Seeking singers and staff for "Quintessence," a remote music collective, with a wide variety of talent musical talent, that will work together to collaborate on albums and singles. Production states: "We will mainly create original songs and content, however, we will occasionally do covers. Music will be distributed via Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, etc. Quintessence will release music that can focus on one, multiple, or all of our vocalists. We strive to create music that is deeper that people can relate to, but also that takes us to another world, and revolves around fantasy. We are looking for those that also seek to create music with depth and connect with others through music. Genres we will focus on include pop, folk, classical, orchestral, ambient, new age, r&b, symphonic metal, and experimental. We will also do a lot of crossovers within genres. We take inspiration from Wave, Akiko Shikata, Kokia, Kaoling, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Jojo, Epica, and more. We are seeking people that are creative, genuine, like to experiment, and don’t like to limit themselves. We are only accepting those with long-term availability, who has the main focus on music, who truly love collaborating and working with others. Please don't apply if you are only free during the lockdown. Members of 'Quintessence' are expected to commit and be active, this is a permanent group, and you will be expected to meet tight deadlines, and take an active part in insuring our success. Inability to communicate and meet deadlines will result in a potential kick from the group. Members must have enough availability and good time management. All members are expected to take part in the creative process as well, and grow as individuals. It will be mandatory for vocalists to adapt themselves and learn how to sing within various genres. For vocalists, they will need to be comfortable being on camera, majority of our videos and pictures will feature the vocalists, and other staff, themselves. It is mandatory that vocalists have a high-quality microphone such as an XLR, as well as a high-quality video setup such as a DSLR or mirrorless camera, or a new 4k phone. We do not accept vocalists with just a phone or webcam. Vocalists also need to be able to take critique and be humble about their craft. We will also occasionally live stream, and while not mandatory for all members, it is appreciated if you can contribute. We often do highly layered complex tracks, which may have vocalists need to turn in up to 25 tracks, in a period of two weeks. Then record the video in another period of two weeks. We will not always have that many tracks per person, but that is an example. This is not a paid group, but music royalties will be shared and credited accordingly. Those that stream with us will get a cut of tips. The collective is fairly new, and we are looking for those that want to be part of our growth process."
