Hello all!
I've been using linux for probably 11 years now, playing bassoon for about 17 years, and electrically off and on for the last 10 years or so. Most of it has been with effects pedals and playing in jazz combos, although I've started finding solo literature for electric bassoon. I haven't been able to afford an audio interface (poor college student) so I haven't done much with electric bassoon and linux, but I got a guitar usb cord that allows me to at least start the process. My main distro has been arch, but I was having problems with getting some of the audio programs to work and thought I'd try kxstudio and see how it works. I just finished the install, so it's about time to test it out!
I'm a DM student in bassoon with doctoral minors in music theory and music history if that information is useful to anyone! Although I haven't done much in the jazz world of theory. Anyways excited to join a community that so closely matches my life!

I'm really curious what you can do with the electric bassoon. If you're looking for remote collaborators, I can contribute clarinet and/or piano parts.

Electric bassoon is a pretty cool thing, and somewhat new. You use a pickup that's attached to the bocal that goes out to a 1/4 inch plug that gets you into any guitar effect pedal. I'll see if I can get some recordings up so you can hear it!
