I'm sorry, man. I'm not looking to make enemies on this board and I'm not insinuating that anyone is soulless, unfriendly or uninterested. My actions are born from ignorance rather than malice. I found a great artist by a recommendation from a friend, but have had no luck asking around for a musician. So I'm posting here as a true noob, a first-timer, and getting more responses than I ever expected (specifically, more than one). I have to find a way to qualify and disqualify people, so I'm going with my instincts, poorly honed as they may be.
That said, I have done a poor job of explaining my game and specifically what I'm looking for. People are PM'ing me, saying they work in genres or subgenres that I didn't even know existed. It's a new world for me.
I'm going to take my design doc, carve up some sections and try and explain a little more about the music I'm looking for. Maybe that will help. Or I'll get in more trouble than I ever imagined.
