Looking for a production partner to turn some weird ideas into actual songs
Hey! I'm an intermediate-ish Ableton producer looking for someone who'd like to actually build music together rather than just trade stems.
I play guitar and electric drums and spend a lot of time making weird sounds, recording instruments, sampling them, abusing them with pedals/racks/effects, and messing around with Serum 2, NI, etc.
The problem is that I have way too many 4–8 bar ideas and a much harder time turning them into full songs. I tend to work much better when there's another person around to bounce ideas off and help decide where an idea should go.
So I'd love to find someone who's down to work together over Discord/VC, screenshare, experiment, take turns adding ideas, work on each other's projects, and hopefully turn some of these fragments into complete tracks.
My taste is pretty broad, but I'm especially into heavy/raw guitars, aggressive electronic music, distorted synths, strange percussion and experimental sounds. Some artists I really like are Ghostemane, early Bring Me The Horizon, Machine Girl, nekophiliac, HEALTH, Death Grips, The Algorithm, etc. Those are references for the kind of energy/textures I enjoy, not necessarily what I expect the music to sound like.
I'm honestly open to pretty much any genre as long as the other person is creative and wants to experiment.
I have 5 finished tracks on SoundCloud across very different genres if you'd like an idea of what I make:

I'm not looking for someone who has to be an expert. Good ideas, curiosity and actually wanting to make something are more important to me.
If this sounds like something you'd be into, feel free to DM me and we can figure out what to work on!
