Synthesizer/Computer/MIDI workshop at a filk con?

[poltr1]

I know I'm in the minority here, since most filkers are guitarists and often play solo.

I'm a woodwind and keyboard player, and play more often in ensembles than solo. (As the button on my bass clarinet strap says, "Plays Well With Others".) I rarely get to jam at filk cons anymore because R (and M) are ready to go home around Sunday at around 2 pm. (It's M's naptime.)

I've been kicking around the idea of doing a session at an upcoming filk con (most likely OVFF) where I'd give a workshop or lead a roundtable/birds-of-a-feather discussion about electronic music in filk, demo my Minimoog, or cover the basics of composing with computer-based music tools (e.g. Cakewalk).

I know that filkertom and peteralway use computers to compose all or part of their music.

Before I go ahead and indicate my intention to the OVFF committee member in charge of programming.....Who'd be interested in attending such a session?

And I'll also ask: Who's ever heard me play and/or sing?

*sigh* It's not your fault, but that's a sore spot with me. Why do people assume someone without an instrument is a listener? What's wrong with being a *singer*, dammit?

Sorry, I didn't know you sang because I never heard you sing.

Fair enough, you probably haven't. It's a pretty general attitude though, seems like. *sigh*
