Recently released a collage of an album of bedroom-recorded music from years 2015-2018 on , , spotify, and iTunes. Links below. I play electric guitar (Fender Jag), electric bass (a cheap Hondo), electric acoustic (Yamaha) and a synth (Korg Minilogue).
I am most interested in forming a band with others who share my tastes. I'd prefer to play with a diverse array of people, prioritizing women, poc, and LGBTQ persons. That being said, if you connect with my music and think we would align musically, please reach out to me no matter who you are. Drummers and bassists are obviously a priority, but other guitarists are sought as well, especially if shared musical chemistry is strong. If you haven't been playing long, that's perfectly fine, maybe even preferable. Many of my favorite bands began with rough musical abilities and this is in line with the punk ethos.
I am a motivated and reliable person, and would like that out of anyone who reaches out to me. I don't have any time for egos and I envision any band being a democratic experience. I have a set of songs that we could learn and immediately start playing around town. If you have your own songs, that's great too and I'd love to hear them. I would encourage and prefer any members of this hypothetical band to write their own songs and contribute them towards the band.
You can hear my music at s://trainingwheels./album/ennui-collage or s:///daydreamingdude/sets/ennui-collage. This album is raw and unpolished. I released it only so that I could show of the range of my musical pursuits. Some songs are complete (Picking Off, Rolling Thunder, Eventually, Cycles, Rain, In the Night), some are bare bone song ideas (Every Day, Painting, Jumpin') and others are instrumental nuggets (Void Wisdom (a) and (b), Swamps, Signals).
Please peruse my music and reach out to me if you think we would connect musically. It is best if you can offer recordings of your own work, but we can also just jam and feel it out as well.
