Vocalist, Vocalist - Soprano, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard, Vocalist - Alto.ABOUT
Looking for people to jam with, hopeful for recording and a few gigs. Nothing super serious. Duo or trio. Vocal harmonies would be great,
Trying to mash folk, electronic and psychedelic together. Want to have melodic songs with opportunists to get weird in there too. Hoping to find female vocalists who can play things too. Keen to try effects and looping on vocals too.
My strengths are in the creative process, writing, arranging and playing with emotional energy over finesse. Definitely bring an energy to my music and the stage that gets attention.
I’ve been working on a guitar set up that splits signals to create multiple parallel sounds. Combining typical guitar sounds with experimental effects, guitar synth and ambient sounds. Program in ableton, can put things together that can easily be triggered by a vocalist, to maintain the legibility of playing live.
Back in the day I played at least once a weekend for about 15 years in church (guitar, bass and vocals). Have probably played somewhere around 30 gigs in other settings. Not religious now, it was just a great experience musically where I learnt a lot.
