Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Other Percussion, Other, Lead Guitar, Keyboard, Drums.ABOUT
I am a bass player/musician looking for other musicians (drums, guitars, electro/synth) for a new project. I am 28 years old with 14+ years experience on the bass and as an active musician. I'm looking for musicians (drums, guitar, synth/electronics) to put together an Atmospheric, Dynamic, Heavy, Post-Rock/Metal/Drone/Ambient project. The things that I am really looking for in collaborators would be solidity and consistency in playing, ability to create great tone(s) and dial up those tones, switch back and forth between tones, etc. And I REALLY want people that will be able to appreciate the open space in the music. I do not want a guy that will be playing all the time.This project will have a strong DIY foundation, from self-promoted and self-created shows to self-released music to merch/packaging/promo/etc. But, of course, there needs to be music first. And for there to be music there needs to be musicians.
Recommended listening material for reference:
Primary:
Isis "In the Absence of Truth"
A Storm of Light "And We Wept The Black Ocean Within"
This Will Destroy You "This Will Destroy You"
Neurosis "Given to the Rising"
Secondary:
NIN "The Downward Spiral"
Deftones "White Pony"
Godspeed! You Black Emperor
. . . . .?
Be prepared to play your guitar(s) in Drop-D or (more likely) Drop-C#.
Core principals behind this project:
1) Create emotional and dynamic music that will be definitely heavy, definitely emotional and definitely dynamic.
2) Create something new/experimental, i.e. not do the same old sh*t.
3) Incorporate visuals such as projected images/footage into the live show.
