SEEKING

ABOUT

Classically trained violinist with exceptional reading skills and a great ear, looking to broaden my horizons and play with a band or create our own. I love experimenting and creating textural layers of instrumentation, and would love to work with a keyboardist and others to create a unique soundscape. I can also figure out what to play and harmonise with your songs, and create notation. Open to rehearsing once/week. Just bought new pedals and looper and want to work with someone who enjoys the tech side of things as well.
