[Tyrion Moontide]

Okay so I have almost no useful skills whatsoever but I have had bard chars on Miza in the past, and my current char is one as well. Because of this I was actually just thinking about a section that would have Mizahar lore friendly songs and such that could be incorporated into posts, so I felt I needed to throw in my support for the project even if I can't actually do much lol

PC Name: Tyrion Moontide is my current, Virres was my other bardish char
Want to write lyrics?: I might be able to... doubt they would be very good though
Can you sing?: Nope
Can you read sheet music?: Nope
Can you play instruments?: Nope
Can you compose?: Nope
Do you want to do administrative stuff?: Maybe
What's your desired commitment level?: Low, because I doubt I could get much more useful than that. Consider me a cheerleader for the project I guess.

And this thingis the poem/song post where I was sticking stuff that I used in my posts as Vir.

Want to write lyrics?: Yes.
Can you sing?: Yes.
Can you read sheet music?: Yes.
Can you play instruments?: I'm okay at the piano, very rusty on the guitar and flute.
Can you compose?: Very little.
Do you want to do administrative stuff?: Yes
What's your desired commitment level?: Medium to heavy for the summer, and when school starts back up I'll have to be light/medium.

Don't know if this is still going on or not, but I though I'd post anyway. I have a pretty solid voice, but no recording equipment besides my cell phone. >.< I'm pretty good at thinking up melodies and harmonies, so I'm available for that as well. This is awesome. Music is a huge part of my life and it's awesome now that I can integrate it into Miza!

1...2...3... CLEAR!

So a lot of people have shown interest in music development but there hasn't been much going on in terms of activity. And understandably so, because I don't think this has been done before on such a scale. Plus it's hard to collect everyone's ideas/abilities through pure text. That being said I'd like to offer a few possibilities we could maybe turn into agendas:

-We can start easy and simple. Maybe collaborate on one song (it could just be a cover of an old ditty or something) and see what everyone has to contribute. We could explore some instruments, harmonies, different interpretation completely online, kind of like THIS!

-We could skype, whenever! Perhaps when we feel more comfortable or have a better idea of each other's various talents. Or maybe just whenever we feel like it! It could be so much fun, just think about it

-Everyone should definitely feel free to post any little clips or ideas you have. Seriously, even if it's just 5 notes, poorly recorded, and completely random. You never know! We need lyrics/poems/ballads whatever people can come up with, too, so those are welcome as well. If you read a thread that has an interesting poem or composition created, you can also ask the player if they wouldn't mind allowing us to put some music to it. Any and all venues can and should be explored!

-Lastly, here is a quick example of total randomness, recorded on my iphone after spending a part of the morning messing around with it. Don't really know what I'm doing or what you could say the genre is but what the heck who cares

The Don't Even Know What To Call It Song

Let's make some music guys!

[Kylina]

Yay! I don't really do Skype, but I've had some ideas for random sea shanteys and work songs and other melodies that sound like certain races would make up.
