DiF + Band in Toronto, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

Loud, fast, heavy, exciting, upbeat, progressive, epic, fun!
Working Project seeking Bassist & Vocalist to complete 2 albums worth of written material.
***Now accepting auditions!!!*** Equal writing credits!

Hello,
For over 25 years, I have played many different musical styles from progressive, to purely electronic.
Through playing many styles, I have had great opportunity to meet & play with many different musicians.

Recently, I ran into a motor bike mechanic who gets off on industrial motor & machine sounds.
He also happened to play drums, & shared a common musical vision & appreciation, so we got together & had a jam.
What came out of 4 jams was over 450 minutes of material condensed down to 108 minutes of good moments adding up to 2 albums worth of material.

Our sound will be well accepted by the public when the line-up is complete & shows are on the table.

To complete our sound, we need a bassist & vocalist who can share our musical appreciation & vision.
Finding good players to complete our line-up have proven to be very difficult here in Toronto.
We have auditioned some players but unfortunately, have not found the right fit.

There seems to be a shortage of good players available who are willing to be creative & think outside the box.
From what I've noticed, good players are usually 'jobbers' & go for the money or play covers rather than starting original creative projects.
Most players either mimic a specific sound or pop genre which is not the objective of this music project.

Our music is mostly written via our recorded improvisational recordings.
All candidates should be able to jam out & improvise.
We are eager to get this project rolling & hope to hear from you!

Best,
