Studio band seeks KB player

Seattle WA

Description

We are a studio band coming out of covid hiatus. Our focus is on making records. All of us have extensive experience and have been playing for many years. Our mutual interests run towards the eclectic, so the stuff we are working on is all over the place. We currently have a dozen songs in various stages of completion that run the gamut. There is very little chance this project will generate any income. Fortunately, we don’t have to pay for the studio time. The studio where we work has a good selection of keyboards, so it is extremely unlikely that you will need to bring any equipment. Sessions are on Sunday afternoons near Ballard / Queen Anne. It would not be mandatory for you to make it to every session, but you should be willing & able to show up on a regular basis. Our line up consists of: Player 1: Woodwinds, flute, kb, male vocals Player 2: Electric violin, viola, guitar, banjo, kb, female vocals Player 3: Brass, kb, bass, drums Player 4: Acoustic and electronic drums & percussion Me: Bass, guitar, kb, & male backing vocals. I also have some ability to play alto sax, drums, & cello. I am a modular synthesist, and a highly experienced professional audio engineer. The right keyboard player would be a multi-genre musical chameleon. You should be comfortable with advanced chord structures and know how to share sonic space. A background in theory and the ability to read music would be helpful, but creativity & imagination are the key attributes we are looking for. Bonus points if your skill set also extends to composition. Extra bonus points if you read books on a regular basis, possess a fun loving nature, value wit & wisdom, and are a Carl Stalling fan. Please be able to function well in a cooperative group setting, write & remember your parts, and be willing to take direction when the writer of the song has something specific in mind.  Older musicians are encouraged to apply. Vaccination required. Note: We absolutely do not get on well with those that have extreme views or evangelical beliefs. Please do not reply in 10 words or less. How will we know how much we are going to like you if we don't know anything about who you are as a person?
