Looking for writers and album cover makers

I want to write the greatest prog piece I'll ever hear and all I need is somebody to help me write the story, and album cover maker. I want the story to be sad and touching on some parts, and that the music will fit the story at that same time, and so on and so forth. Please share if you want in.

Is this Prog folk Miss Catherin?

Bravo, Blowin' Free. Somehow, you have managed to get instant responses from people who seem to be interested in your project without having any ideas for it whatsoever. I'm impressed. 

Whenever I posted a thread asking for help on my project, even with an idea already in place, nobody wanted to help me, it seemed. I had to resort to PMing people directly.

It's a gift, I suppose. Haha.

^ lol, but at least he got responses of SOME type, Dean. 

Hello!

First, I apologize for my long reply.

I am a published lyricist who has exactly the same goal. I started seriously writing lyrics at age 18. My major influence has been  Neil Peart...

You can hear a sample of one of my published lyrics here:

http://www.thedailysearch.com/17%20Scorners%20of%20the%20Grave.m4a

I worked on that with an award winning musician from Sweden.

And here is a site where you can check out three sets of my lyrics (lyrics and artistic concept have all been registered with the Library of Congress, as i am very serious):

http://www.searchsites.ms11.net/mysite.html

Please forgive the lack of info on the site. You caught me in the middle of getting a new site up under my own domain name soon.

All my lyrics are aimed at progressive rock...closer to Rush's progressive/rock fusion...

Check out "Power Lines" and you will see my artistic idea for the lyric pages. But that would also extend to the album cover...As you can see, it's something that's never been done before...At least I've never seen anyone do it...The art for "Power Lines" is actually integrated with the lyrical theme so you can guess how much thought and time I put into developing the concept.  I don't have the best images up of the lyrics but try to envision the final product as a clean and glossy lyric book.

Of particular interest to you might be a lyric I wrote entitled "Soldier X". It could be mistaken for a metal, thrash or death metal lyric but it was actually written in the same spirit as Rush's "Red Sector A". I call attention to it because, although there is no music to it yet, I know exactly how the music for "Soldier X" should sound and know it would be an incredible and moving song should I find the musicians who can pull off the music for it. It was inspired in part by the events in Bosnia in the '90's.

I also have solid and well formed artistic ideas for my other lyric set "Compositions", as you will see.

Should you regard any of my work as promising, I am prepared to meet with you and discuss your objective and take it from there if things click.

In the meantime, I hope to have a decent website up within a week. :fingers crossed:

I assume you are already a serious musician, correct?

Regards,
Mike

I haven't released an album yet but I do play 5 instruments and have guested on a few tracks.

Thanks, but why don't you use it? It's your song...

I want to call it "The Juxtapositioning of Appropriate and Reprobate".

Yeah... will do.
