Wanted: multi-instrumentalist for a surf funk punk noise project

Citrus Heights CA

Description

Hey multi-instrumentalists, I'm looking for another multi-instrumentalist to start up a surf funk punk noise trio project. As for myself, I am a 42 year old fingerstyle slap-pop bassist who's been playing since I was 12 and been playing a handful of projects since I was 16 down in SoCal. Moved to NorCal in 2005 and have lived in Santa Rosa, Oakland, Walnut Creek and now Citrus Heights. My wife, my 19-month old son, and myself moved to the area back in March 2020 and our household has now been fully vaccinated. I am technically proficient but I prefer to shoot for melodic syncopation instead of virtuosity. I strive for heavy contrast with clean cathedral lush washes against fuzzed out dissonant passages with both traditional rock instrumentation and modified folk instrumentation in unconventional formats. Think alternately-tuned basses, ukuleles, organ synth, melodicas, musical saw, paraphonic synth, soft synths, and granular sampler synth using field-recorded sounds.  Since 2015, I have been heavily into my solo looping project and have been wanting to bring on more like-minded instrumentalists to push beyond the envelope of mediocrity and tradition. I'm just hoping to find more forward-thinking multi-instrumentalists who care more about their craft than alcohol & drug use. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out as I would love to hear what you've been working on. Bryan
