Searching likeminded people who enjoy experimenting and improvising!

Gitarist zoekt band in Rotterdam (Zuid-Holland)

Hi! I’m Tulio Laanen, 29, Dutch. I play electric guitar and am searching for people to play with in and around Rotterdam! I am open to anyone with a like-minded motivation. (A fun drummer would be great!) I wish to find people who also enjoy experimenting and improvising, having fun making sound, and living life creatively. I am not searching to play covers!

In my daily life, I am an art director/designer for an XR studio in Amsterdam, and I have lots of interests. I’ve been into music my whole life and play multiple instruments (piano, synth, bass, etc.). I’m not the most typical nor technically greatest player and I very much dislike notes and music theory, but I do know my way around a guitar in my own way.

I would love to meet people who approach music in a similar way. It’s hard to describe in words, but I guess I’d say I enjoy a more minimalistic approach. I think my playing style is a bit similar as say a; Jack White (White Stripes, The Dead Weather) or perhaps Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine). That being said, my musical interests span all fields: classical, rock, pop, folk, J-pop, metal, rap, etc. More artists I enjoy recently: Daði Freyr, First Aid Kit, Atarashii Gakkou, Babymetal, Stromae, RHCP

I also enjoy writing lyrics and singing. I’ve been learning Japanese for fun, and toying with the idea to try writing in Japanese, could be interesting.

Please do send me a message! Curious who is out there!
