My artist name is the ‘Luxury of Being Human’. I’ve been putting together the live aspect of my project over the summer. It's already sounding amazing so I can’t wait to get the final musician on board.
You: This is a really dynamic bass role. The set is split about 50/50 into electric bass and synth bass parts so you need to feel comfortable and excited about playing both. You’ll need your regular bass for roughly half of the set and also be able to play trigger hardware as the synth bass will be sampled and loaded either via midi keyboard or something like an Ableton Push. To hear the electric bass vibe I'm looking for hit me up and I'll send it over the link . The two singles already out 'Bring Summer Back' and 'Stories' outline the more synth bass element to this role.
You can hear the first two singles recorded at Hoxa HQ, London with two Grammy award-winning producers Jimmy Hogarth (James Bay, James Morrison, Duffy, Stevie Parker, Paloma Faith) and Samuel Dixon (Adele, Jack Savoretti, Sia) on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, etc.
These are just some of the musical influences that relate to the sound of the project, (in no order of preference). It would be great if you were into these sounds too.
Disclosure, Ben Howard, Bill Callahan, The Japanese House, Mac Miller, Kurt Vile, Post Malone, Jose Gonzalez, Gypsy Kings, Lana Del Rey, Avicii, Tracy Chapman, Billie Eilish, Washed Out, Christine and the Queens, Haim, Tinariwen, LP.
If you could respond with the following:
1. A brief description of you. Your influences. Your instrument, age, how long you’ve been playing. Descriptions of other projects you have been involved in/with. Which part of London you are based in.
2. Links to Youtube, SoundCloud of your playing in video or audio format
3. Your social media links: Instagram, Facebook, website, etc (the more the better).
4. We will be rehearsing once a week in London so please give me details of what days and times you have free.
I know this will be the start of something very exciting so, I really look forward to meeting you.
