Looking for Contemporary Jazz Influenced KEYS/SYNTH Player (Sherman Oaks)
QR Code Link to This Post
Drummer and pianist/synth player are looking for additional keys to share synth and bass synth duties.
Tastes are eclectic. For now, we've been using a lot of progressive piano trio influences (think Go-Go Penguin, Mammal Hands, Bad Plus, Esbjorn Svenson Trio, BadBadNotGood). It's jazzy but not boppy. It's progressive but not fusioney or noodley. Psychadelic acid jazz meets Radiohead (without vocals- though not opposed).
Emphasis on the psychedelic element, but meditative, melodic and textured, not just trippy. All of that said, we're not dogmatic on what is supposed to come from this. I always expect a surprise when a variety of personalities come together.
Can provide some basic demo recordings on request.
(Relevant) Influences:
- Gogo Penguin
- Hiatus Kaiyote
- Airto Moreira
- Remember Shakti
- Shpongle
- Hidden Orchestra
- Bjork
- Thom Yorke/Smile/Atoms for Peace/Radiohead
- Badbadnotgood
- Mammal Hands
- Kokoroko
- Ill Considered
- Bomba Estereo
- That should keep you busy (not a band)
