Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Drums, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Jeweler by trade. Busy most days with many projects but I want to make more time for music. Anybody looking to mess around with something or maybe record a little thing or two, I'm down. More serious projects where rent money is involved, I don't have time for sadly.
Other than that, I have a sort of amateur studio set up, I may think about being open for low rate recording sessions. I have taken a few classes on mixing and mastering, so I'm competent enough at least for demo quality.

Influences
I am obsessed with the weird, the odd, the maximalist, the overly verbose, the rejected, the guys just trying to make the most of the gift of music.
Thank You Scientist and related bands Karmic Juggernaut and We Used To Cut The Grass, The Mercury Tree, Rishloo, Mutoid Man, The Residents, Knower and Clown Core, Polvo, Hella, black midi, Mr. Bungle, Swans, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Sigh, The Locust
but also, the classic and heavy stuff:
The redditor metal trinity (Gojira, Tool, Meshuggah), Pantera, Nine Inch Nails, Sepultura, Type O Negative, The Ocean, Neurosis, Vektor, Car Bomb, early Black Sabbath
and the progressive, the holy grail for me, getting somebody to listen to something you make for 40 minutes straight:
The Mars Volta, Yes, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion, Hiemal, Sunn o))), Steven Wilson, Yomi Ship
and many more besides. I could quite literally talk your ear off for an entire day.
