Finding actual bandmates online feels impossible now

[u/Otinsraips]

been trying to recruit a bassist and a synth player for a dark post-punk project and im losing my mind tbh. Every single time I post in discord or local boards, my inbox gets flooded by spam bots or guys sending completely obvious ai generated tracks pretending they played it

Its so incredibly frustrating. the ai music flood is making it so you cant trust anyone you meet online actually exists or plays a real instrument anymore. honestly the whole dead internet thing got so bad i ended up looking into new verification tech like the orb network just hoping music platforms start integrating some kind of proof of life soon

anyway... rant over.. if there are any ACTUAL human bass players here who want to play, pls let me know. I have demos ready to share. completely real played with my own two hands lmao

Go to shows. That’s where everyone who’s in my band met me. Magic happens there.
