Had this great idea, there's probably quite a few of us on Facepunch who know how to play a musical instrument, and I'd like to start the Facepunch Orchestra, as the title says, playing great video game music with our own mouthes :D. I've got plenty of great songs to construct, now I just need the man power and the will to put together our first song. The first song I'd like to play would be [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVF5NTsM1as&feature=related[/url] It's an interesting song which i'm working on the sheet music for now. To apply for facepunch's orchestra simply do the following. Post in this thread with the following format. [code] Name: Instrument: Years of experience: I confirm I have a webcam/audio recording software: Y/N [/code] Let's get to this song and start playing! EDIT: Gonna take me a long time to get that youtube video into sheet music, let's get one that's more clear and sounds just as cool :D.

Does it have to be instruments in orchestra's? Cause I would so play guitar in this :D
Guitar sounds good depending on the song, so no it doesn't need to be orchestra instruments.

[url]http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/139468[/url][/QUOTE] I've PM'ed the author to the sheet music on the newgrounds link, hopefully he'll give us permission to use it, for now I've got a small song that's interesting because it contains a large variety of orchestral instruments. I'll post a link to the sheet music shortly. [editline]01:18AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Blah360;17459551]Does it have to be instruments in orchestra's?

Yes, I can play Electric Bass, and I have a bass Name: Arty/Blah360 Instrument: Guitar/Bass Years of experience: 6 years on guitar, Bass I know because of guitar :P I confirm I have a webcam/audio recording software: Yes. [editline]07:40AM[/editline] Wow, Paid In Blood is an epic song :D
mhmm, anyways the sheetmusic for one of the songs I have is pretty long for electric bass, i'll try and send you the file for a program called notation because it's easier to read it in there.
