I am a composer and musician (my main instruments are the upright bass and electric bass, although I can play other instruments and sing as well). I like experimenting new things, playing in odd time signatures, playing long compositions, using techniques like counterpoint, polyrhythms, polymeters and also trying sounds with unusual instruments. I'm looking for people who are open minded about music, about composition, who are not afraid of trying new things, of playing different instruments, who are not afraid of including rock, jazz, funk and classical (or any genre really) elements in the same song. And also people who take music seriously, as my intention is to gig and record albums (I don't think of music as just a hobby, so if you do, you're not the right person for the project and I'm not the right one for yours either). As long as it pushes me out of my comfort zone and to my highest potential, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to start a new band or join one with like minded people.
PS: I can also improvise.
PPS: I also enjoy art and history, specially the events in Pompeii, the Crusades, European Medieval times (feudalism), Renaissance and the World Wars, which are things that I have used as inspiration when writing lyrics before.
