Band Members: Just me and my computer. If your interested in starting a band, send me a message with your idea. I have one idea I would like to pursue: for me music falls into two categories - specific song based music and purposeful music. I would like to find a middle ground between the two. I couldn't reference any bands but I have an idea of what I am looking for in terms of personnel - drummer (preferably electronic kit), Programmer tech guy who can play keyboards player , guitarist, talented songwriter/singer who can play a few instruments or is willing to learn new ones, myself on bass, noise, guitar and keyboards and a multi-instrumentalist. The music will be electronic but hopefully will draw from all genres of music.
