The Dark Star + Band in Las Vegas, NV

SEEKING

ABOUT

I Am The Dark Star. Though I play music, I do not think of myself as a musician. Though I entertain, I do not think of myself as an entertainer. Rather, I think of myself as a manipulator of energy. Though my music is complex, it is as simple as walking across a room for me because I flow with the energy, rather than rely on the limited energy produced by my body. As I flow in this energy, I paint the story of my experiences in this reality with a landscape of music. On multiple occasions, audience members have told me that they can see the energy flowing from me as I perform.

Influences

My music is entirely an expression of self. It is an expression of my own unique persona and it's perspective to the experiences I have had in this reality. There are no influences from any other creators. The only influence on me is the energy through which I flow.

Members Of Band

The Dark Star.
Still looking for the right drummer and keyboard effects person. The drummer and synthesizer player that I seek will be able to learn how to play their instruments as I play mine. I transcend music and push and pull energy into and along my instrument, texturing the sound by the way that I manipulate the flow of energy. I can guide you in this. I do not expect that there is anyone out there already playing this way (but I could be wrong). I can show you how to transcend music and pull energy into
and across your instruments. I will present a general structure, but YOU will be a creative force, adding the flourishes to the texture of the music from your OWN self-expression. We will be at the same energy level, but performing our own uniqueue functions on our own instruments, giving a solid cohesion and a powerful sound. All of those really cool styles, riffs and techniques of others that you have mastered, you can leave at the door. There is no place for them here. You will be expressing self - your self - genuinely, and with your entire being. No variations of ... no tributes ... no "my version" or re-arrangement. Every note and every phrase will be an original expression of self. The best part is - its natural and easy to do. If you looked at the minute details of how I play, to learn to play that way from a musical approach, would seem to take an eternity of practice.
I don't really practice. I just do. Whether in front of a packed auditorium or alone at home, I am full-on
when I play. Playing the way that I will show you, takes away all of that potential learning curve. By
approaching it from a different perspective, for you, it will be as natural and easy as speaking. The time is now. What I/WE will demonstrate to the world on stage will be much more than the music that they will hear. The music is a bit dark for the first songs. However the songs that deliver the message (the majority off the songs) are literally out of this world. In both cases, the ROCK! I am doing this NOW. If you have at least mediocre skills and can maintain a decent roll (for the drummer), don't miss this life-changing experience.
