i'm casually looking for people into creating a collective.
horns (especially acid jazz and funk fusion players)
electric keyboard players (a la fender rhodes, analog synth)
bass (standup/fretless AND electric, preferably knowing how to play synth bass!)
programming(proficient in computer software drum programming, with own laptop/smapler/etc.)
percussion(be it drummers or tambourine/shaker players.. the more you can do the better!)
guitars(preferably experimental, but rooted in jazz, funk, and ambient rock.)
vocalists.(rhymes or prose, singing or rapping.. matters not. dynamic range with multi-tiered approach.. not looking for any particular style or gender or race here.)

the project is loosely based on most of the following sounds:
funk fusion
down tempo
acid jazz
shoegaze
post-rock
space pop

bands that influence the sound:
interpol
cocteau twins
massive attack
dot allison
silver mt. zion
jaga jazzist
metalwood
handsome boy modelling school
portishead

etc etc etc..

email [email protected] if interested in playing any part in this.
also open to instrumentation suggestions of course! - Fri, 19 Nov 2004 2:16pm

what's wrong with huge callouses? callouses are good! it's the blisters that i hate. aidan, i'm somewhat interested in this project and as you probably know, i play electric, fretted, fretless, standup & keyboard synth basses. however, i'll be busy until january. how soon are you getting started with it? - Mon, 22 Nov 2004 12:31pm

I was digging through and found this project
Aiden, I respect your current Black Tie Social and I really like the course you say you'd like to take with this

I've been playing sax for 5 years and I dig acid jazz / downtempo

What's the status of this project? - Mon, 28 Feb 2005 12:33am

hey james and tyler. thanks for the interest! i have no idea how the lineup will look because the interest is heavy on the guitar & keyboard side.
sorry i've been keeping people who've been emailing me in the dark... i've been actively looking for horn/strings all around town and even from vancouver. it's difficult to find the people with chops who want to take a risk by being in a band that doesn't have concretely written.

let me stress, this is a jam band that will write accordingly. i want to see where this project could go.

still looking for "lower brass" ie trombone, tuba, sousaphone.. etc..
and strings - viola, cello, violin, hurdy-gurdy, etc.

also, anyone who has experience with programming and drum looping.. i am looking for you input into this endeavour. - Thu, 17 Mar 2005 10:32pm

I'm not sure whether Rick is still involved in this, but if you need a bass player... I'd be interested.

Mr. Salter knows who I am. - Mon, 21 Mar 2005 5:09pm

Hey - If this takes off, I could be in to doing electronic beats, programming, loops, playing my analog synths, or can also play guitar, bass, rhodes... Put me on the mailing list for sure. [email protected]
