Hi!
I'm 23 and play guitar and keyboard/synthesizer and write a bunch of (instrumental so far) stuff. Not sure what genre it is (hence the really unclear post title) but imagine a mixture of Cardiacs, Andrew WK and Muse at their cheesiest/most synth-heavy.
Here's a sample of some demos I've done recently - apologies for the ear-bleeding mixing job, I try to go for a sort of layered maximalist thing but it inevitably just comes out a total mess:

Looking for pretty much anyone - guitarists, keyboard players, bassist, a drummer (or someone who knows how to work a drum machine), who can help write stuff in this same sort of vein - also bonus points for someone who can sing and/or write lyrics, 'cause I can't do either sadly. I've tried. And it wasn't pretty.
Currently have an assortment of gear that seems to get the job done, but not much in the way of transport right now, so I imagine for now this will be much more of a sharing ideas, writing stuff together, sitting around in bedrooms faffing about with microkorgs and guitar pedals sort of deal. I mean, once we get a bunch of songs together I'd love to play some gigs etc. but maybe focusing on just writing stuff together initially.
Music-wise, my other influences include The Wildhearts, Foetus, The Stranglers, Magazine, Extreme, Pulp, Devin Townsend, and a whole pile of other punk/metal/grunge/90s alternative stuff too. Anything goes really, as long as it isn't utter cack.
If all this sounds like your sort of thing send me a message on here and I'll get back hopefully pretty quickly. I check my messages on here every couple of days or so.
