[GERMANY / REMOTE] Forming a Symphonic Power Metal Band — Philosophical Lyrics, Animal Costumes, Absolute Beginners Welcome

• Upvotes

Dear community,

My name is Ilia, I’m 25, but you’ll also know me as “The Rat” later, if you decide to join the ranks of “Syncrasy”.

I’m currently looking for musicians for a future symphonic power metal band that will be based in Germany, preferably around Hamburg, Bremen, Hannover, and Lüneburg. The project will start remotely, since I’m still based in Serbia. I’m not looking for “fellow musicians”. I’m seeking genuine co-authors and real comrades who can become as enthusiastic about the project as I am. And who take the conviction to make something that can last out of it seriously enough.

Now, let’s jump straight to the project.

“Syncrasy” is supposed to become a symphonic power metal band that explores philosophical concepts in the most literal sense, with the terminology from philosophers and sociologists such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Marx, Hobbes, Locke, Durkheim, and Weber directly embedded in the lyrics. The songs themselves explore particular eternal philosophical problems of cognition, religion, emotions, the soul, morality, social segregation, and other topics in the bluntest possible way by making the ordinary people with aspirations stretching far LESS than the concepts themselves inhabit those premises completely seriously.

So don’t be surprised if you see the material involving a genuinely tragic Dm song about a male stripper from Manhattan contemplating Weberian “Berufmensch”, a delusional narcissist evaluating sub-dom dynamics through the Hobbesian “Commonwealth”, or an entomologist extrapolating his pet fly’s death onto Durkheim’s “Suicide”.

The lyric-writing principle generally follows a formula — sophisticated verses flow into primitive, chanty, catchy, often linguistically moronic choruses. A song is allowed to depict revolting, disgusting, questionable, delusional, and repulsive characters without disclaimers about the atrocity of their actions. Instead, the arrangement like guitar solos, and the exposition in the clip/on stage, are supposed to argue with the “unreliable narrator”. The songs will frequently contain the “Syncrasy-coded language” — absurdly narrowed ordinary social situation, hilarious (sometimes cringe, sometimes comedic, sometimes horrifying) juxtaposition of the philosophical principle onto that situation by the protagonist of the song, and an absurdly stupid compression of the philosophical idea guiding that juxtaposition.

Therefore, before I outline the scenic concept further and describe the roles in the way I see them, I need to make one thing clear — “Syncrasy” should have an absolutely CLEAR stance condemning misogyny, socially coercive gender traditionalism, anti-LGBTQ+ harassment, racism, xenophobia, and all kinds of violent and abusive behavior, including radical nationalism and warmongering. Since many protagonists in the lyrics can say repulsive and disturbing things and we ALL, as co-authors, need to share an unambiguous unified position that “inhabiting is not equal to endorsement”.

To me, value compatibility goes far beyond “public PR and band’s image”, and that is why things like using group-level statistics to justify a derogatory treatment about this group, edgy jokes that go beyond abstract subjects and are directed towards real historical groups and classes, substantive sympathy towards the broader ideological frameworks reflected in the rhetoric of controversial public figures, those are hard filters for compatibility.

The band is planned as a 6-person lineup, with every musician performing in an animal costume with the following configuration:

1)The Raven — rhythm guitar;
2)The Hare — drums;
3)The Snake — bass;
4)The Pig — keyboard;
5)The Sheep — lead guitar;
6)The Rat — vocals.

Your level of mastery with the respective instrument is not important at all — ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS are welcome. Since the project is planned to last for decades (if everything goes well enough) I have an intention to learn together and clearly become a team in all sorts of meanings.

PS.

If you have read all this and, even briefly, had the thought: “WHAT EVEN IS THIS FUCKING THING?”, TEXT ME.

I’m ready to share some of my material, including pieces of melodies for the lyrics, and the texts of certain songs.

Subject: [Lyrical Collaboration] "Little Man" - Folk/Americana Storyteller Track (Looking for Composer/Vocalist)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to collaborate with an acoustic guitarist, banjo player, or folk musician to bring this song to life. I’ve written the lyrics and have a clear vision for the narrative arc, pacing, and dynamic shifts, but I need someone to compose the melody, instrumentation, and record the vocals.

Genre/Vibe: Traditional Folk, Americana, Indie Acoustic. Think storytelling roots music with an organic, raw feel.

