ABOUT

LOOKING TO JOIN A NEW OR ESTABLISHED LOCAL BAND

I have previously been playing guitar and keyboards in an alt metal / prog / electronic band (Above The Dream) & guitar in a fusion band (Silver Dune).

Both these bands dissolved because others moved a long distance away (or abroad), making it unfeasible to continue.

The songs posted are Sunrise over a distant moon (which is a rough demo of something I co wrote for Silver Dune) and Tic Tac Toe (to which I added a lot of ideas to the original song, which changed it to what is loaded here).

I recorded and wrote a lot of the ideas / music for Tic Tac Toe in my home studio.

The video is from Above The Dream, for which I also recorded a lot of the music.

I am now looking for a new band, ideally something that is a mix of Jazz Rock & Prog, which can also include Metal, Classic Rock or funk vibes. I’m also into Electronic music that can be incorporated within the above genres, especially as I make my own sounds from an array of synths.

I’m not really interested in straight ahead rock or metal in 4/4 time signatures playing generic chords associated with that style.

I am only interested in playing either or both - Guitar and Keyboards. Although I can play a lot of other instruments, I would only consider some of those for recording purposes only.

I am not your typical genetic player and have my own sound. I’m self taught, so not influenced by any music teacher.

What I have zero interest in, is to play cover songs, so please don’t ask as the answer will always be no.

I am North London / Hertfordshire based, so bands in this area are preferable.

I am open to paid sessions.

Influences

I am influenced by many artists and listen to everything from heavy metal to classical. However, my main preference is jazz rock, jazz funk and fusion.

My style works in the metal band as I’m still playing as a fusion player. That actually suits the music and makes it more unique.

Guitarists I am particularly influenced by would be (not in any sort of order):
Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, Wayne Krantz, Robben Ford, Frank Zappa, John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane, Hiram Bullock, Mike Stern, Jeff Beck, John Scofield & Steve Hillage (plus loads more).

Keyboard players (again, not in any sort of order):
Russell Ferrante, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Jan Hammer, Joe Sample, Jordan Rudess, Keith Emerson, Eddie Jobson, Dave Stewart, Tigran Hamasyan, Shawn Lane, Jason Rubello, Alan Pasqua, Carla Bley, Don Airey, Scott Kinsey, Steve Hunt, Joe Zawinul, Gary Husband & Cory Henry (plus loads more).
