That raw sound of acoustic instruments, mixed percussion, acoustic bass, groovy, emotional, ethereal, delicate moments, grit. On the other hand: ferocity, flare and passion. That's what's going down, you think you know what I'm on about?
Listen to 'The Watershed' by Mark Hollis. That's real music right there; like rain on your window, a gentle yearning vocal amongst an intricate and deeply interesting arrangement. It's not my ambition to rip it off, but I sure do take inspiration from it, as well as a love for those MTV Unplugged sessions of 80s/90s grunge bands - notably 'the Blood' by the Cure.
I'm a lover of all sorts of music and, hopefully in some form of modesty, I regard myself as a fairly unique, stylistic songwriter, and an experienced competent singer, guitarist and bassist of alt.rock, jazz and folk. I have a wealth of interesting ideas, songs and arrangements to get the train rolling. Perhaps too many, so I'll require some level of proactivity to maintain focus.
Basically: I wish to pull together a collection of competent musicians to establish and rhythmically develop this material with me, to record, perform and cherish standing out in a crowd of all those la-de-da ska, soul and rock bands... To really captivate people and evoke feelings far beyond mindless doolally dancing.
I'm 27 and don't care about age differences, if you're retired, I envy you, more wisdom so long as you're mostly past the irresponsibilty and instability commonly associated with youth. (No offense, I've been there and done it!)
I'll want nothing as formal as an audition per say, instead, a more a relaxed jam will be the order of the day, just so we can suss each other out and perhaps find mutual grounds on which to build foundations.
Kind regards,
Sam
