My recent posts have been all based around my musical work and my struggle to find the right people to play with. Not having the right people to play with can stifle the desire and skill of writing music, as no purpose makes you a bit slack, I’ve had to drop a few songs or ideas because I’d allowed myself to write sloppy or lazy parts.
This weekend I’ve taken a step forward, a friend who is a singer in band decided to part from his own band, one of the reasons I’ve never spoke to him about it. I’ve sounded him out about the project and he seemed interesting, great news. With a singer and front man who you know you can play with that’s a hard box ticked. I’ve also manged to track down the drummer I had lost due to a crappy musicians website, when I say tracked down, I’ve found a phone number which should belong to him, but he’s not got back to me yet. I’ve also decided to contact a known excellent bass player to do some session work and help me write proper bass lines for the tacks I’m working on. As I’m trying to put a 3 component band together for the music the bass line is a really core part and needs to be beyond what I can write, so hopefully he can help progress some of these songs to be ready to be played by a band.
Nothings done yet, but it does seem a lot more positive than it has been for a while in terms of working with other musicians.
