Guitar player looking for a Band (indie-alternative-shoegaze)
I´m looking to start or join a recently formed band as a guitar player. The style I play is a mix of alternative rock, indie rock, grunge and shoegaze. The bands that are currently inspiring me are: Mannequin pussy, Blondshell, Momma, Chokecherry, Slow pulp, Wisp, Deux visages, NewDad... My aim is to write songs, release self-made records and play gigs in, and if the opportunity occurs, out of Berlin. About me: I´m a 30-year-old man, relatively new to the guitar (1.5 years), but I have years of experience as a bass player (live and recording experience). I also used to play saxophone as a kid (I've been meaning to start again) and I know my way around a synth. I also taught myself recording and mixing so that I can make us nice diy records. My style: I like to play chords and leads, and I like to blend quiet and heavy parts in one song. My approach to playing is to often let space for other instruments to shine so that the spotlight is shared between all. It's important to me that the other musicians I play with share this mindset. My progress in German are slow so I prefer speaking English. If that sounds good to you, I´m happy to send you a few sketches of song ideas so that you get an idea of the style of music I make.
