Hey everyone,
Myself and a singer are starting to collaborate on a synthwave project in a very similar vein to The Midnight. We’re looking for a 3rd person/producer maestro who would be interested in collaborating with us on it. Location not a major issue initially as we can share stems/ideas remotely.
Ideally you should have some strong knowledge of production and writing songs (creating hooks, melodies, catchy stuff), be comfortable working in whichever DAW you choose e.g. Logic, ProTools, Ableton, and preferably some of the technical side of creating a killer mix and master (proper EQ, compression, FX, slick automation).
And of course an interest in synthwave (particularly bands like The Midnight) and relevant major artists who dabble in synthwave e.g. The Weeknd. Any knowledge/experience of licensing songs for wider culture e.g. TV, movies, video games, is also appreciated!
Also… a strong interest in turning the project into a live act eventually and do some touring so ability to play an instrument like a synth, guitar or keys live or trigger stuff on stage and do some backing vocals would be super useful. Our goal is to turn this band into our primary income and living over time through various means (live, merch, community, licensing).
A good sense of humour and a chill personality is also appreciated. We’re all in our late 20s and early 30s to give you a sense of where we’re at age-wise.
We’re also looking at alt monetisation routes like a Patreon or Discord community and adding content there for people to pay monthly for if they dig the band (e.g. behind the scenes, show live streams, retro movie watch-alongs, podcasts, whatever it may be). I have some experience scaling my own brand on Patreon and making it my full time living, so already have knowledge on how to do this effectively.
Send any links or clips of your production and playing if you’re interested and a little bit about yourself and your goals too.
Cheers,
Rob
