UPDATE: ... and Guitar
Hey there,
the band "Convolution", founded in 2022, is going to release their first EP (four songs, amounting to about 20-30 minutes) in September.
The songs are composed, lyrics are written. I am going to upload some demos during the next weeks.
The EP is going to be released no matter what, the worst case scenario is that it is going to be a lot of synths and samples.
If you want to remedy that and be a part of this project, I am here, waiting for you ;-)
The whole thing will be released under a CC License, there is no commercial interest. However I would like to publish to multiple platforms that are not too evil (that would e.g. include bandcamp, but exclude spotify), so you should feel comfortable with that if you want to join.
That should sum up the key data. Now for the genre:
The initial idea was, to write some pretty classic power ballads but with less annoying lyrics (there are good ones, but there are also many really bad ones, that can kill a lot of the fun you could have with the music).
The existing songs have developed from this idea and I'd say three of them are still pretty close to the concept, but one is more of an old school doom metal song.
I have not completely decided on the instrumentation, but I think Drums and Bass are certainly required as a basis for this kind of music. Piano is probably required as well. I would love to have at least one Cello on board, but if you play an instrument that you are confident can replace or augment that, I am happy to discuss that.
Cheers
Snuffles
P.S.:
This is also a "case study" or "proof of concept" of doing the whole rock music production process with open source software. I use ardour.org as DAW on Ubuntu Studio and I only use open source plugins for the DSP.
P.P.S.:
After the EP, depending on what instruments are available, the music might develop even more towards a heavier sound.
