As best as I could describe this: imagine Tangerine Dream, Joy Division, and 1970s sci fi and horror soundtracks had a love child, David Lynch was the godfather casting a noir and Darkwave spell over the sonic and visual proceedings, and the keys / synth were the brooding atmosphere and ambiance of it all.
We get together 2 - 3 times per month on average in my home studio in Evanston. First and foremost, what we are looking for with the right, interested keys/ synth player is availability at least 1 - 2 times per month. If you can sing back up vocals, that's a definite plus, as would be someone who is also into making that brooding atmosphere and ambiance with other analog & digital gadgets / instruments.
The ETA on the short film score recording (both at my studio and at Bim Bom Studio in Chicago) is this fall - winter; the actual film release is slated for summer 2027; live performances playing live to the film would be fall 2027. I am writing, shooting, and editing the film. But, the music is essentially all of ours and has been inspiring film-scene ideas. Starting spring 2027, we will do gigs outside of the live performances to the film. This will be a band that plays out live, as well as a group of musicians who do this in the context of scoring music to this and future film and visual projects. The name of the short film is Starets Tongue and the name of the group is Spiral Stare.
