[b]We are a group of very creative and driven musicians with a unique take on heavy rhythm driven music, drawing influence from all facets of multiple genres to create something fresh covering a broad spectrum of styles. Our sound is constantly evolving and being refined and would look to have a bassist that would play a pro active role in bringing ideas to the creative process both musically and artistically. [/b][/size][/font]

We are very much a rhythm based outfit with more emphasis on hooks with groove than overly complex melodies and leads. We enjoy playing around with interesting time signatures, tuning and phrasing as long as its tasteful and maintains a good pulse and dynamic and is coherent.[/size][/font][font=Helvetica][size=2]
Currently our sound sits somewhere between Deftones, Queens of the stone age, Perfect circle, Smashing Pumpkins, The refused and Tool but draws from elements of blues, funk and electronic music.[/size][/font]

We would be looking for a very motivated and open minded musician that can communicate there ideas coherently and that sees the bass as its own entity as well as something that very much glues the other elements of the band together. The things that we would be looking for are as follows:[/size][/font]
[list]
[*]A good understanding of dynamics and tone.
[*]An ability to recall set pieces as well as improvise.
[*]A wide pallet of technique, styles and a understanding of when and where is tasteful to execute.
[*]A broad spectrum of taste within music, art and life min general.
[*]An open minded individual.
[*]Prompt and reliable.
[*]Most importantly a good sense of humour and honest.
[/list]

Our goal is to create something that has its own sound but is not limited to one particular style of music. We are driven in both the creative process and pushing things forward as we are looking push this as far as possible and would love to have someone to very much add there own signature to where we are already.

Sounds intriguing and potentially right up my street. So, where in South London are you (ie, where do you rehearse), do you have anything we can listen to, and are there any requirements age-wise?
