Bassist wanted for ambient duo + guest featured artists

Culver City CA

Description

I'm a live-loop ambient (mostly guitar) artist seeking to put together a duo or trio for live events. I love to work with multi-instrumentalists, for this new iteration I'm looking to start by partnering with a bassist who is interested and can also play some keys/synthesizer. The keyboard part is mostly for synth pads so it's really light work. I create the pad sounds with my guitar but if I had another musician we could approach the orchestration/arrangement differently and with more flexibility. I've done live sets as a soloist and with 1 or 2 other instruments, and a pretty wide range so down the road it would be great to have a solid duo that can introduce other artists to join us for special events. It helps with cross-promotion and marketing as well as helps keep the music ideas fresh and evolving. If you want to hear some of my live ambient music please check this link https://jeffali.com/album/summerfest-ambient-live-la-maida there are also other albums that are basically ambient guitar plus one or two other instruments, and many of those recordings are also from live performances or just something recorded in my home studio. Ideally, you have time to work on music regularly and live close to Culver City so that transport isn't a hassle. If you join me you can expect future gigs to be us as a core (guitar/synth/bass) plus Cello, Viola/Violin, Bansuri/flutes, hand pan/hang, tabla, sitar, sarod, esraj, sarangi, erhu, santoor, setar, oud, voice, and more. I have a pretty extensive list of improvisers to invite whom I've played with in the past.
