I'm a 50 year old bass player interested in putting a band together with a twist of Alternative, Indie, rock, funk, disco and synth elements (think The Ozric Tentacles) to initially jam and create original music with the possibility of performing live and recording an album.
Looking for something that can be relaxed due to work and family commitments but also productive at the same time, this may suit someone already in a band but who is looking for a new challenge.
If we are successful it would nice to play the odd gig here and there which would need to be planned around work/family commitments.
Ideally I'm looking for a synth player who can add layers of colour to create weird and wonderful soundscapes for ambient passages, use arpeggios to create extra rhythmical sounds to drive the music and who loves to experiment with sounds.
I have uploaded demos of the style I'm aiming for at https://soundcloud.com/area39music/sets/demos
Ideally looking for musicians around the same age as myself 40s, 50s (but any age will do if this sounds like you) who are also looking to do something on a relaxed level.
Musicians who can create, have ideas for original music and enjoy jamming together to create only please.
I'm putting the feelers out to see what comes back, I understand synth players are somewhat slim on the ground.
I've had interest from drummers, guitarists etc so this could move quickly if I can find a synth player.
If you are interested could you let me know what experience you have both live and studio, what your influences are and most importantly if you have any recordings of your style of playing that I can hear.
Thanks for reading.
