Hello, my name is Mat Simpson, I'm 16 and I create music under the band name Mothwire. I'm looking to perform my music live and I want a violinist. The music that's ready to be played isn't particularly challenging, and it isn't originally written for violin. To hear some of the kind of music that would be played, please visit www.soundclick.com/mothwire - the songs we would perform from this selection would be "Unattached part 1", "Unattached part 3", "Paradise" and "Unattached part 2". We would also be performing other songs by bands such as The Mars Volta and other bands which work well for violins.
Please note that we will not be playing classical music - unless you would want to play a violin solo of course This is neither classical music nor mainstream pop music, and I think it would be really interesting to work with a violinist on it. I would also write some more engaging violin based music should we get a violinist.
Ability is quite important; we dont need a virtuoso but we need someone with some ability at least. Previous experience is not an issue, but what we really need is enthusiasm and love for music. Especially the music that we would perform
We are based in Cheltenham, so anyone in the Gloucestershire area or near enough to make band rehearsals is suitable. Ages 14-18.
