I play the sax (alto and tenor), the guitar (and bass) and the piano/other keys. I do a bit on the drums, but I'm not very good. I tend to stay away from MIDI technology, as the sound doesn't appeal to me. I have absolutely no decent recording software, as I prefer to play live. As much as I'd love to compose a complicated piece that can't be easily reproduced live, I'm just not a competent enough composer. I'll have one idea, and ten minutes later, I'll think it's shit.
I enjoy mainly to play covers. I don't compose often, and when I do, it's not so great (I did an avant-jazz piece once, which was great by my standards, but I've sadly lost the recording). Playing around with the way other people's music is played is more my kind of thing. That and sticking a first-wave ska-esque horn and rhythm section in less complicated music to create a novelty recording.
