I'd like to make music with you and & apply it to some stories I've written comics for. My intention is to keep working on this with different artists in an effort further push the project into animated content for music videos, art galleries & even live performances. I already have a visual art team but I need some girls willing to voice & sing.
My goal is to have artists work on this project so it may have music ready before summer. The deadline for the music to be finished and released is on June 6th of 2019. I started this project as a book, its now in the stages of becoming a published project and now I've made the decision to move this project into an animated gallery with live music. The music will eventually become pressed on vinyl for people to enjoy while reading the physical copies of books, paintings, etc...
WARNING: this project is by all means wholesome and family friendly, but will have thematic elements due the nature of these stories. However, since one will be responsible for making their own decisions by selecting pages to turn to-- one will also be responsible for what music they end up listening to as a result. This means that even though this concept is designed for general audiences, one will have the power to write in their own story and even go so far as to make it an unpleasant.
with that said: Imagine how much fun this could be for people that dont mind performing the music?

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Analog hahaha digital is too compressed but most people prefer digital or they dont care at all. My guitar amps are Orange so analog is my team.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Your sound will be unique and savory by the time it hits your stream.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to make new music every time someone walks in!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How long does it take to record a song? I tell them anywhere between 24 hours to 1 week depending on how many others are involved in the creative process and how much work ethic is involved.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: My samples are very heavy and almost too much for some ears...however I know the magic of polyrythms and how they help synchronize almost any sound one is looking for at any bpms
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: 1) Where do you want to see your project in 1 year? 2) What is your current favorite song you/someone wrote? 3) Do you prefer digital or analogue sounds?

A: Be ready with a demo or a sample track for us to mash up. This will help us break the ice and get into the habit of working together with both of our perspectives and abilities.

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Quality Intrusive Thoughts.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Alicia Keys. Her work is very versatile and moving, and I am convinced she would be willing to mix R&B with some heavy gain electric guitar.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Make sure to use a noise canceler before recording heavy gain guitar. Never do anything for free unless you plan on sharing it with everyone.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Freestyle and free form experimental tones.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I am proactive creative director with the ability to awaken unforeseen styles in clients.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I add dynamic soul and tone to ANYBODYS sound. I also increase productivity and work ethic in projects by memorizing it verbatim and synchronizing my weird sound to everyone's contributions. I am also great at managing sessions by helping others retain focus and stamina through simple excersizes. I also am a bank for new ideas, which usually sparks new projects on the spot. My influence in a song keeps people intersted in furthering their career and expanding their ability to experiement with unforseen synchronization.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I record live sessions with clients first, then follow up with focusing on the sound my team members and clients have synchronized easiest with. This makes the turn around time easier to reach within 24 hours, and influences others to progress into another song immediately. If I work alone, I simply freestyle lyrics while on my guitar or computer's software and begin to memorize everything verbatim. I do NOT commit to a sound if I don't feel an emotional connection to it.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a few studios I work at. My home studio has a vocal booth and an open Jam area for live sessions. Orange Amps, rare high quality Chapin guitars, AKAI equipment, 5 piece acoustic drums, several Bass and acoustic guitars, yamaha keyboards, analogue and digital environment.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Zach Hill, The Raincoats, Alkaline Trio, TLC, Kero Kero Bonito, Death Grips, Crystal Castles, E-40, NAS, Atmosphere, Tom Waits, Fall Out Boy, Slushii, The Black Dahlia Murder, Alicia Keys, Kittie, Jimi Hendrix, CAN, Tracy Chapman, Sade, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and much more.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I am a multi-instrumentalist that can freestyle lyrics, write lyrics, write songs, record songs and produce remixes or beats.
