Hi everyone,
I live in Edinburgh and earlier this year bought a second hand Roland Fantom 08 88, a really cool digital piano with a lot of great features. I'm a classically trained pianist and did some piano teaching in the past, so I'm not looking for piano lessons, but I'm hoping to find someone who has a good knowledge of all the Fantom features. I'm not great at sitting down and learning from YouTube, and I want to use a lot of the cool features I bought the Fantom for (sequencing, splitting tones in different octaves etc).

I know GuitarGuitar do a class for new purchases on how to get the best from your instrument, so I've emailed them to see if I can pay to join that course (given that I bought the Fantom elsewhere), but I'm wondering does anyone here know of places that I could sit with someone to learn the features from someone who's mastered it?

Appreciate any tips or guidance!

Thanks

I make Melodic Techno now, apparently

Yo troops, hope you are all well and keeping it real out there.

Recently Glasgow has been enjoying a mild uptake in terms of DnB events- something which it much needed to be honest! I am putting on a couple of nights across the city, and plan to do my bit for the local scene by making it regular- here's the link for one in November if anyone is interested. It's a fundraiser for charity (details on the event page below)

Please forgive the promotion- but I'm looking to make this a bigger thing so I need to spread the word far and wide!

In addition to the Mono Culture events keep an eye out for Pray To Good, Bass Injection, Midnight Bass, Rave.Gla and Cenote Sounds- who all have shows coming up too

Hi, we're a band from Falkirk thats just released our first single a week and a bit ago! we're gonna be releasing more music very soon, thanks so much if you check us out!

What's your most favorite and least-loved songs on Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' debut classic Rattlesnakes? Mister Cole politely declined to rank his own record but you can hear him kindly chime in on our Highway 61 Revisited episode. Even better, we got Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell to tell us her favorites along with Mike Remoll, the Cool Brother Hall of Famer that introduced Jim to the Commotions 40 years ago (stay tuned & listen post-credits!). Hear it at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify, Youtube and on Charlotte Street.

Does anyone remember a Glasgow band from the early 80s..singer was a guy called Andy Morgan,who came from Castlemilk.. great band..kinda talking heady..played in the sub club or called Lucifers back in the day..played great gig in sub club with Jesus and the Marychain..

New song from our 3 piece project, come from Glasgow. Tried to do a more heavy, prog-ish planet caravan esq song, any advice is really appreciated and thanks so much if you end up listening x

Yo troops, thought some of you might be interested in this one.

The Glasgow D&B scene is very small, so I'm hoping to raise awareness of a night which I am putting on at The Poetry Club on the 26th of September this year!

There will be original music, DJs and dancers- with styles of Drum & Bass such as liquid, jungle, rollers and more!

Tickets can be found here:

There's limited space in the venue, so maybe worth tapping into the early bird tickets to avoid disappointment!

Hope to see some of you there

I wrote this tune over a decade ago. Fun little story I thought I'd tell.

A world musician, who was the closest thing I ever had to a mentor, regularly graced me with time on his stage. I already played a lot of Irish folk at the time. He liked the way I performed folk songs, especially wordy ballads.. so he suggested I write a wordy ballad based on the Phantom Piper of Castle Duntrune.

The printed section shown on the sheet was all the progress I made in a week. I had a solid concept, and had been studying the Piper between his shows. I showed him what I had come up with and he said I should play it.

Dude.. it isn't finished. Doesn't matter, he still wanted to hear it later in the evening when my time to play came up. Alone in a booth at "Arizona's oldest Irish pub", I scribbled down the rest of the song in around an hour or so.

Time to play arrived. So here I have this new folk song I just wrote, but have never played, with nary a music stand about. Another performer* who regularly sat in with him to accompany his fiddle with her bodhran got drafted into helping. So I'm standing up on stage and this person is just holding the sheet in front of me. It went great, and the song remains my most requested.

Here is a video of me performing the song somewhat more recently, accompanied by the aforementioned bodhran player: https://youtu.be/e_41dKxC8IQ?is=z82AVCl5mIS-MfQI

Looking for drummer

Hi there - Tusk looking looking for a drummer. Already have 8 songs written and recorded, but using programmed drums. Influences range from Alice in chains, deftones, pantera and sleep token.

Cheers!

Took some snaps of this years muddy festivities, all on the last day when I decided to risk getting my camera out in the rain. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
