Ruins of Meaning is a developing progressive/art rock music project based out of Salem, OR. Existential and introspective, the music of this project is raw and earnest. I have the bones for a 13 song concept album that I'm looking to bring others in to flesh it out. Some musical influences are: Muse, Alter Bridge, Pink Floyd, A Perfect Circle, and Tool, but the sound of the project has yet to be defined entirely. This first album leans more towards the softer side but that more reflects the themes in the album. I'm a big fan of writing to serve a narrative/purpose. The vision is to let the sound of the band naturally develop as people come in and add their own voice. Seeking: Bass Piano/Keys When you respond, please say what you play, some of your musical influences, and what you're looking for out of a music project. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
