I am an experienced guitarist, composer, music graduate and vegan looking to join a new or existing band in Edinburgh. I have eclectic musical interests - from indie/experimental, to metal and contemporary classical - and an open mind towards trying new and different things.
In the past I have played in metal, post-rock, singer-songwriter and various other outfits, though I am very open to a wide range of sounds (see my influences below for some indication of style!). I have plenty of gigging, touring, writing and recording experience, though I have not played in a band for a few years due to education commitments.
In addition, I compose modern classical chamber music and electronic/electroacoustic music, and have worked with a range of instrumentalists. As such, I would love the chance to join a band of any level and to play gigs of any size.
Above all, I am keen to play some fun and interesting music - locally, nationally or internationally!
