I’m lead guitarist and composer for Instrumental band Rumination. I am currently working with a Bass player and Rhythm guitarist and I need a drummer to really kick things off. I am eager to turn those demos into a proper project that records and gigs as much as possible. I am a very easy going guy and as much as the music is something I take very seriously, I really want to have fun with the project and the people involved.
I would say that, as well as being instrumental, it’s somewhere in the ball park of progressive/rock/metal. You can hear samples from some of the complete songs on my soundcloud account (https://soundcloud.com/crockett33/sets/solo-project). Have a listen because I think it’s a bit more palatable than that genre description would have you believe! I would say that my main influences are Metallica, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Opeth. Though how much they play into my songwriting is anyone’s guess.
Although I do all of the composing for the band, because the music is written by a guitarist there is a lot of room for stamping your own style on your parts. There’s also some room to manoeuvre in terms of the structure of the songs and things - depending on how the songs work when we’re jamming them as a complete band. Even though it’s my solo project I do relish the thought of lots of collaboration and input from all other musicians in the band (Hence why I named the band, and didn’t use my own name!)
I am not looking for virtuoso standard musicians necessarily. The music is not extremely complex and as long as you can play what's on my soundcloud you're pretty much golden!
If you’re interested in the project please get in contact.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my advert.
