Electronic musicians wanted for synth jam sessions
Firstly, let me state that musicians of ALL ages, abilities, genders, etc., are MORE than welcome. :-D
OK, so here's the plan:
1) Get a bunch of people with synths, laptops, samplers, electronic drumpads/drum machines, laptops, mobile apps, voices, etc., into a rehearsal space.
2) Rock/Pop/Rave/Noise/Chill-out.
I'm talking LIVE jamming, not just playing pre-recorded tracks (although short loops are fine). Animal Collective live or 70s/early 80s Kraftwerk are good examples of what I mean by live playing of electronic instruments.
If the jams prove to be tasty and the players want it, we can perform shows, but this is strictly about the fun, not the fame.
Interested? Get in touch with your instrument of choice (e.g. laptop, synth, etc.) and a few relevant electronic-ish musical tastes.
