Drummer/guitar player looking for collaborators

Aurora CO

Description

I really miss making music with other people, I moved here from Philly last summer and want to start playing again. I'm a solid drummer, started playing when I was about 10 (I'm currently 31). Not a technical master but I think I have a creative playing style that makes up for it. Decent guitar player, self taught but I've written/recorded a lot of material. I took a back seat on guitar in the last band I joined focusing only on drums but I've gotten back into playing and writing since then. I'm also really interested in the use of samples, either in a musical way or simply for sound collage. My vision of this project doesn't emphasize live performance, the idea is more of a songwriting/recording project focused on writing and recording good tunes. Playing shows could be something we talk about once we have some material. Playing live used to be my favorite part of being in a band and they're good for motivation, it's just not something I want to rush into. All skill levels welcome, I care more about dedication to the project and having good communication and a shared vision than being the best at your instrument. We can play folk songs or jazz or anything in between. I wrote Post-Pop (I’m not sure if this is a thing?) because what even is genre anymore. I’m interested in stylistic shifts between songs and tastefully mixing aesthetics. I want to make music that’s engaging, somewhere on the spectrum from chill to danceable to perhaps slight discomfort. Here’s a list of artists I’m influenced by: Silver Jews/Purple Mountains, Life Without Buildings, Spirit Of The Beehive, Prince, Women, Talk Talk, The Microphones, Jens Lekman, Jai Paul, Why?, Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, Burt Bacharach, Dehd, Todd Rundgren, and of course a lot more but that covers a good range. Here's the last band I was in where I played drums: https://youtu.be/Y7hL1_5J0so (sorry if you get an ad) and my soundcloud with a bunch of demos from over the years: https://soundcloud.com/pmforce Interested? Shoot me a message and send over some music if you have any and we can go from there.
