Hi, another new member here. I'm a musician based in the UK. I'm here to exercise my writing and collaboration skills because I have decided the time has come to start writing rather than playing other people's songs! I've been writing on and off for years, but have decided to now "go for it", and so I've joined this forum to see if it gives me opportunities to expand what I do. I am a piano/keyboard player with a nice little home studio capable of chucking out some decent (professional grade) tracks. I did an MA a few years ago specialising in film music, which was fun, but I hanker after writing a pop song or two
I'd really like to work with a lyricist or two, and can offer quite a bit in return - piano tracks no problem and also fuller production stuff if needed. It all takes time though, and my time is split between several musical projects I have on the go, so perhaps the first thing I'd like to do is stick with some nice lyrics and come up with piano backings. Though, given the right material, I'm happy to work on more complex stuff. I work to the rule of thumb of one hour per minute of material for the final song, though the preparation time can be a few days.
I am collaborating with a good friend of mine who has good connections, so I am currently writing material for him. I just want to do more to keep my brain flexible!
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this forum
