SEEKING

Bass Guitar, Drums, Violin, Keyboard, Piano, Flute, Steel guitar, Electronic Music.

ABOUT

Inner west based alternative / electronic / ambient inspired project, combining acoustic and electronic instrumentation looking for a sonic architect, preferably a multi instrumentalist and someone who can help create textures and sounds.

Very keen to meet guitarists who like using pedals to create lots of textural sounds , cellists, violin players, and percussionists- open to all ideas.

you you can hear music at Blackdiamondorchestra.com and
https://www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/black-diamond-orchestra, but there’s lots more and I would say better material than that in the pipeline.

Influences

Anything that combines good songwriting with experimentation and interesting production, Eg think Radiohead, Beth Gibbons, Portishead , Eno, to more electronic stuff like Tangerine Dream Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Kraftwerk. Also folk / folk rock Bert Jansch, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and some jazz eg Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sun Ra. Also into new age, minimalist, ambient, krautrock genres. Lately I’ve been enjoying Caribou, Nilufer Yanya, MJ Lenderman, and Aussie artists like the Necks, the Dirty Three and Close to Forever as well.

EQUIPMENT

Gibson 335 and SG guitars, fender deluxe and Princeton amps, Dave smith, Roland, Yamaha synths, samplers, lots of pedals, decent home studio and rehearsal / recording space
