This is an idea I've been toying with. I figured I would put word out if anyone is interested.

Basically, yeah, there are a lot of words that describe the sort of project I'm trying to get together. Hard wave, artistic, synth-driven, screamy, emotive hardcore. A good example is the band zombie zombie, who have a site here: http://thezombiezombie.tripod.com/

I play the synth and own a yamaha cs6x. I'm 17 years old and have graduated high school. I've got a range of past musical endeavors... from jazz piano to ska. I also play guitar and bass.

Basically, the members I'd be looking for would be a bassist, drummer, and vocalist. The bassist and drummer would have to be prepared to take a huge dive from mainstream music for this project. Open-minded and creativity are all I'm really asking for.

As for the vocalist, something similar to saetia, orchid, city of caterpillar, etc. Screechy screaming.

Victoria has no screamo scene. When I say screamo, keep in mind I am talking about true screamo, not bands like thursday. I think the closest local bands to the sound I'm going after would be Modern Day Fire's rawness and vocals meets the dancy synth of The Raygun and Ghosts meets the energy and showmanship of Counting Heartbeats.

I'm not sure if this will strike up any interest, but it's worth a shot. - Mon, 11 Jul 2005 6:04am
