Beast Mountain seeking Synth Player

Portland OR

Description

Established stoner rock/metal band, Beast Mountain, seeking synth player to add layers and create interludes between songs. Listen to our album at the Bandcamp link here: https://beastmountain.bandcamp.com/album/cryptozoology (or find Beast Mountain - Cryptozoology on any major streaming platform) What we need: Synth player that specializes in creating mood. Can add subtle layers to enhance a song without overwhelming it. Also will create interludes between songs in order to merge the live set into one seamless act. (we have examples of samples we have used in the past for reference but think John Carpenter style synth work). Must be free in the evenings to schedule shows and practice. Expect to practice/jam at least once or twice a week. We're also seeking to expand the influences we bring into the music. New material can be expected to bring elements of more atmospheric styles like post-rock as well as heavier styles like black metal. However, the ability to be open-minded and creative is more valueable than being a technical master. Also, note that we're seeking to bring something to our shows to make them more memorable. So it has to be said that this isn't a band for "rock stars" that want to be known. We're working on building a stage show which could include wearing clothing like large robes to obscure ourselves, using lighting/fog to create a mood, or playing to a click. We want to have something more to show than just standing on stage with instruments, and simply playing good music like so many other bands do. We want to create a show that's just about music and mood and the more we can do to separate that from individual ego, the better. If that sounds like a good fit then please shoot us a message that tells us a little about yourself along with some samples of your abilities.
