Hello everyone. Me and my friend are putting together a band (just us
two for the moment). I play keyboard(very poorly) and saxophone(i've
played it for 9 years on and off), and my friend is very, very skilled
at creating music using loop-based programs like Fruity Loops. Our music will be a mixture of his music tastes(Industrial, Electronica, Ambient) and mine(Progressive, Black and Folk metal). We're both into post-rock and a bit of 70's prog as well. We are hoping to make the music sound like a combination of Devin Townsend's/Moonsorrow's wall-of-sound atmospheres, Mars Volta's effects and saxophone solos, and a Nine Inch Nails style of Industrial metal. The 'meat' of the sound will probably be lots of layers of keyboards and looped industrial riffs. My idea was to have the melodies being quite folky a lot of the time (falkenbach, later bathory, moonsorrow, style) Until we find a guitarist, chances are we won't have any guitar at all. We will start writing and practising material in a few weeks (when my university exams are over). Has anyone tried making music that is a mixture of this type before? I know, it's rather eclectic... I don't know if using just keyboards and sax and loops is enough. Does anyone have any advice? This is the first band i will have ever been in (other than a high-school organised jazz band), so I am a little clueless as to how to write and arrange and record the music. I've had very little musical education, mostly self taught, and my friend is more clueless than i am. There is also the question of how to go about making metal music without any guitars... ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/the_pole/">
