SEEKING

ABOUT

Seeking to start an inspired, versatile originals band. I had in past lives mostly play rock n' roll but more recently have ventured into electronic, world pop and other genres; whatever sounds good when I play it. I create and compose music on Logic Pro and Ableton. With past bands I had often taken popular and b-side deeper tracks and had fun stretching them out sometimes tweaking them with extended experimental, ambient yet danceable jamming, making the experience our own.

I have been playing guitar for a long enough time to have become confident and develop my own sound. I have a lot of fun playing, I am easy to get along with and can meld easy with lots of styles. I am very committed to rehearsing to improve my craft.

I am seeking a solid drummer and bassist who can work together and play deep in pocket. I am seeking a piano, keyboardist, sampler expert. People who can sing as while playing is a bonus, as I am a fond of vocal harmonies.

Best to you all.
