About Me

Me in my lair. The clutter helps me create.

 About me (the basics)

My name (as you could probably gather from the title of this webpage, as well as the url) is Kylyn Small. I've been playing music for about 8 years now (only 2 or so of it being guitar), and have always loved it. I didn't start actually writing music until the Spring of 2007, but I am having a blast with it so far, and want to improve my skills. That's basically why I formed this site. As I'm working on songs, and recording them, I will post them here; they will be in the public eye, fully open to anyone who wants to listen, and presented for critique by the masses.

 

FAQs (okay, so nobody's asked me these yet, but they might!)

 

What kind of music do you listen to?

 

My musical tastes cover such a wide range (both genre and artist-wise), it's impossible for me to pick even a top-ten list of favorite bands; and they change constantly. So instead of a concrete list, this is a widget that shows my weekly top artists (which is who I've listened to the most in the past week).

 

Genre-wise, I'm about the same; although a majority of my music is alternative rock and indie rock/pop, I also listen to ska, blues, electronica, hip-hop, and various other random genres like that. Generally though, I do tend to stay away from country and rap. It just doesn't appeal to me.

 

Why didn't you take into consideration my suggestion/complaint?

 

Oh, but I did young one. Keep in mind that just because I didn't use  your suggestion/complaint, doesn't mean that I didn't spend time analysing, and considering the value of your statement. I only rejected the idea that you presented, not the gesture of you presenting. I still love you and appreciate you for that; just not as much as the ones that give me useful ideas.

 

What instruments can you play?

 

I am going to list them chronologically, in the order that I learned them. Clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, oboe, guitar, bass, mandolin, and ukulele.

 

How long have you been growing your hair/how tall are you?

 

This is one that I'm actually quite frequently asked, although you probably wouldn't think to ask them unless you saw me in person. My hair has been growing nonstop and split-end free for about 4 years now. I am 6' 5".

 

Hey! I heard that you also did a bunch of electronica music a few years ago!

 

Not a question, so I can't answer it. I can, however, provide you with this link (yes, those are all my arrangements using downloaded samples.)

 

Can you autograph my illegally made cd/fan-made t-shirt with your face on it/promotional poster/baby?

 

Gladly, but you have to catch me first.
