UK Based Solo Instrumental Musician / Composer / Producer.
Style: An eclectic mix of Modern and Classic 70's/80's Electronic / Classical / Ethnic / Folk / Rock / Pop influences 60's-00's...
*Now Seeking*:
Female Vocals/ Lyrics / Backing Harmonies / Spoken.
Currently I am working on bringing an album to fruition, with the general theme being journeys : literal, emotional, and spiritual. I am looking to collaborate online with other musicians; namely a vocalist / lyricist with good ideas for backing harmonies and an electric guitar / acoustic guitar player.
*Requirements*:
1. Must have access to your own recording setup and equipment, a reasonable degree of talent and spare time, a passion for what you do and not just into one style of music.
2. Not all pieces require written lyric vocals, though most do involve ethereal backing and harmonies, with some spoken elements in places also. If you have good lyrical ideas to bring to the table that you think would work well with current pieces then that would be great.
3.You must be able to point me in the direction of some examples of your playing / singing. It does not have to be proffesionally done, but I need to hear if what you can offer will be what I'm looking for
5.The only other real requirement is that you have a listen through the demos and only contact me if you really like what you hear and genuinely want to become part of the project to bring out the best in the music.
*20+ DEMOS and Ideas*
I currently have around 20+ demos and roughed out sketchpad pieces, which you can have a listen to at the link below. Most currently lack polish and mixing /production (and good playing)! as the main aim was to get the esscence of the ideas out in some form as quickly as possible.
I am not a professional musician and this has been an ongoing labour of love studio project, where doing as much or as little to make the music the best it can be is priority. Though there is no current deadline, record deal waiting etc etc ,hopefully with the addition of the right people, this will embellish and add a new dimension to the music, and will move things forward towards completion. What will be will be from there!
The music is quite varied in style, emotional, and moody. It is *not* cutting edge experimental chart pop music, leaning more towards a mix of soundtracks / themes/ tv / film / even a bit of stage musical in places.
