each. I’ve taken a liking to composing these days, which often feels like playing a whole orchestra as an instrument. 🙃

Composing is being on a whole different level with how you approach music! And with the availability of software instruments it has become within reach of a single person to create like that.

Yeah, it’s definitely more puzzle than improvisation. I think, it mainly feels like playing a whole orchestra to me, because trombone and tuba are so limited in what you can do on your own, since you just cannot produce intervals then. And then as you say, being able to just write down that I’d like a beautiful chord progression, that is very powerful and fun.

Piano + keys/synths, guitar, bass and started drums this spring as I found some good deals on e-kits and managed to clear up some space in the already full man cave.

Piano - main Organ - trying, piano skills really help. Trying to play a left hand piano part that does not play the same note as my feet is hard when it comes to getting both right. I guess I’m just essentially going through another version of learning hand independence on piano, except with left hand being independent from feet: bass independence lol Flute - not very good but it is fun Singing - not very good but it is fun Trumpet - despite my lack of intentions to annoy others, I am essentially this person. I’m trying.

limb independence is the hardest part of any instrument it seems. With playing drums it’s also throwing feet in the mix (which applies to organ as well).

That is a bunch of instruments you play!
