A friend of mine asked me how easy it is to find live musicians to collab with on BotB. But so far, I'm not sure if there's a practical way to find out who plays what. Let me know if there is.

But if there isn't, that's what this thread is for (and more).

If you are interested in collabing, what instruments can you play?

Even if you can't play a live instrument, what else can you do?

Favorite formats to collab with?

Are you very interested in collabing or it depends?

actually, i could see this being a feature request type of thing. like if you want to collab on entries or something, you can put a collab status on your profile or perhaps a little thing showing what formats you'd want to collab on, per see.

anyway, collab status.

can play:
1. trumpet
2. keys (kinda, inquire for details)

fave formats:
1. gb/lsdj
2. nsf, or anything which you can do in famitracker or its forks
3. s3xmod or any of the tinymods

formats i'd like to try out/get more experience with:
1. doom
2. smw
3. amigamod

interest status:
would totally be down for collabs. a little busy with finals these days but totally chill over the summer

i'm generally open to collabs if i feel like both me and the person/people i'm collabing with have styles that could work well together or make for something interesting
i don't have instruments on me, so i can only do sequencing or minimal (important, i'm not a skilled performer) live recording using my midi controller
i think it's no mystery that i specialize in ambient stuff, not much else to explain there apart from suggesting listening to what i've made
with formats i'm not too flexible. it really depends on what i feel like doing - allgear is obviously doable, i can also do s3xmodit/mptm/mod*k (for s3xmodit and mod*k - .it format only. sorry to those who prefer the other formats). another option that is really unpopular but could make for something cool like the collab between dami and kleeder would be bytebeat - i'm pretty comfortable with coding stuff for it, so if you feel like you wanna write some music for some cool custom player then sure, let's go for it! (i'd assume it's obvious but i'm not restricted to ambient in that particular case - i can write pretty much any player for that, as long as it's not too complicated)

i can play the bass guitar pretty well. i also play a bit of electric guitar, harmonica and accordion, although im worse at those by a significant amount, so im more limited in range with what i can do with those. i can also sing a bit and am absolutely down to get more practice in by singing on ppl's stuff! im also open to try any format. personally i find it much easier to tackle new formats if im making something with someone else!

I'm pretty good at composing in general, but I'm especially good at bass lines, drum patterns, and interesting chord progressions.

I'm also a decent illustrator and in the eyes of some a very competent writer.

I'm most comfortable with famitracker, openmpt, Mario paint composer, and reaper.

My main instruments are keys and bass, but the keys are my best by far

Oh right and I'm a classically trained baritone so I'm pretty good at singing too

collabzzz

1. I can play piano well but can't read sheet music well. I mostly just go off learning how it sounds. I own a acoustic guitar and bass but I can't play them anywhere as well, if simple stuff is needed though it'll probably suffice.

2. Generally I'm good at making synths, good at writing solos, and working with weird rhythmic stuff.

3. JummBox. I use Ultrabox for all my standard stuff, been using it for 5 years, I know it like the back of my hand. I'm happy to help with literally any JummBox or help with using it. Unfortunately it's my speciality. Allgear/FakeBit/Wildchip/Remix is also my kinda shit.

4. I am fairly interested, I generally have the time to help out or write whatevers needed all I ask is to be communicative when collabing.

(maybe) houstontracker II? >:]

I could try recording some guitar or keys for you if you would like... I pretty much have my casiotone at the moment but I think I could conceivably get piano access as well... I'm a "very ok" reader and of course I can come up with things

This is me:

I love percussion, am schooled in drums and beat them almost every days. But I also love to jam on the piano/keyboard (which I've recently been taking classes in) and can nibble the U-bass a little (and picked up the nyckelharpa recently, but I am no smooth on it)
As I know keybed and percussion, I can play the vibes, marimba and xylophone, but I don't own any of them, soo yeah.

I can work the DAWs Cubase and Live (and the FL Studio versions that was out around 2012-2013), the trackers OpenMPT and Furnace, and write scores in Musescore (still not entirely sure about how sharp & flat works and relates towards each other, even less their double-variants)

I love the formats OpenMPT, Allgear, s3xmodit, *kmod, wildchip, fakebit, YM2151, Furnace, VGM, photo, MSGS, MT-32, XG, SC-55. Some of these which I haven't even entered yet, but some of I have material for.

Right now, I might be busy from time to time, as I'm bad with effective planning (adhd issues lol), but I always appreciate a chance for collab.

HERE is the old thread about instruments played by botbrs

im probably not able to do any kinda collaboration for a while, but i play bass (primary instrument, used to gig a fair bit and taught privately), guitar (including 7 and 8 string), mandolin, mandola, theremin, and limited banjo and drums. I also sing and do other vocal things
and do live electronics of different types.


Id like to some day do some collab with botbrs... maybe some day