Here are the lyrics, including some structural vocal cues:

"Little Man"

Lyrics by [Your Name or Initials]

Verse 1

One little man, asking me all his questions on life,

one little man, so afraid of tomorrow.

He don't see what the day can hold,

He lives alone in a shack across town.

This little man all by himself, doesn't know

whats to be found in a day, so heres what I say.

Chorus

Stand tall little man dont run away from tomorrow.

Stand tall little man and learn to live for today,

And maybe then you wont feel so hollow, And maybe

then one day you'll understand.

Verse 2

I told him a little advice, when the day seems dark,

you can be the light.

Shine on and scare those demons away and just remember

that tomorrow is a new day.

(Chorus)

Bridge

one little man realizing he's larger than life (all right)

one little man seizing each and every day (Hey, Hey)

use to be a little man so hollow, now his pain and sorrow

(fade away)

He has found a little someone who can help him find his way

(and she says)

End Chorus

Stand tall little man, dont run away from tomorrow.

Stand tall little man and learn to live for today.

I'll be with you, so you won't ever have to feel hollow

we all seem so small in the world and things we follow

But you and I can be something grand.

I am fully open to melodic adjustments or lyrical tweaks to help the song fit your composition flow, but songwriting and publishing splits (standard 50/50 for music/lyrics) must be agreed upon via split sheet prior to any commercial release or distribution (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).

Need 2 vocals to join my band...

4 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a singer (19M), songwriter, and self-taught producer, not very pro enough, but I'm going in it.

I already tried to build a full band but people wasn't serious, they gave up only after 2 months... I'm searching for a long-term things.

It shouldn't take too much time for you, and you can always do your side projects, but I need motivated people.

I mostly search for a Male and Female singer, around 18-25, that can record properly (with good mic), it's starting online then you should be able to record by yourself. No need to be a pro but not also searching for a very very beginner.

And preferably can go on social media promotion videos for the music, it's good if you also have other talent, but I mainly need a singer.

Feel free to directly DM me, I may don't see comments (disabled notifications)

Free demo development!

3 Upvotes

Trying to start a production company with my good friend Marwan. Offering freebies in exchange for written (or video if you can) testimonials and the right to use the song in before and after promo.
What we offer: we will take your rough idea, voice memo, or otherwise raw material and turn it into a fully fleshed, mixed and mastered song. We can offer acoustic and electric guitar, bass, keys, awesome midi drums, synths, arrangement as well as pretty good vocals (of two styles, we both sing). We don't play wind or orchestral instruments.
What we need from you: a demo. Fully written, and at least a portion of it recorded for the before and after. Both of us are songwriters as well, but for these freebies we're not looking to write the songs on top of the other stuff on offer.
Obviously if you want to sing your own song and/or track certain instruments yourself that's completely welcome.
No matter what, you pay nothing.
An example of my work: https://on.soundcloud.com/G1BaJ8aeTusP5GWCd8
An example of Marwan's work: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdCY0K8xcuR/?cplk=MWRlM214YW9mNXZ3dg==
Please reach out! Honestly even if you're not interested in the offer and are just a creative looking to chop it up! Networking is key!

Looking for a co-producer/songwriter or just someone to bounce ideas off of

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm a singer/songwriter/producer. Mainly working on indie, indie pop, folk, rnb, soul, and maybe something experimental.

I have been working alone for the better part of a year now and am feeling quite burnt out since I work on every project alone, from production to the mastering phase. That is the primary reason I am looking for someone who has some production skills and maybe songwriting skills so that we can share ideas and build on top of that.

Here are a couple of my songs, or you can check my profile: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5eyY2WA4AnIYVOnnrrhi9p?si=PnHKjx7LQVuuZfmg2ajyrg&utm_source=copy-link

Would love to hear your production, and if this is something you're interested in and you vibe with the sound, send me a dm. I have a few instrumentals that we can build on, or we can work on something completely new.

Looking for producers/songwriters to work with

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am an aspiring singer (female vocalist) largely interested in J-Pop/Rock, Vocaloid, EDM and Pop. I have been trained in singing at a music high school for four years (Jordan Misja Music School, Tirana, Albania).

