Looking for writers and album cover makers

I know, so was mine.

Blowin free,  you would be wise to use your own lyrics and art so as not to depend on others for what you may be lacking in the creativity department.  But if "juxtaposition and reprobate" are the best you can do you may have to settle for a hot checkers match with one of your many fans here.

So what will the album be about?

I don't know, it was just one I never planned on playing with my band, not that it's worse or anything it was just more of a creative song that derived from my boredom, I figureed I could give it to someone else if they needed it. My band said they didn't wanna do too many extended pieces so it got scrapped completely for that reason (although our one extended piece Faustus 2031 is looking good to be recorded still).

Thanks, now i have 5 epics :D

Yeah... will do.

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

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

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.
