I consider myself a multi-instrumentalist, with guitar as my main squeeze. I can play some bass, drums and keys, drum machine, and computer. I'm working on my singing, with the goal of doing some backing vocals.
What I really want, and crave even, is another multi-instrumentalist to collaborate with. Creating music together, bouncing ideas off each other, hearing the sum become more than the parts - that's the magic right there.
I'm great at coming up with riffs, loops, motifs ... parts ... I've got a million of 'em. Are they all destined to be number one hits? Ha! No. But I have a tendency to think of a new one before fleshing out the last one. Do you do the same thing? We could work on this stuff together, and make something real out of it!
Right now my favorite thing is rock laced with electronica. I have a sound cloud account where I've uploaded a bunch of my ideas - please note that I tend to record this stuff about 10 minutes after I think of it, so it's pretty rough around the edges, but it should give you an idea of where my head's at.
I haven't played out in years, and that was all on acoustic guitar. My goal is to create some cool tunes, record them, and play them around town. I'd love to practice together at least once a week, if not more, and prefer daytime, but night could work, too. I don't care how old you are or what your preferred gender pronouns are, who you love, or what you eat. Please just be open to practicing on a schedule, be able to support yourself, and be willing to not smoke anywhere near me.
