I can send samples of my work if anyone's interested. It's a kind of indie/folk/rock music but I'm still looking for a sound which I hope a band and some production could give me like ambient/electronica/alternative. I work acoustic and electric and all the styles in between because I'm looking to mold myself into what a band would want and influenced by some of the members. The best thing I'm good at is lyrics and structure, I think the way the syllables jive with the beat is key, and the way the meaning of the lyrics is framed by the structure and tone of the song is what makes good music.
The equipment I have is a recording mic, audio interface (for professional standard audio), headphones, professional mixing software, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 electric, ukelele, a bass, keyboard, 1 Stagg amps and 2 startup amps.
