The Producer
Before I got heavily into songwriting and singing, I was primarily a guitar player, and I used to do arrangements for songwriters and bands. Helping people improve their songs' music and lyrics, and developing arrangements-- if anything comes naturally to me, that's it. I'd love to work with an individual and band, help you with the songwriting and arrangements, and then go to a professional studio and record an album. So if you are looking for someone to produce a CD of your music, email me with your phone number and we'll talk.
Here's what Kurt Loken, bassist, singer, and principal songwriter of the Tucson band Faded Innocence said about working with me in that band:
Rob and I were in a band called Faded Innocence in 1995-96. We recorded two homemade cassette albums
called Charlie's Dream and Seasons Change to document our creative time together. I was the main
songwriter of the band, but Rob was the one who made the songs "music" that people might actually want to
listen to through his creativly composed guitar parts and skillful arrangements our songs. A few of the
songs from these albums can be heard at www.myspace.com/fadedinnocence2. We did not have
access to professional equipment for these recordings, but the high quality of the LoFi recordings was a true
credit to Rob's technical ability to push the limits of the equipment we used. The technical skill in the
recording and mixing of the final versions of the songs for these two cassettes was 100% Rob, and I can
take zero credit for any of that. Given the high sound quality that we achived with our modest
equipment, imagine what he could have done with professional studio's resources. I highly recommend
working with Rob.
Here's what a member of the Denver Songwriting Group, Ken Morris, said about my abilities to assist songwriters with their songs:
Rob has a true understanding of what makes a great song, and how to get there. His years of song critiquing and impressive list of songwriting training activities put him in a position to get a project completed from early development to finished tracks. Rob has a great musical sense and understanding of the way different chords, rhythms, lyrics and song structures go into making a song memorable. I hold Rob's abilities in high regard and recommend him if you are looking for a producer to oversee your project.
