ABOUT

A project I've been wanting to get off the ground for a while now, and am looking to collaborate with a keyboardist / electronic / synth player.

I'm a very experienced live and studio guitarist, I've written for and toured all over Europe extensively with my old band with some amazing support and headline slots and the like, and have played big festivals (e.g. Wacken) as well. Point being, I am not just getting started out!

I have a bassist, drummer, and singer in mind - all very good friends and extremely talented - but I want to present them with some songs that have been pre-written really, and I want to work with someone who isn't necessarily a metalhead on these.

Want to bring a pop style to things, lots of synths and stuff - with the guitars acting as a rhythm instrument primarily - very heavy (I've been writing with a 7 string tuned to G#) though want there to be a mix of distorted and clean parts in songs. My only "finished" song so far is an acoustic track for example.

I have a load of ideas for this, but I am finding I'm stuck with the electronic part, I have limited ability when it comes to keyboards and am finding I'm a bit stuck with that part of the writing process - I want someone to bounce ideas back and forth with, lyrics and vocal melodies as well really. The vocalist I have in mind is not a metal singer, but has influences mostly in the theatrical and pop area (e.g. Bastille / Sam Smith / etc) and kinda want to bring that big focus on melody and catchy stuff to this.

It's an unusual idea I guess, but I have a clear idea of what I would like it to be, would love to hear from you if you are interested in something a bit more experimental - plans are to get some songs written, then (hopefully) get my drummer and bassist friend involved to work on their parts so that we can record an EP - beyond that I'd love to gig it, but for now just want to get it up and running!

The demos I've uploaded here are very much WIPs, and mostly just throwing ideas at a wall rather than focusing too much on structure - as I want to develop these ideas quite a lot with someone - just more to give an idea what direction I want to go in.
