SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
I'm a musician with broad influences, although I like to play progressive rock/metal with a bit of jazz influence. I'm comfortable playing music with odd timing and key changes. I don't really consider myself as much a guitarist/bassist/any sort of instrumentalist as much as a musician, and I like to see how music fits together as a whole picture rather than how impressive a certain part of the composition is technically speaking. I realize that it can be hard to contact people on here, but you can find me on if you'd like.

A Most Unpleasant Nightmare
A Most Unpleasant Nightmare Genre: Other
Weird little song I wrote a while back, this is a more recent recording with a relatively proper mix. It was written with some certain progressive elements, e.i., key changes, elastic time signatures and what-not. This one has a bit more of an electronic element to it.

Messianic Complex
Messianic Complex Genre: Other
First time recording with my 7 string. Not the greatest recording, but I think the composition itself is pretty solid. I had to do the drums myself since I couldn't program them for this, so the timing is a bit off.
