34 Yr old multi-instrumental composer and band-leader.

Classically trained Pianist to Grd 7 RC level. Primary instrument is now bass, but can play keys and program synth. Also, can sing lead and back-ups (somewhat poorly). Can program a synth from the oscillator level and understand signal flow, compression, and so on. Have played in front of large crowds before. No stage fright or performance anxiety of any kind, with over 20 years of musical experience.

Familiar with professional studio environments, with a background in semi-pro and amateur recording solo and with ensemble. I have played in rock, funk, punk and other group types.

There is only one thing I won't play: a cover song. Ideally I prefer to associate and work with other composers, or musicians who appreciate original music.

My happy place is totally original electro funk, acid-jazz, and so on. As long as there is a strong groove, limited noodling, maximum fatness, and a group of musicians who understand the process of composition through to final stage performance, then I am super happy!

I don't bite, message anytime.

Hi all, very versatile bass player here, and wouldn't mind joining a focused, week-end warrior band of NO cover-tunes heavy music. Prefer slow grinding, and cannot handle Cookie-monster vocals, I prefer melodic and real.

Can pull off finer-style Justin Chancellor-esque stuff. Heavy influences are mostly non mainstream. Approachable, and ex semi-pro player.
