ABOUT

Looking for a creative FEMALE vocalist to work with on some original songs....A little bit about me...I am a 40 yr old guitar player living in Apex--no kids, no wife, no drugs, no attitude, no pets and no baggage. I have been playing the guitar on and off since I was 14. I started out trying to shred like everyone else in the 80's and eventually got sick of it. So in 2003 I recorded a short strange "anti-guitar" album full of drum loops, synths, even samples from old movies as my way of rebelling against my stressful youth of trying to be a great technical guitar player (which never happened by the way).

Right now in my life I have started writing vocal songs-I have about 9-11 in the works. I recently (like yesterday) bought an acoustic/electric to finish these song ideas. I currently do not have any amps/effects but getting those soon is not a problem--I have just been in limbo lately concerning exactly what I want to do musically. Anyhow, I am not interested in shredding, instead I want each note to make sense and connect to the listener. Also I should add I am not a good singer, but I do sing on my demos--I would rather have a female to sing them.
I have a link to a 2003 instrumental CD I recorded--PLEASE be aware my musical preferences have changed since then--I am more laid back, more slow, more interested in great, soulful, spacey song construction.

Influences

I love ambient music, electronic, anything that creates a sensual, sexy or even melancholy picture. I like to make the guitar sound unnatural at times. I yearn to write music for the sake of music and not for displaying talent, looks, or any other thing superficial-I have swallowed a Muse and she is slowly gnawing her way out of me. My influences are 80's synth bands, Shiny Toy Guns, The Birthday Massacre, Sarah Mclachlan, Beethoven, Bach, basically anything except country and rap. Contact... theouterplanet at aol
