The Introduction Thread

[McDucky]

Fun fact: 
On 9/11/01 I was drugged in a hospital singing "twinkle twinkle litte doctor".

Hey guys! ulrira35 here with an introduction. Where to start?

I've been following NSM for quite a while. It wasn't until I met a certain staffer in-person (and quite coincidentally) when the site happened to pop up in conversation, that I decided to join the forums and start contributing. Selfish, no? Even then, it was about a year before I actually joined. I'm a trombonist and student of music composition, and a GREAT appreciator of music theory, so before I say anything else, if you've ever got a theory question I can answer, I will gladly take a shot, and maybe even spend hours and hours of time doing in-depth research as a result 

When I say I've been an NSM follower (or leech) for a while, I mean six or seven years. I was there for the domain crisis, screaming inwardly and not knowing what to do with myself without some Zelda music to play. In fact, I credit NSM with causing me to pursue music education. How?

love of Zelda -> love of music -> desire to play Zelda music -> not being able to play Zelda music without a keyboard -> getting a keyboard -> finding the sheet music -> finding NSM -->> NSM perpetuated my continued interest in music, generally.

And without all that keyboard experience, I'd've had a much tougher time in my first year of college playing the piano, and writing music for that matter. 

And that completes the "why I'm here" section of the introduction. Nice to meet you! Don't be shy in sending me PM's just to chat or for specific requests for arrangements or transcriptions (but on second thought, those are probably better posted to the forum). My game base includes a lot of N64, GB and GC games, but if I don't have the music, it really isn't that hard to find a track online and dictate it.

Aside from Nintendo music and games of all sorts, my interests include:

• Lingustic study. I speak elementary Japanese, and I'm starting to learn ASL. I've also got a rooted interest in constructed languages of all sorts.
• Outdoorsmanship. I'm an Eagle Scout, and in my adventures with my troop, I've done A LOT of backpacking, and really all manner of outdoor activities. Marksmanship, archery, water sports. Heck, I even own the Ashley Book of Knots.
• Anime. I've watched as much anime on Netflix as I can. I tend to stay away from big series shows and gravitate towards the 30-episode sort of production. I've probably seen everything with a wolf in it.
• Michigan, 'cause that's where I'm from.
• And everything else I forgot!

There you have it. I, ulrira35, do solemnly swear to post as many arrangements on NinSheetMusic as I possibly can, as soon as I can.

Once again, it's great to come out of the shadows and officially join the forums! Ciao for now.

Welcome! I'm pretty new here too, so you're not alone, but I only found out about this site 2 years ago. As for arrangements, anything is welcome! There are quite a few Zelda sheets that need replacement, but anything new is awesome as well. And, you probably know this, but notepad sucks.  If you can afford it, get finale, but anything from 2009 should have nearly the same features as something new. And a new regular forum poster is always welcome. 

[ulrira35]

Thanks!

I'm actually going to wait to post arrangements until I've got full fledged finale 2014, which I'll have by mid June. Until then I'll just doctor some things.

By the way, I forgot to mention: I'm a logophile and miscellaneous instrument enthusiast. Yes, I can play several jobs of ocarina! But I'd suppose that's less of a rarity here than elsewhere on the 'net.

[McDucky]

Awesome
Linguistics ist très 興味深い

[Maelstrom]

I've been stuck with notepad so far, but in the next week or two, I'll buy '11 from my neighbor. I just need one more paycheck..... Can't let the bank account go empty. 

And on the fixing of sheets: there's a lot that need it. I know a few if you need any

Spoiler

Hidden Village, Ganondorf (wind waker), and basically every kirby song not done by deku trombonist.

WE WILL GET ALONG JUST FINE. I love Danganronpa, Zero Escape, Ace Attorney, and Persona 4 Golden (the only game in that series I've played). If you had listed Professor Layton too I might have to kiss you.
