Working With Others

How I Work:

Over the years I have collaborated with musicians from all over the globe.
here are some approaches that I found out to work well:
- Vocalists send me their voice recordings and I write a complete song around it and do the complete production.
- Singer song writers send me their sketches, add more stuff, arrange and mix everything
- band send me single files of all their recorded tracks, i work on the arrangement, produce mixdown and mastering
- producers send me their stuff and invite me for a remix
- exchanging song sketches and ideas with other producers/musicians and cocreate music over the net

20 year experience as live- and studio-musician.
20 years experience as mix engineer.
8 years experience as producer and composer.
8 years experience with online collaborations.

Like the sound!!! Hold on is awsome, really mellow and piano in any mix like this is without a doubt awsome! Gotta say the drums are sick too!
