About me:
- Male. 29 years old. Living in Bournemouth.
- Have played guitar for about 15 years. Mostly rock/metal. Can't shred but solid rhythm player, good with chugs, tremolo picking etc. etc.
- Also more recently enjoy playing traditional folk songs on acoustic - finger picking, arpeggios, DADGAD, etc. etc.
- Put down guitar for three years of solid piano practice; have composed a few cute tracks. Proficient enough to come up with ideas.
- Have also played bass in bands, although this was a very long time ago (10+ years). Without bass at present but in a position to pick one up if needs be.
- Decent quality bedroom-level production equipment and skills also on hand. Can put together decent sounding drum tracks.
Looking for people/groups open to playing any of the following:
- Atmospheric black metal.
- Old school prog rock.
- Prog metal (not really a fan of the djenty down-tuned stuff though)
- Ambient acoustic-y folk stuff.
- More traditional folk ballads.
- Anything post-/progressive/weird.
- Soundtrack-y, epic stuff.
- Not really dead set on following a specific genre, although I like to get heavy so I doubt I'd be too compatible with people who avidly dislike distorted guitars.
- Would be content to join existing group or build up something from scratch.
List of some influences:
- Crippled Black Phoenix
- Haggard
- Ulver
- Clannad
- Steeleye Span
- Emperor
- Ben Folds
- Camel
- Midnight Oil
- Bal-Sagoth
- Squarepusher
- Steve Wilson/Porcupine Tree
Gear:
- Ibanez electric guitar
- Vox modelling amp
- POD HD500
- A few other pedals
- Faith acoustic
- Yamaha electric piano (not keyboard - happy to consider investing in something more diverse/portable if necessary)
- A few mics/monitoring speakers/sound interface and other bits of recording gear (unused after moving to a flat with very thin walls)
Some stuff I've recorded over the years. Varying quality. Not purely reflective of current taste/skills.

I have a few other more recent bits and pieces recorded and looking to be built on. Can put them on PC and send them if interested.
Cheers,
Adam
