The Swiss Navy. Monuments. Saints. All potential names for a project I'm going to be working on over the coming months; partially to kill time, partially to keep me sane/distracted. I can't think of a sophisticated way to describe what I'm trying to do without cringing, so I'm going to be boring and use plain English:

Post-rock in the vein of Explosions In The Sky, Russian Circles, Cult Of Luna, with lyrics which, right now, I'm thinking are based around the sea. I've noticed a lot of what I've already written down without this in mind has ended up being about the sea anyway, so I'm going to go with that.

However, I'd also like to do at least one song where the words are sent in by friends of mine, with the intention being that the finished thing would be something that, in a disjointed sort of way, sort of makes sense concpetually. If anyone reading wants to contribute, leaving something as a comment seems to be the most sensible way to do so. It doesn't have to be written especially, just something you're proud of, or means something to you. If you can figure out how, you can even keep anonymous. It could be like a musical post secret or something, I don't know.

I'll keep posting here intermittently about how this whole thing goes, even if no-one really cares. It'll be fun/interesting to see how this pans out.

Whilst I'm talking about musical ventures, I'd also really like to play a part in some sort of fucking mental punk/hardcore band, or something super-energetic where I'll end up covered in at least sweat, probably bruises, and possibly blood. It's not some latent-self-harm-tortured-artist type thing, it's just that the idea of being loud and passionate seems awesome. If anyone cares; The Bronx, Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Cursed, and (odd one out!) the first Brand New album are all the sort of thing I mean. Again, get involved if you want.
