About Me |
|
| These tracks are just frameworks in progress. I haven’t captured that exact sound in my head yet. There is a string arrangement in the end of Oui that has not been arranged yet and a Mini Moog synth in Starving Artists. Also, neither of the tracks have a bass in them because I have not added one yet. The vocals are just a scratch track that I fumbled through. Despite all this I am still somewhat happy with the rough drafts. I am more into the idea of recording one of my mellower songs with a very different feel to them. Currently, I am looking for a steady bass player, a keyboard player that can play solid chords as well as atmospheric backgrounds. I am also seeking a lead guitarist who isn’t afraid of experimenting with his/her sound. If you are a female vocalist that would be a great bonus because there are a lot of male/female harmonies for most of our material. Hey, so Portland is the place I'm looking to have people join this project and take off from there. Here are some people whose music I respect and the ideal candidates for this project would respect them as well (of course, I am not looking for exact copies.) Bass: Kim Deal, Paul McCartney, Kim Gordon, Gina Birch, James Jameson, Tina Weymouth Lead Guitar: Jonny Greenwood, Kelly Deal, Joey Santiago, Lee Ranalodo Keys:Jonny Greenwood, Billy Preston, John Cale,David Gilmour Strings: John Cale, Karen Karlsrud, Ann Rorich, Vicky Aspinall Vocal: Bjork, Kim Deal, Kelly Deal, Etta James,Rita Lee Drums: David Lovring, Dave Grohl, Mo Tucker, Steve Shelly, Palmolive, Benny Benjamin (Papa Zita), Tony Allen Thanks: Myke Lee. |
