Starlit + Band in Hollywood, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

WANTED:
Seeking a music partner - revolutionary and innovative keyboardist/composer to co-create. A true a film lover, as this music is VERY CINEMATIC.

We have over an albums worth of rough draft songs with which to work (these have been created by myself and the guitarist with whom I am musical partners) with you as an equally vital partner in a keyboardist. Along with my input you would imbue the following as multilayers in a song or songs :

Big Band
Film-noir Jazz-SIN CITY & BLADE RUNNER -ESQUE
Epic sweeping multi-layered classical symphonic film score-esque
Undercurrents of Industrial, Electronica and EBM
World Music (French , Spanish, African, Celtic, Asian, Egyptian, Indian, Jewish Folk) accented throughout songs
Drums ranging from Jazz Beats to Tribal, to Double Bass to Militant.

ALL of those styles are what I mix together and all are equally important

Additional players such as multiple drummers, brass and orchestral players will be sought as band members or hired to add richness to the main sound of my vocals, the guitar and keyboards.There is a very focused yet eclectic musical vision here and songs from scratch are desired as well

Who we are :

You can hear our last CD "she was a spicy she wolf " here: ://./starlit
Though we are very proud of this last CD, in every aspect, the next sound we desire to create is far more eclectic combining a variety of styles and genres we know well and have a passion for.
We have immediate short term goals and long term goals - mainly with the goal of placing the songs in TV and film, creating cinematic music videos and selective live shows in Los Angeles.

What we are looking for :

We seek an artist who loves music and has an eclectic knowledge of many different styles like myself.
As well as innovative and revolutionary abilities and fearless commitment. Someone who is not chained by the rules of what society thinks music should be.
Someone who is not afraid of mixing styles and genres.
Someone who likes to think outside the box and who is very detail oriented like ourselves
This is NOT for anyone who would treat music like a hobby or imposes creative limitations on themselves or aims to safely create what has already been done.

We are not seeking any "hired help".
This is not a conventional "paid gig". We are looking for a musical partner, with whom we share respect and vision for the future of this project. Great success is anticipated and, when it is attained all profit shall be divided amongst collaborators equally based on work contributed responsible for that success. Until such time, all work will be "on spec".

We are looking for a keyboardist/composer to equally contribute musically, help launch any songs created and as split all costs. In-turn receive equal credits and equal pay received for the songs.
For the right person this music is to be ALL of ours in every aspect .

You will need to have a recording facility or at the very least a way to record your ideas.

You will need to have a passion and skill for many styles as we do , or at least have a great interest and easily learn the genres listed above. Artists from which to gain inspiration, but never to copy are:
Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Peggy Lee, Julie London, Benny Goodman. Sinatra, Craig Armstrong, Mark Snow, Jean Michel Jarre, Aaron Zigman & Alexandre Desplat, Bear McCreary, Robert Rodriguez and John Debney.

We work only with people who are drug-free and non-alcoholics. Whilst alcohol is not a deal-breaker, it is unacceptable to drink during sessions or whilst creating.
We seek someone who is able to keep up with the pace at which we work. Writing almost everyday on the band's songs alone, meeting with me at least once a week.
We expect it to take about week to create a song, sometimes less, sometimes a few days more but always within a reasonable time-frame. We want to do things as quickly as possible however we would never sacrifice quality (everyone needs to be doing their part consistently), to record that song the following week.
We are very serious about what we do but we love it and have a lot of fun doing it.

Please read this ad carefully before answering . Please address everything mentioned in this add and do not just skim through it .When answering this ad please send the mp3s of your work that best showcase the styles above as well as let me know any information about you that is important to what we seek in a keyboardist/composer.
