Over the past twelve years we have performed at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire - South, The Santa Barbara Faire, The Ojai Renaissance Festival, The Gold Coast Pirate Festival, The Central Coast Renaissance Festival, Central Valley Renaissance Festival, and Kearney Park; participated in workshops and conferences, and performed in combined concerts with Cuesta College North County Chorus.

<![CDATA[A mix can make a huge difference to a song. Ever check out the difference between Butch Vig's and Andy Wallace's mix of Smells Like Teen Spirit? What I'm offering is a very low price so i can work on good material and build up my portfolio. Most studios try and dazzle with all the expensive gear they have. Gear is great. I love it. But the truth is good mixes don't come from great gear. They come from great ears. Over the years I've been in many bands that recorded with students in expensive studios. None of that sounds good. That said, I do use quality gear, a large treated room, and good monitors. I'm musician myself. Been in bands for years. I understand that you don't just want a generic mix that sounds like everything else. I try and find the natural direction of your music and make it stronger. I'm tempted to set a price at $40 per song depending on track count, song length, and amount of revisions. Contact me with any questions. ]]>

<![CDATA[I am a dance music producer looking for an experienced piano teacher/composer for brainstorming new ideas for some of my upcoming singles. The main focus is to create Chord Progressions and Counter Melodies for Dance Music. Most of Dance music is vary basic and straight forward as its mainly loop based and repetition, so the idea is to create very catchy chord riffs. Its very important that you are someone creative and has an ability to actually compose vs just teach piano. I already have very good knowledge in music and have been playing for a few years now. To give you a very good idea of what I am looking for, I am including previews of riffs in the music genera I am working in. This is not a short term project and I am looking for someone who I can develop a professional relationship with. I would prefer to work out of my studio based in Sunnyvale in order to record the ideas on the fly. It is VERY important that you are a good composer and can easily recreate and compose similar ideas to the ones posted below. It would be a big plus if you are knowledgeable and enjoy electronic music. Music is my full-time job so I am looking for someone who is outgoing and serious, as well as passionate and creative.

<![CDATA[Whether you’re interested in live performance, studio composing, or both, I can get you making music immediately! Mangle samples and play the synthesizer like a real instrument, or learn about recording and remixing. Synthesizers, drum machines, and music software can be incredibly deep. This allows for amazing flexibility and hours of fun, but can be intimidating. I’ve programmed custom instruments that take students step by step through the electronic music process. We’ll start very simply, and build at your own pace. These programs are free and will work on almost any computer. You can start making music immediately without having to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront. I also offer lessons in many major music programs and techniques including: Logic, Reason, Ableton Live. Max/MSP, Garageband, Melodyne, Mainstage, Omnisphere, Zebra, Trilian, analog synthesis, digital synthesis, and samplers. I’m a professional musician/composer/teacher with a BA in Music from UCSC and five years experience performing and teaching in the Bay Area. The first lesson is free. Subsequent lessons are $25/hr. Thanks for reading Ben Juodvalkis ]]>

<![CDATA[ "In this day and age, for an artist to succeed, the talent has to be either exceptional or very different. JooWan Kim is both; exceptional and very different" -Ahmad Jamal --------------------------------------------------- Active professional composer/pianist has openings in his studio. I would like to fill up these spaces with enthusiastic individuals. Who I am: A Steinway Artist, composer/theorist living in the Bay Area. I received a bachelor's degree at the Berklee College of Music (summa cum laude) and a master's at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (both in composition).

Classically-trained composer/pianist JooWan Kim heads up the Ensemble Mik Nawooj, which muscles up moody classical chamber music with funk beats and some fine rhymes by MC Kirby Dominant. This "great integration" works surprisingly (perhaps even shockingly) well. Ensemble Mik Nawooj sounds like something Wu-Tang Clan producer The RZA might conjure up if he got his hands on the Kronos Quartet: dramatic strings, staccato piano riffs, and cinematic flute loops woven through street beats and poetic lyrical flows. When the Wu-Tang entered the 36 Chambers, they probably didn't expect an actual chamber music ensemble to be behind door 35. But who ever said hip-hop had to use two turntables and a microphone?" - J. Graham Review from the San Francisco Classical Voice The first half concluded with the highlight of the evening, JooWan Kim's Ave M (2008), for soprano and ensemble (the composer on piano; Valentino Pellizzer, drums; Rob Woodcock, string bass). The 13 words of the text were set in five contrasting sections over 10 minutes in a distinctive postminimalist style. Harmonies varied from relatively static, arpeggio-based sections to provocative, Baroque-inspired, harmonic sequences. Meanwhile, Moss carried her beautiful, melodic to melismatic lines with powerful expression, resulting in an enthusiastic audience reception at the conclusion. -Jeff Dunn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------]]>

