Starting Project

Colorado Springs CO

Description

I've been working on a project and I'm looking to get it off the ground with some people that are serious about getting something going and can put in the time, effort, and commitment. I will be pretty specific about what I'm looking for so if it sounds like the right fit please reach out. About the project/me: I'm 35, have been playing guitar for 20+ years, and also play drums and bass to a lesser extent. I also program drums and program synth tracks. I have a Monday-Friday job, no substance abuse problems, no kids, and I'm willing to put in the time to get a project going. If you aren't serious, can't make time 2 days a week, and don't have any samples of your work, this is not the ideal project for you. The project revolves around using 7 string guitars and faster BPM but is not focused on odd-time polyrhythms. The songs are written to stay around the 4-minute time while changing enough musically to stay interesting. I would prefer to go into the 6, 8, 9, minute prog stuff with this project. Adding elements of synth and layered guitar for a bigger sound is also what I have in mind beyond these demos. Seeking Drums, Bass, Vocalist. Please only respond with recent (within the past 2 years) audio and/or video samples. As there are a lot of people that just reply to every CL ad they see, let's not waste each other's time. Drums: The drums in the demo tracks are all programmed by me. You do not have to play these exact but the general style, speed, and technicality are a good point of reference for what I'm looking for in a drummer. Bass: 5-6 string (for tuning purposed) and proficient in your ability to play at this speed. Dynamics are welcomed and you should have a general input about riffs and adding ideas. Vocals: Ideally somebody that can do mid-range fry and guttural. Would prefer the project to not have one basic vocal style so if you can mix different types of screams in, that would probably fit the best. I do not have an ego about writing so it would be best if you don't either. All members should be able to have input on the project and songs but I would like to keep the general style and ideas in mind so it does not do a full 180 into a different project. If you're into it, let's talk, if you think it sucks you're welcome to email me and let me know. **If responding to the ad please include audio/video examples from the past 2 years** Demo Songs (basic demos/unmixed): https://soundcloud.com/awaitingoblivion Video play through videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLKIozm4VCcuuIzhdQMRp0Q All licensing, social accounts, and legal stuff has been obtained for the project's name already.
