Working With Others

How I Work:

Piano: My background is in Classical music, Romantic era primarily. It translates best to pop/rock and ballads... that sort of playing is what I'm best at. Jazz, funk, etc... really not my thing, I'm just not funky. I'm available to play on gigs and recording sessions in NYC, and of course, to record for your tracks on Indaba. Please message me so we can discuss, payment will depend on the project/session.

Producing/engineering: Though it may be strange to produce a track via Indaba, I wouldn't hesitate to participate is such a project. You can hear some of my productions on this page and decide for yourself if you like my style and would like me involved. Again, if you're in the NYC area and are looking for an engineer or producer, message me and we'll discuss.

Experience:

Undergrad studying Recorded Music at the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at New York University.

Equipment:

Instruments:
upright yamaha piano, 88-key yamaha keyboard p-80, nord lead2x synthesizer, akoustik piano - native instruments.

Recording:
ProTools M-Powered 7.1, via an M-Audio ProjectMix I/O, API Lunchbox with pair of 512Cs and A-Designs EM-Blue series, stereo pair AKG 414s, 2 MXL-990s, 2 Shure SM57s, 2 Sennheiser 421s, Groove Tubes GT-55, G5 PowerPC Dual 2.3gHz tower with 4gb ram, all Monster, Mogami, or RedCo cabling in use, IK Multimedia CSReverb, Waves Renaissance plug-ins (compression, verb, delay, eq).

***Currently upgrading setup, no longer have ProjectMix I/O, just an M-Audio Firewire 410 until I can afford upgrade. Using a Euphonix MC-Control as a control surface for mixing. Upgrade will include Apogee 800, Dangerous Audio D-Box, and additional pre's.

Everything in the song is original, just my own guitar sound I created in Reason. In fact I don't even have Recycle in order to sample, so it kinda forces original creativity! Thanks for listening...

Love your piano work man! I would have to say Gone is my favorite.... though the lyrics are quite depressing. I love how the artists connects with the feel of the piano. Great Work! And the strings add a nice touch. Simply Amazing!

Thanks, Yeah I agree It's too long of a song for just repeating. I want to remix it, but I'm so hastey I've got a new song started, and I hate jumping around with songs b/c they end up not finished ever. It's complicated. I hate working on a song for more than a day b/c I only have 1 day out of the week to make music (it sucks). It's like half now half next week. I guess as time progresses I will be better at making songs quickly, and the quality will be great (HOPEFULLY)! Thanks Again, Josh

Hey bro, I got a new song posting within the next few hours check it out been workin on it for about 7 hours now. It's a remix so I will try my best to give everyone proper credit (unlike the FOB remix lol). The vox are a little bit off b/c I dont really have any equiptment to do vox properly, but it sounds cool either way (in my mind at least).
Peace,
Josh

hey thanks a lot for realy taking a listen to the music and giving good feedback. yea i record in a home studio thats why it sounds like that. not to mention the guy i record with has about as much experience with recording as i do which isn't much. your stuff on the other hand sounds good. the piano melodies are awesome. you've got some serious skills.


Josh Bisher wrote on September 16, 2008:

The strings on that song are actually from a string quartet (don't remember who b/c it's on my other comp). I'm sorry to admit all I did was add drums and bass. I was just having fun with that one. I feel very illegal doing it b/c to me thats song theft, but I never intend to take claim for that song I should probably remove it.. You think?