Recently I have been active on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@SaorCovers where I post covers of my favorite songs, and I am looking to collab with producers/songwriters who are passionate about making this kind of music. I really enjoy artists like Ado, Aina The End, LiSA, Bebe Rexha, Jessie J, etc.

Usually I post covers, but I do not want to be limited to that. I am very open to working on making originals, but I am mostly an only-lyrics writer.

I live in Chicago area, in case there's anyone from Chicago who would like to collab. Please feel free to contact me here, and also if it makes it easier, my instagram is saradoka007. Thankyou! Looking forward to hearing from you!

[LFG] Looking for someone to record my backing track

2 Upvotes

I'm been trying to make my music more professional (or at least something that doesn't sound like it was cobbled together in my apartment) so I'm looking for someone who can make my demo into less of a demo. Right now it's recorded with a toned down guitar and drum machine, as well as a kazoo that doubles for a sax, and is meant to be a sort of Cramps, Tom Waitsy song. The bass changes for the verse and chorus and there's different call and responses, but other than that it's pretty simple. I built in a space to solo and honestly I'm probably going to cut everything after it because the songs a bit too long in my opinion, but I'll wait til I have a more real version to make that decision.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate if anyone who has a more professional setup can help me out here and thanks in advance for anyone who responds.

Looking for a vocalist for a Future Funk song!

Looking for a vocalist for a Future Funk song!

Hey! I’m currently working on a Future Funk track called “Vienna’s got a Future Funk?” and I’m looking for a vocalist to collaborate with.

The song is mainly driven by a funky, energetic groove with a strong electronic feel. It has a playful and catchy atmosphere, while still leaving room for a unique vocal performance and personality.

Some references for the vibe:
Lemkuuja - „Quais Quais”
Lemkuuja - „What’s a Future Funk?“

I’ll write the lyrics myself — I’m mainly looking for someone who can bring the vocals and personality to the track.

This is a free collaboration. You’ll get full credit for your contribution.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me and I can send a demo!

Looking for Creative Collaborators, Producers & Independent Music Projects

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm Anna (F/21) from Brazil.

I'm currently in my third semester of a four-year Visual Arts degree, and I'm looking to connect with people interested in collaborating on an independent music project with long-term ambitions.

I've always loved music and wanted to pursue something in this industry. Over time, I've been developing my own creative project, and as part of it, I've created an initial concept for launching a music group.

My idea is inspired by the growing international interest in Brazilian culture and talent, as well as the success of music groups, particularly those from Asian markets. I believe there's an interesting opportunity to bring some of these successful approaches together with Brazilian identity and develop something original, with its own concept, creative direction, and long-term vision.

The artistic side of the project is something I've already put a lot of work into. I've developed much of the group's visual identity, aesthetic direction, lore, and overall concept, and I've also started working on lyrics. I'm especially interested in building a project where the music, visuals, storytelling, and identity all work together to create a cohesive experience.

Right now, I'm looking for people who would be interested in helping me develop this idea further and bring it to life. I'm especially interested in connecting with:

• Independent music projects and creative collectives interested in collaborating or exploring a partnership.

• Music producers, composers, lyricists, arrangers, and songwriters who would like to contribute to the group's musical direction.

• Creative directors, visual artists, graphic designers, and other creatives who are interested in music-related projects.

• Small independent labels, studios, agencies, and creative companies open to working with emerging projects.

• People with experience in artist development, branding, marketing, music distribution, or project management.

• Independent creators who are interested in building something together from the ground up.

My main focus is on finding the right people to work with behind the scenes, especially those whose skills and interests complement what I've already developed artistically.

I'm currently working independently, so I'm open to different forms of collaboration depending on each person's experience, interests, and availability. I'm particularly interested in connecting with people who are genuinely passionate about music and interested in developing a project with a clear artistic identity and long-term potential.

I'm not simply looking for people to join a casual cover group. My goal is to develop a serious project with the potential to grow into an actual music group and eventually release original music.

I'm open to connecting with people from Brazil and abroad, especially independent creators, existing projects, and small companies that are interested in exploring new ideas and working collaboratively.

I can share more details about the concept privately with genuinely interested parties. Since some aspects of the project are confidential, I may request a signed NDA before sharing sensitive information.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to comment or send me a private message introducing yourself, your background, and the kind of collaboration you have in mind.

I'd love to connect with people who share a similar vision and see what we could build together! 💗
