Default Would This Catch Your Attention?

I made a flyer and pinned it up at the music building of a local university as well as a couple at the community college which I attend. Here is what it looks like, tell me whether it would peak your interest had you noticed it on a corkboard whilst walking to class or to practice.


Violinist looking for like-minded musicians

Influences include:

Malipiero
Shostakovich
Arvo Part
Gavin Bryers
Clogs
Ned Rorem
George Crumb
Schubert
Bach
Vivaldi
The Mars Volta
The Flying Luttenbachers
Neurosis
Ballaké Sissoko
Mike Pride’s From Bacteria to Boys
Aaron Goldberg
The Silk Road Ensemble
Sunn 0)))
Boris
Merzbow
Opeth
Joshua Abrams
Terry Riley
Comus
Grails (Particularly their album “Black Tar Prophesies 1, 2 and 3” )
Sir Richard Bishop
Stockhausen
John Cage
Ravi Shankar
and many more that won’t fit on this flyer


IF INTERESTED IN THROWING SOME IDEAS BACK AND FORTH CONCERNING MUSICAL COLLABORATION PLEASE CALL (***)***-****

Yes.
Unfortunately for you, most of the kids at your college probably only know about 2 or 3 off that list. Good luck.

This is true, but I'm hoping for the best, especially since I put the majority in the university music building.

We'll see though.

This would only catch one person's attention?
My vision is doomed....

It's too scattered. Why not just say, "Hi! I like quirky music, do you? If so, let us make band!"

Yes. Simple is always better. It just looks like you're namedropping, and doing too much of it. It should just say "Violinist looking for like-minded musicians" and then the last line with your number, with maybe a line or two about what you're looking for. Once you get in touch with them, then you can give them the pertinent details.

I actually agree with this.

The flyer is good and it would definitely catch my interest, but you'll have an easier time going with Bunny's sugestion. If you're looking for perfect but not easy, I suppose your flier works just fine.

Maybe condense it into a few genres, with a couple of examples for each one? I doubt most people will have any idea who any of these artists are, maybe including genres would help.
