We are two guitarists (aged 30) playing riffy, heavy music with ambience and dynamics. Inspired by the likes of Pelican, Intronaut, Russian Circles, Baroness, Opeth. We are looking to add a bassist and a drummer to help refine the material and get it gig ready. We have two songs so far, and have many more ideas recorded.
Our ideal collaborators would be people that want to get involved with the writing process and share some musical common ground. At the moment, we mix up collaboration via shared Ableton Live projects and jamming in person, and someone who wants to dive in to the Ableton Live projects and tear apart arrangements and add new stuff would be ideal!
Drums: At the moment, our recordings just use EZDrummer loops and mix up half time grooves, lots of fills and some pretty fast and brutal stuff. The most important thing would be an ability to really nail those grooves and be able to write tasteful, dynamic drum parts for the more ambient sections. If you can pull off the really technical stuff, that would be a bonus, but not essential. Neither of us are drummers so really looking for a drummer’s creative input here!
Bass: I’ve written a few bass parts already, but again, we would really welcome your creative input here. We tune to B, so a 5-string player might be preferable, but not essential.
You can find one song by searching for “light strike kite binary teal” on soundcloud. I can also send a rough recording of the second song on request. Ultimately, we’re not looking for this to be too serious. We just enjoy making this music and if we can make it better with your input and get out there and gig it, that would be great.
I live in Brighton and we would be looking to practice in Brighton.
Thanks for reading!
