TritoneKing

SEEKING

Band to Join, Bass Guitar.

ABOUT

I have a collection of 34 instruments of the lute family and play them all professionally: guitars (electric, acoustic, classical, flamenco), mandolin, sitar, bouzouki, oud, cuatro, charango, electric ukulele, Portuguese guitar, etc.

I have my own band Tritone King, and am also looking to collaborate with others performing live, as a session musician, etc.

There's no style that I like to limit myself to. But the ones I guess I am most comfortable with are: classic rock, funk, blues, metal, classical music, electronic, and world music (flamenco, Latin, Portuguese, Brazilian, North Indian, Arabic, Turkish, Sephardic, & Greek).

Fittingly, my band's style is World music hard rock opera funk DnB. The World music influences are mostly flamenco, bossa, Portuguese, and Indian. Love old school Drum n' Bass and use it in a few tracks.

The more open and eclectic you are, the better we'll probably get along, but I love adapting to all kinds of people, bands, and genres.
