Hello... Again!

[thelevellers]

So I've recently hit a decent seam of inspiration and started posting on here again for the first time in *YEARS* (as some of you may have noticed). I realised that as it's been more than 10 years (slightly concerned it might be nearing 15?!) since my last introduction, I might introduce myself again - I am a fairly different person, and the membership of the forum is pretty different, too!

 

I'm currently working at being a woodworker making various household goods and trying to sell them at various markets locally as well as online (though I'm not great at doing either so far, so we'll see...), on the side I do a bit of flat pack furniture assembly cause it's adult Lego to me and I can't quite believe people pay me to do it for them! I've got here via an engineering apprenticeship plus a few years at Rolls-Royce (gas turbines/jet engines), followed by a fairly major brain malfunction leaving me chronically depressed and anxious for the last 3 years. Not that you could possibly have guessed that from the lyrical content of my recent songs!

 

On the side I am trying to make a (largely acoustic) folk-metal band happen, somewhat successfully so far, although I'm not really the right person to be the lynch pin in organising anything. We knuckled down while snowed in and recorded an EP earlier in the year - you can find it via the website linked below.

 

I'm also trying to get songs out of my head for a solo project, or just a non-folk originals band, which is the main reason I'm back on here again. Feedback on lyrics and a place to talk about songwriting in general is super helpful in staying inspired, I find! At least when you're not performing/recording much. Although I did put an EP together last summer, which again is linked below in my signature!

 

So that's me, pretty much - there's other details, but you gotta maintain some mystery, right?!

 

Cheers, Rohan

HI Rohan, good luck with your new solo project!
