I'm a 50 year old bass player based in the HD8 postcode area but can travel, interested in putting a band together with the influences of Space Rock, rock, funk, psychedelic and Metal (in the style of The Ozric Tentacles) to create original music with the view to performing live and recording an album.
Looking for something that can be relaxed due to work and family commitments but also productive at the same time, this may suit someone already in a band but who is looking for a new challenge.
The aim would be to perform live, record and release what we create, which would need to be planned around work/family commitments.
I'm looking to start by finding the right drummer who would along with myself would be the backbone of the rhythm section, I'm looking for a drummer who can be creative and enjoys instrumental music and create passages for a synth player and a guitarist to play over adding layers of colour to create weird and wonderful soundscapes for ambient passages, use arpeggios to create extra rhythmical sounds to drive the music while experimenting with sounds and adding melody.
I have uploaded a demo of the style I'm aiming for at https://soundcloud.com/area39music/captiveaudience10demo
Ideally looking a drummer around the same age as myself 40s, 50s (but any age will do if this sounds like you) who are also looking to do something on a relaxed level.
A drummer who can create, have ideas for original music and enjoy jamming together to create only please.
If you are interested could you let me know what experience you have both live and studio, what your influences are and most importantly if you have any recordings of your style of playing that I can hear.
Thanks for reading.
