JDR + Musician in Northampton, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking for talented, enthusiastic vocalists and song writers to collaborate with, on a casual basis initially, rather than 'must get out gigging' approach.

Looking for vocalists - male or female, to complete tracks that are in a raw state currently and in need of some vocals. Maybe with songwriting abilities to share ideas.

The three tracks listed are recent ideas I've been working on and give an idea of the style and range of music / vocals. I have quite a few other tracks that are in need of vocals and refining.

I've left the 'video' on my page, for a bit of referencing to a previous band set up.

As I am no longer in my 20's, it would perhaps be better to work with more mature musicians, who have time. Possibly day times, to dedicate to working on tracks and ideas.

I have a studio set up here for 'get togethers' as and when needed.

Influences

I have had many influences over the years, from The Stranglers, through to Rush, with more recent tastes inclined towards Muse and similar sounds that have a greater keyboard flavour.

I prefer keyboard orientated music, rather than standard straight guitar rock.

I play drums as a first choice instrument, but dabble with keyboards, hence the tracks included on this page.

I would say early - mid 80's synth bands are also of interest, which is sort of the direction I feel I'm trying to go in.
