Hi, I’m Alex, 26 years old.
I’m looking to start a new innovative music project with likeminded musicians, whether that’s a band, collaboration or larger collective depends on the responses I get. I’ve listed some of my influences below to try to attract people with similar tastes, but I don’t necessarily want to create anything in their styles, I’d like to push the boundaries between genres ideally, hopefully making something that hasn’t been done before. I’m not really into anything heavy or poppy so would like to avoid those areas.
I’m looking for at least decently skilled musicians, you don’t need to be an expert or have gigging experience, but I’m not looking for beginners, and you’ll ideally be able to contribute to the songwriting process in some way. As for instruments played I’m interested in working with anything and everything… guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, pianos, vocals, or even more unconventional stuff like horns and strings, producers, really anything. If you can play multiple instruments that’s even better, would be cool to be able to mix it up. I personally play guitar primarily but I work in Ableton Live making full tracks with sampled percussion, soundscapes, glitch elements, etc.
Check out soundcloud.com/alexbutterworth for my finished tracks, I’ve not put anything new out for 2 years but I’ve got loads in the works, eg this unfinished track I’m working on at the moment: https://clyp.it/user/fj1ybcwl
I've got a bunch of playing and recording equipment: guitar, bass, keyboard, mics, ableton push, some midi controllers, amongst other things
My influences range from bands to electronic producers, some of my favourites are:
James Blake, The National, Bonobo, Radiohead, Bjork, Bon Iver, Tame Impala, Apparat, Mount Kimbie, Slowdive, Sigur Ros, Four Tet, Battles, Warpaint, Can, MBV, Tortoise.
Feel free to contact me if you’re interested, send me a link to something you’ve worked on before if possible, but it’s not a necessity!
