Hey there!
I'm not sure if this is the best site to look for this - if you have any other suggestions please do let me know!
Rather than looking to join a band, I'm looking for one or two people to write, produce and release some songs with. I get a lot of joy from that creative process and conversely I'm finding the rewards of being in originals bands are diminishing as time goes by. That's not to say I don't like playing live - I love it - but if we go down that route then I would rather concentrate on the creative process and get a bit of buzz online, then find some live musicians and play gigs later.
I play keyboards/synths/piano, drum machines, guitars, bass and sometimes real drums. I like to arrange and produce and really enjoy the music theory and tech side of things. I have some mixing experience and this is an area I am working to develop. My weaknesses are singing and lyrics, so I am very much looking for somebody to fulfil those roles. If you have any other skills e.g. photography, social media or graphic design then these would be very welcome too!
If you are an established singer/songwriter then I am happy to work more as a producer and release material under your name.
Ideally you're also closer to my age (29) than half or double it, have a bit of experience in bands or in the studio and have time for 1-2 sessions a week, but all these things are flexible.
I deliberately haven't mentioned a genre or a long list of influences because I am very open-minded about this. Let's chat about the music we love and find some common ground, then talk about what we want to create.
Cheers