<![CDATA[Do any of these names strike a chord of inspiration in your heart. If so, I'd like to meet you. If, on the other hand, you don't even know who any of these people are, or have at least a genuine interest in this kind of music, please don't bother replying to this ad. This statement is not based on pomposity, but rather the desire for efficiency. I'm simply tired of expending tons of energy and meeting up and jamming with people who have a vision that is the complete opposite of mine and have no background in nor heard any of the things I like. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours. I'm a proficient 26 year old lead guitarist, energetic free-spirit, and potential songwriter who is primarily driven by 1960's Americana/garage/punk, some 50's music and bubblegum, vocal and instrumental surf music, 60's British rock and pop, and both American and British music that emerged on the threshold of pure psychedelia and pre-psychedelic music such as the Velvet Underground, the Deep, pre-punk like the MC5 and Blue Cheer, and others. Ideally, I would like to start that is overall loose and creative, yet with some degree awareness and cohesion in musical direction. I very much like the idea of possibly blending various diverse sources of influence, but at the same time want people who are familiar or truly interested in some of my influences. It's great music. ]]>

<![CDATA[here goes: I find a guy or a gal who is a talented ____________ a) bassist b) drummer c) guitarist d) keyboardist e) singer f) songwriter Everyone who answers the ad has equipment and time to be in a band NOW--not two weeks from now, not a few months after finals, not when their other band is through touring ---NOW. Everyone in the band has a practical knowledge of their instrument. No need for training wheels. , we get some song ideas together and maybe even try to fuck with some cover material. Among ourselves, it would be reasonable to get together once or twice a week and create a 5-7 song set in the space of a month. We then record a home demo to the best of our ability, get some shows at local bars. We play our best, which attracts a fanbase. In the space of 6 months we record again to release a CD. Everyone in the band would be involved in promoting the band. Everyone in the band will be good at their instrument. We are as free of bullshit as possible. we have fun. How does that sound? okay-- here are some musical directions: The Stooges Black Flag Sonic Youth PJ Harvey the clash naTion Of Ulysess interpol joy div. YYYs, good stuff... Most of the influences are 'punk' or' indie rock', . but everybody in the band listens to and plays different types of music The genius of Mary J Blige or Conway Twitty isn't lost on us. Whatever it is, it isnt just down to grunge and classic rock.]]>

<![CDATA[Do you enjoy serendipity, good food and making music? Do you play trumpet? Trombone? Sax? Clarinet? Accordion? Sousaphone? Other loud instrument? I'm trying to put together a small brass band (or big, heck why not!) for this Friday afternoon around 4:30 as part of a hilarious picnic for my brother's 40th birthday party in Golden Gate Park on Friday the 19th of March(ing band). He's really into frisbee and I'm really into cooking, so if you want to toss a disc and eat great home-cooked food, in exchange for helping surprise him with something similar to the "Extra Action Marching Band" concept, let me know. Just so you know who you'll be befriending here: Andrei is a dad of two fun boys, 5 and 7. Andrei wrote the book on Ultimate--almost literally. He was the captain of the Stanford University Ultimate team when he was in grad school and they won all the championships. I'm one of the founders of the SF Bicycle Coalition and other bicycle culture mainstays. I created the Wiggle as a public concept, and the Bike Mural on Duboce. Almost all my efforts are volunteer-based and I don't see why this should be any different. It could be a great way to make friends, play music and have a fun picnic. The idea would be to gather with the others who might respond and come to the picnic together, playing some agreed simple but hilarious tune that everyone knows. What do you think? I may be able to get some additional instruments--a friend collects old beat-up brass instruments. Joel]]>

