SEEKING
Vocalist - Soprano, Keyboard, Vocalist - Alto.ABOUT
I play lead guitar and write and am working with a long-time collaborator who plays bass and sings, and we are putting together a band to begin gigging in the coming months. We have written 90 minutes of modern progressive synth/rock music and would like to add a keyboard player and a female vocalist to participate in the project. This is not a guitar rock project, it's keyboard-led with synths and elements of electronica. A number of demos are included with this profile.

Sensibility Track number: 1 Year: 2023 Album: Crazy Barista Genre: Progressive
Although there are a few different musical styles amongst the 90 minutes we have, this is probably the best example of what we're trying to do. The vocals are by a friend and for demo purposes

97% (Demo) Track number: 4 Year: 2012 Album: Crazy Barista Genre: Progressive
More funk/rock than progressive but it will break up the set. The vocal melody in this demo is played by a bassoon.

Lessons In Hyphenation (Part Of) Track number: 3 Year: 2010 Genre: Progressive
A tongue-in-cheek study of the perspective of a corpse buried in a shallow grave. This is an old favourite from 2010 updated for 2023. Wonderful vocal by a past collaborator.
