Ingrid:
-
started violin at age 7, through influence of parents who were hippies that
also listened to jazz and classical
-
father played trumpet in Chicago style bands in the 70's and 80's
-
had paid positions in classical orchestras from age 12 and up, and often
played cheesy dinner music for tourists in PEI, also for $$
-
while getting more serious about playing violin (studied with a soloist from
the Tokyo Symphony), picked up the guitar as a teen and had a blast playing my
favorite songs at the time on it (60's shit LED ZEP! and Janis Joplin, as well
as the grunge stuff -Nirvana, Pixies, etc.
-
busked in scenic downtown Moncton in high school, playing guit and singing
more hippie stuff and Indigo Girls type crap with a friend-studied at the Conservatoire de Musique de Quebec for 4 years, then got
tendinitis
-
took a long break from playing to recover and to get BA, during which I
realized I wanted to rawk! No really I wanted to get out of confines of
sometimes anal and pretentious classical world and just get my freak on
-
having successfully removed the stick from up my ass, I decided to depart
from classical ambitions (used to want to join an orchestra in Europe) and put
my info up on montrealmusicsource to see who would reply, and have been jamming
almost every night since!
AGENDA The Rock Band

Hey, I saw your musicians wanted ad (can't remember where
exactly!) I've been dying to jam with people for a while now. I play violin
mostly, as well as guitar (I'm also trying to learn trumpet, and possess various
other instruments I don't use much). I'm classically trained on violin but want
to play and learn other styles. I live in the Plateau too.
Have you found some other people yet?
Hope to hear from you soon!@

Hello. hello Ingrid. Your response is really cool. we are looking
for a lead instrumentalist. Classical training is the strongest
base to
build upon with blues and jazz. All the rest stems from
there.
My name is Todd and the drummer is Mike (Meeshka). Our influences
range from Jazz to punk to metal to funk to rock to country. All
dancable.
We like it when it grooves. ( when I think of violin in Rock I
think of the band A Perfect Circle). We love to jam. We usually do it
on wednesdays at 19h30 at xxxx St-Laurent Blvd. Just north of
Fairmount (which is north of Laurier). I have over 80 songs written and
Mee-shka has a bunch. We are open to other songs. We are open to
experimenting. That is...different instruments, different effects
on violin,
horns, or Bass or vocal arrangements. In one of my old
bands we did a Cover of Black Sabbath's war pigs with Claude Allard at
lead Saxophone. The Cops came... I thought it was to shut us
down. No... it was to listen. It was amazing. Therefor I am very open
to new
combo's. My lyric's are a bit on the political activist
side.
We believe in meaningfulness. There is also an esoteric and
spiritual aspect to our lyrics (not religious though). If this interests
you then...
great! I will call you this evening after supper or you
can call me anytime at
514-595-xxxx.
Watch Ingrid's tour section to see where she will be appearing next because she does get around the
town.
