Post-Rock/Fusion Band Seeks Guitarist/Keyboardist/Multi-Instrumentalis

San Diego CA

Description

We are an experienced drummer and bassist who, for the past six months, have been developing a new project at the intersection of post-rock and modern jazz fusion. Our guitarist/keyboardist had to leave for personal reasons, so we seek one or two new collaborators to help shape the band’s direction. We have songs already, but intend to write many more--with contributions from additional partners, of course. We'd like to bring in a guitarist, a keyboardist, or multi-instrumentalist with strong chops, eclectic tastes, and an interest in creating innovative music that integrates many styles and influences. Our song-writing emphasizes musicianship and rhythmic variety, with lots of room exploration and improvisation. We don't envision a big role for vocals. Also, it's not a jam band. Our goal is to write, perform, and record creative music that’s innovative and ambitious—while also being fun to listen to. We do think it's possible. Our influences include Snarky Puppy, Forq, Massive Attack, Antibalas, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, The Mercury Program, Bonobo, Efferklang, Mute Math, Jaga Jazzist, Nerve, Mars Volta, Cinematic Orchestra, and Serge Gainsbourg. We have extensive experience with writing, performing, and recording, and would like to begin playing out as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time to read this ad!
