SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking for a members to form an original band keen to push the limits - exploration into various sounds, rhythms, grooves, textures and genres, whilst still having a strong foundation in songwriting, musicianship and accessibility for the audience.

A band where "thinking outside the box" is the norm and the audience is invited to explore sonic landscapes through curiosity, joy and wonder that is not reliant on grasping familiarity. Basically want to melt some audience faces whilst being humble and giving them something to latch onto.

I have a home studio where we can rehearse and record (still getting set up with some gear) but keen to get cracking nevertheless. The idea is to have most gear set up ready to go so there is no need for bump in and bump out.

Looking for bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, percussion but also open to other instruments, as well as electronic elements. If you’re a multi-instrumentalist and can sing that’s a bonus!

Whilst writing and performing new material, I would also like the band to be the centrepiece for a project which I am relaunching post COVID. Details below:

Already have a few songs written and some recorded - including collaborations with Grammy award winning artists such as Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Looking for committed players who are interested in fusing genres, indigenous instruments and world sounds.

About me: I was born in Brazil, raised in Australia and have indigenous roots into the Amazon. I’m using music as a way to unite cultures with big, epic soundscapes and having fucking fun along the way!
