I play guitar (8 years), bass (6 years), and drums (a little under 2 years), as well as dabble in flute, piano, and recorder. I'm really into folk and prog rock to listen to, but really enjoy playing folk and jamming the blues and classic rock. Also, I'm always down to jam!

I play the violin- 10 years. I also play all the other stringed instruments (cello, viola) but don't actually own any of them except for the violin. I was trained classically but love modern violin music and improvisation. Have always wanted to pursue rock violin. I am looking for people to play with as it is hard to find anyone so let me know!

I like heavy rhythyms/riffs. I tend to embellish riffs with pinch harmonics and licks. I like interesting sonorities and I tend to arpeggiate a lot (both attributes are Friedman Cacophony-influenced). I also like standard rock stuff, bending, pentatonic licks.<br />

My main instrument is my voice -- 6 years experience in large choirs, musicals, a capella, pick-up bands, and (most recently) De Anza's top vocal jazz ensemble, Vocal Flight.<br />
<br />
I used to play violin in 5th and 6th grade and I recently purchased a viola -- teaching myself currently and intending to join De Anza's orchestra next quarter.<br />
<br />

I've always been into drums / rhythm instruments, but have never had a legit drum kit to work with -- I use whatever's at hand. My main inspirations in this regard are Blue Man Group and Stomp - both of which I'm intending to audition for at some point in my life.<br />
<br />
I have also been collecting some odd little instruments recently that I've had a lot of fun playing around with: I got a glockenspiel, a Hohner melodica, and a set of kashaka/ aslatua/ banakula (a sick shaker/polyrhythm instrument from Ghana).<br />
<br />
Within the past few years I've also photographed a few shows of local rising bands (most notably Alma Desnuda) with good results -- if any of you need a photographer keep me in mind. :-) I've only been involved in mu…tag:baparkour.ning.com,2009-05-21:2070047:Comment:485092009-05-21T16:51:41.722ZKeelerhttps://baparkour.ning.com/profile/KeelerMarkle
I've only been involved in music for a couple years, but it started by me managing for a very very talented band of a couple of my friends that I shortly after lived with. So my life was just packed with music for about a year and a half, maybe two. I play almost entirely by ear and where the music takes you, but I am also actively adding to my knowledge of music theory.<br />

<br />
Vocals - Instrument of choice. Always have had a fascination with awesome singers. So I think I was secretly studying singers without realizing I'd ever be able to reproduce it. Comes in handy now though. ;)<br />
<br />
Bass - Probably my most solid physical instrument. I play by ear where the song leads me, and it's nice that bass allows me to just fall back on a couple single notes to get back in the groove without messing anything up or having to remember a guitar chord I'm not sure of.<br />
<br />
Hand Drums - Kinda my first actual instrument I got in on. My fingers know how to keep a beat and make some flavor.<br />
<br />
Guitar - Fairly inexperienced, just considering how ridiculous some people can get at guitar. But if you've got a good melody going, I can usually find it.<br />
<br />
From there, pretty much anything that makes noise, I'll feel it out and put it in key and tempo with the group. So if there's no need for anything fancy, I have some experience on piano, synth, drum set(metal particularly)<br />

Improve and realbook stuff? Or fakebook, whatever you want to call it. DnB is the equivalent of Parkour, lol.
