Looking for unexpected singer and collaborator

Berkeley CA

Description

I’m looking for a singer interested in the pursuit of new songs and interesting sounds. I’m primarily a guitarist and songwriter, but have been recording music for the past few years at home playing bass, synths, samples, and drum machines as well. My ideal situation would be to find a singer interested in collaborating, whether that’s helping record each other’s songs or co-writing. I’m open to lots of kinds of music from folk to electronic, and am game to explore areas between genres. Some artists I like: Beck, Tom Waits, Talking Heads, Elliott Smith, Panda Bear, Bjork, Wilco, The xx, Velvet Underground, Sylvan Esso, Mississippi John Hurt, Zombies, Destroyer, Father John Misty, Willie Dixon, Bowie, Paul Simon, etc. forever. Eventually I’d like to put a band together and play some shows. That said, I’m in my forties and have a job and family so am not interested in things like extensive touring. The ideal collaborator would be someone serious about making good stuff, getting better, and having fun. Here are a few songs that I wrote and recorded: https://soundcloud.com/owen_otto/ghosts-are-running https://soundcloud.com/owen_otto/sea-glass https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=GT8tCvaILYU&list=RDAMVMGT8tCvaILYU If interested, please reply with some samples of your music.