<![CDATA[My name is Eric. I'm 28 years-old. I am interested in finding one (or more) comedians to play musical instruments with. I am also interested in renting a practice space. I live in Mountain View, but am not against meeting, or renting in any other area, including San Francisco. Let's make each other shit our pants in between songs. Some starters if you're blank include: 1) The most creative ways you've gotten out of work 2) The voices you made when you called in sick 3) Impressions of your boss 4) That one thing you did/heard about The most important thing here though is to attempt to create "the chills" by our awesome riffs. You know, like when you hear "The Diamond Sea" and you're all alone, or some shit like that. Or when you're driving in your car listening to Slant 6. Actually, having a sense of humor and not being a total piece of shit are way up there. Some of my favorite bands off the top include: Sebadoh, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Grandaddy, Pavement, and I know, I know, the album "Live Through This" by Hole. If you wear all black clothing more than once a week, have ever owned a pair of "JNCO" pants, own DOD effects pedals, get regular haircuts: you're not funny, so I can't be bothered. Unfortunately, like so many others: I play guitar. But I own a cool fucking guitar and good sounding equipment. I am a Fender man. It's not a Strat either. You must own your own gear. If you possess no musical instruments, you must bring a Shure SM58 microphone and perform standup comedy for me to critically evaluate. I'm lonely, you know? PS: I don't suck, and if you like some of the bands I listed above, I have some riffs that you'll swear by. Some of this shit just needs you know, more than one person! I have a beautiful olympic white Fender Jazz bass for you to use if your shit sucks. Also, you don't actually have to be a comedian. I have received responses from those concerned they may not be funny enough. I'm not funny either. I'm a scared, lonesome soul with many fears I'd like to share with you. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi there, I'm a male singer and writer looking to develop some of my songs with a producer. I only work with my voice and an acoustic guitar so I'm lacking the beats and instrumentation I need to make these songs into my vision for them. I'm currently trying to focus on a particular song of mine that I want to incorporate a more hip hop feel to while still maintaining its original feel. Say It Right by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland is a good example...great hip hop beat with emotional pop vocals. I need someone who has the ability to make a good quality recording and who can also add an original beat and other sounds to make the song complete. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is interested. Send links to your work if you can. Thanks! ]]>

<![CDATA[Ok, so here's the deal - I love playing shows. And I love playing music which makes people dance. Unfortunately, I can't write hits like Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, ZZ Top, Tom Petty, The Eagles, etc. Fortunately, I can play their music. I'm looking for some players to start a band that can gig once in a while and practice a little on the weekends. I have a demanding professional job and have a hard time committing to practicing during the week. I'm looking for folks in the same type of situation who can learn songs on their own and come together a couple of weekends a month to practice, and then play some shows now and again. Not looking to tour, make lots of money, etc. I play rhythm guitar, sing, and I'm generally good at making things happen. I'm looking for everything else: Drums, bass, lead guitar and keys. I'm looking for people who are laid back, but serious about their instrument and their sound, and enjoy making music and entertaining people. I have practice space, but it's very very small and would only just fit five people. I also have drums at my place too. Let me know if you're interested and reply with a little information about yourself please. Thanks. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hey yall. Me and my buddy who both play guitar were looking for a couple more to jam with. We need a bassist, drummer and maybe a singer. Ive always liked the idea of a female singer, but well deal with that when we need to. Some of the music were into includes; Rise Against, No Use For a Name, Bad Religion, Paramore, Social Distortion, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Distillers, Black Flag, Superchunk, NoFX, ect. We like other stuff also, but i think thats a good idea of the sound were going for. So if anyone out there wants to get together, drink some beers and try to put some songs together, let me know! ]]>

<![CDATA[Dear Musicians, am selling my violin which I bought at $16,000. This special instrument that I am selling at only $10,000 is due to the fact that I am downgrading instruments and want to sell this instrument at an affordable price. This is a wonderful opportunity for talented students needing a professional quality instrument which can carry them through college and beyond. It is a great solo and first violin of a quartet edge while keeping the warmth in the sound. About the Maker: Douglas Cox received his early training at the State Violin Making School in Mittenwald, Germany in the late 1960's. He spent ten years as head of the repair department and chief restorer for the firm of J. Bradley Taylor, Inc. in Boston, servicing the finest instruments in the New England area. Since 1981 he has devoted himself to building fine new instruments. His home and studio are in the hills outside Brattleboro, Vermont, not far from Marlboro Music and the Yellow Barn Music Festival. To his making of new instruments, Doug brings the discipline and workmanship of his early training tempered with years of study of fine old instruments and extensive experience in tonal adjustment for the most demanding professional players. He continues to stretch his making abilities and understanding of what makes violins work by building close copies of unusual and noteworthy master instruments. Since 1981 Doug has built more than 600 violins, violas, cellos, and baroque instruments. His instruments have received awards from the Violin Society of America, and are used by professional artists in a wide array of professional settings. To see to violin being played by me , click here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6AZo0Z0xBo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6AZo0Z0xBo</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTzr7Kc1iIk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTzr7Kc1iIk</a> "The Cox instruments I own are superb concert quality instruments and are equal and often superior to the finest and famous luthiers of the golden age of violinmaking. I recommend his violins, violas and cellos with greatest enthusiasm as affordable substitutes to antique instruments."
