SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking to form a duo to collaborate in:
• writing
• recording
• and eventually performance of my own/your/our material.

I have always liked the combinations of female/male voices and guitars/keyboards, so am primarily looking for a female vocalist with skills in:
• Piano/keyboards and/or Guitars
• Or combinations with other instruments (flute/violin/percussion etc)

Music-making has been part of my life for over 40 years. I have been playing guitar (and some keyboards), writing and home-recording material for nearly all of that time, whilst undertaking a wide-ranging career in education (now complete). During that period, I have performed music in public occasionally, on my own and with others, as well as doing a great deal of public speaking related to organisation/leadership.

Creating music and performing it live when possible is now a major part of what I want to do. Played a full solo set at a garden party in Dandenongs at end 2022.

I have released 6 albums, under my full name
(Broken Ground; A Leap in the Dark; Miasma; Eyes into the Sun; The Light of Ages; Passages on the Invisible Moon))

All are available for download at https://niranjancasinader.bandcamp.com.
and
all major streaming platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes etc):

Solo live performances of my material can be seen on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnaap-wepN8BjRve5HmoFDA?app=desktop
