Hello all! I am a 27-year old musician and composer who is looking to form a band and start getting gigs going as I've always wanted to get my music out there. I compose and write a wide variety of genres from electro-swing to orchestral and alternative rock arrangements. Here is one of my most well known songs, Emerald Swing. I would absolutely love to plan a jazz-fusion/rock band arrangement of this song!

I have an HND in Music and a BA in Sound and Music for Games and have experience in working for Media Molecule/Sony Interactive. My first instrument is the piano, but I also play the guitar, drums and can sing~
I am looking for experienced musicians who are between the ages of 22 to 35 who can play intricated, syncopated melodic and harmonic sections. Good sheet music reading would additionally be a plus as most of the separate instrument sections will be directly transcribed to sheet. However if you have a good ear but cannot read sheet music you will also be considered!
I am primarily looking for:-
- A Jazz/Prog Rock experienced Drummer who can play with brushes
- A Bassist who can play either the electric bass or double bass (preferably an electric bass player and a double bass player separately)
- A Pianist
- Two Clarinettists
A Trumpet player and or Saxophonist
- Two Violinists/ Fiddle players
- 3 Female Backing Singers
- Percussionists who can shake shakers as part of the percussion and do claps and click accents with their hands
- A Triangle player
