linwood Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 As musicians we get to wear many hats. I really enjoy wearing that arranger cap and working with other songwriter/composers and sharing in someone else's song. Last week I had the opportunity to work with Barbara Perry on a tune of hers. I was given a piano/vocal and the task of going "Disney" with it. The song is very well written and the vocal to die for so that makes my job easier. Anywho...here's the score as I wrote it...it could be cleaned up a bit, but you can see how the song is constructed if you follow along. I think she's written a great tune here. I used the Spitfire Orchestra and for rhodes glue the '85 preset in Rhodes Affair and the Ac piano is Keyscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 late to the party here, Linwood, but just did have a listen. Started on speakers but it sounded so good I stopped and put on headphones. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks Dave! It's been a fun project. Everyone is easy. I've done a couple for them now and have a few more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill5 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Old thread bump. I don't do this, I guess because songwriting is personal to me and I have very strong opinions about how things should be. Credit to those who can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Heins Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I'm with bill5 on this one! Last time I worked with other people was in an original prog band...I wound up paying for the rehearsal space, wrote all the material...even started piano lessons because we had a hard time finding a keyboardist and I had some basic skills and knowledge(I was playing just guitar at first)...now years later those piano lessons led to drum lessons and now I do everything myself in a home studio Bill 1 Quote http://www.billheins.com/ Hail Vibrania!

bill5 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Wow you're where I wish I could be but realistically never will, musically. I guess I'm thinking more lyrically. For me I think it's just that I'm a possessive mother with my material and don't play well with others. I dunno, I guess I just feel like whatever I write may not be great, but I at least want it to be "mine"....someone else coming in and changing things makes me feel like I'm letting some other guy nail my musical spouse and it's a bastard song. Maybe if I came into an existing song of someone else's and they were open to changes, I could work that way, but my stuff? Don't even go there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
