Hey there, music lovers!

I really like your attitude and would like to join your ranks and conquer the skies together.

I'm a somewhat intermediate player. A decent grasp on the mechanics, but far from veteran, due to time contraints. I'm mostly playing engineer, but can assist with the other roles if needed. I really prefer voice-chat to typing and would also gladly use teamspeak if you have that.

For what it's worth, I'm a hobby DJ (occasionally in clubs or at parties) playing mostly Electro-Swing atm, but used to play various genres depending on where I was (Charts, Electro, Dubstep, DnB/Neurofunk). I'm not stuck on EDM, so I also enjoy Australian hip-hop, certain rock and metal bands, classical music and many other things. What I want to say is, I'm a music nerd and would probably fit well with your crew.

One caveat I have to add is, that my playtime fluctuates pretty wildly. Some weeks I might be online almost every day, some weeks you won't see me much at all. Hopefully this is not too much of a problem.

Bonus: An electro-house mix I did quite some time ago

edit: I forgot to ask: Are "bass cannon" jokes still ok, or have they been beaten to death already?

Someone invited me to a lobby the other day and to my surprise... a DJ (I think Cavalry) started playing Jewish dubstep.

Needless to say, that dank music was the highlight of my day. He mentioned a Spotify at the beginning of the match, anyone have that?

♫/♫ would follow.

In my almost a month membership as a bard, I have had the most fun I have ever had my nearly 400 hour crusade looking for fine music and of course Skywhales.

Here is a highlight from a few days ago in which Myself and Other Bards were messing around on a Spire playing random tunes found on the interwebz

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_TDk0TrskE"

We ever threw a party for a promising member whom had wanted to be a bard for weeks after being virtually the last member of his previous clan!

Enjoy!

Hi! I'm interested in joining The Bards.
A little bit about me: I'm 14 and a huge gamer girl and artist. I play as many games as I can, and I also play piano, draw, and write. I also do graphics for people's YouTube channels. My music tastes are quite well rounded: I like every Nightcore, and also love rock, classic rock, alternative, metal, heavy metal, some pop, and the list kind of goes on a little more. I can be a little anti-social, but once I get to know people, I tend to be a kind of animated person.
Why I would like to join: My whole life I've played games solo because my brother never really had time to play with me. I recently joined Guns of Icarus, and loved how the community was so awesome and welcoming to new players. So I wanted to be a part of it and bam, I found this.
That's it and have a good day!

[ShadedExalt]

I have no authority to let you join, but I'd let you in!

[Slagenthor]

Ahoy Bards!

First off, I love the name. From what I've seen, I also love the demeanor that you guys have. My name is Slagenthor (not IRL of course), and I would be extremely interested in learning the game at your hands! I've been a competitive gamer for quite some time, though I am only 20 years old. Darkfall is my most successful game of note. I have TS3, Vent, Mumble, you name it! Let me know if you guys would be interested in giving me a shot at becoming one of the blessed Bards!

My steam name is: Two Strizzy

[Laffter]

Love you guys and all you do.

[The Mann]

Feelin' the love! <3

Always willing to bring a smile and some fine tunes!

Good morning gentlemen,
I am a new player of guns of Icarus (20 years old) and looking for some friendly people to team up with. So finally I got here and read your very inviting thread and now want to apply for membership in your clan.
I play the piano (and I did play the organ for some time, but was forced to quit, since lectures are usually at the same time as the free practice times). Someday I want to switch to the harpsichord and maybe add another instrument (maybe a shawm?).
I primarily hear old music (i.e. Palestrina, Rameau, Telemann, Bach, Handel, Praetorius, Desprez etc), but not exclusively.
My favourite piece of music...difficult question. Depends on my mood, but there are some candidates in a closer selection:
-Bach - Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jh-riSkA2A
-Lully - ballet de la nuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmNAvgQ9ZjY
-Palestrina - Missa Papae Marcelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRfF7W4El60
-Händel - Zadok the priest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiXgOQ9_-RI
My Steam name is "Zadok the priest", too.
I apologize for eventually bad English, since I am not a native speaker.
