TRACHEA Songwriter

Yep! I've been playing drums for 25 years and I also write entire songs (both metal and rap beats – though I keep the two separate). Music is my passion and means (almost) everything to me, both as a fan and as a musician. My band is called "VIJERIAH" (song linked below, currently inactive live) and we're working on an album (9 songs, which are basically just missing some guitar parts), but we don't have any more material. Therefore, I'm looking for musicians – even paid ones – to play guitar parts for my rhythm metal project "TRACHEA" (DEMO link below) and add their own personal touch (which is essential for everyone involved to enjoy it). We're missing things like whammy effects, bends, harmonics, dive bombs, and more textures. Anything that makes the playing sound more vibrant and atmospheric, and which I can't replicate with programmed guitars. Or rather, is almost impossible to program. Furthermore, my drum-influenced guitars often sound too static. I play rhythm-based riffs on my Ibanez RG 2228, but I'm far from having the skills to play my own compositions. The current 8 songs (plus possibly 2 bonus tracks, reinterpreted covers) are mostly written and presentable, but still need some fine-tuning. If things develop, they can also be rewritten together. What's important is a shared musical understanding and enthusiasm for the style (rather complex, tuning: F#, G#, rhythms, atmosphere, crazy effects). I'll handle the vocals (growls/screams/clean); my primary focus is on the musical realization of my written pieces. Live performance (i.e., a classic 'band') isn't currently planned. You can see examples of my influences and my preferred metal music tastes under "Favorite Artists." My favorite producers right now are Buster Odeholm and Nolly Getgood. I've been rapping for about 20 years – my name is "Gift" (www.youtube.com/giftig or Soundcloud: /esistgift). I've also done vocal editing and video editing. Cheers, Tim
