Current bass player for Build an Empire - our first show will be opening for Norma Jean at El Corazon on March 15!
I'm on here for help as well, though. I'm a multi instrumentalist with genre versatility and powerful vision and ideas. Looking for musicians to help me bring those ideas to life, and I'm also open for studio/stage sessions.
My style itself is very eclectic, usually being rock/metal based.
One thing I am definitely not is a sound engineer - though I have decent quality DAW and plugins, I'll be the first to admit the sound quality that I record is not to the standard I'd like, but at least you'll get the feel.
What I bring to the table:
Ideas, riffs and/or lyrics for 4 completely different projects with a range of progressive metal (if Meshuggah, Hans Zimmer and Neurosis were to make a film score together - very thematic material, and 2 album ideas fleshed out already), electronica, atmospheric rock, even eclectic pop.
You're probably thinking, this guy does more than he knows what to do with, and you'd be absolutely right!! I have more than I know where to put and how to package, and that's where I need help. I've compartmentalized my projects at this point, and want some open minded musicians to help these ideas come to life.
What you'd bring:
Honest interest in any (including multiple) of the projects.
Willingness to learn and pitch ideas (my main interest is in the unique and best expression of the ideas; I'm not a control freak).
Ability to learn quickly and practice regularly, even if it's over Skype or some other method.
That's it. If any of that resonates, let me know!

Triquetra Year: 2018 Genre: Metal
Eluveitie meets early In Flames. Forgive the noodling solo; it was improv in one take. Drums are based in Logic Pro. I personally would have handled them differently. (i.e., not wed to the beats)
