Hi all,
After over a year in Singapore I feel like it's time for me to get back in the music scene. I am a guitar/ukulele player that used to be a member of the Phnom Penh Hippie Orchestra when I was living in Cambodia. We would play a mix of Gypsy, Jazz and Klezmer music. Here is the band playing the old classic Chassidic Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHGOnY3KfHM) and the Jazz standard St Louis Blues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhybQ7p_qU4)
I would like to start playing with like minded musicians again. Ideally my immediate priority would be to find a violinist as it allows some interesting combination from the get go (for example something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFSs8lZUwDY or even better something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lGu8fY_wlk). Then ideally we could start adding more musicians (accordion, clarinet, trumpet, piano etc...). Covers would be the starting point but then definitely moving to originals in view to record and play gigs.
There are plenty of rock/metal/punk/indie bands in Singapore. I'd like to this there is space for something a little bit different. I myself is far from a perfectionist and all levels are welcome as long as you bring passion and enthusiasm. The rest will take of itself. So PM and let's get this Gypsy party started!
