Looking to get a well-rounded, tight collection of songs to play at shows and record. I'd really like to focus on albums as a whole, like one piece and not just a collection of different songs. I'd like to have melodies repeating themselves and songs tying into each other a lot. And have a good build and climax in shows and on albums and in songs. Lookin for lots of dynamic control and tempo changes. I'd like to create rather simple, melodic riffs that are memorable yet strange and alternative... Hoping to do a lot of practicing/promotion/managment/production. I really wanna play some shows. Very serious if I can find the right people.

MUSIC

Second Moon
Second Moon Genre: Alternative
This song is a pretty good example of the kinda song I'd like to create except I'm the only one on it having to do everything (including program electronic drums which I'd rather have live). But it has simple melodic riffs, a dynamic build throughout the song, a sort of non-typical structure, etc whatever. Check out my myspace/shekillsforfun.com for an idea of some other ideas I have floating around. I'd want to more or less start from scratch with a new project, or in other words all the songs I have can be mutated, rearranged, scrapped, kept similar, whatever happens is cool. I just like lots of collaboration.
