This was such a fun track to put together. About a year ago I reached out to STYX drummer, Todd Sucherman, via social media to ask if he would put drums to my song. After listening he agreed and would let me know when he had a break to do the recording. You can check out Todd's website here http://www.toddsucherman.com/
I had the basic track recorded, but had the idea to add piano to the song. Not wanting to program it I found a gentleman on the site Fiverr called SpeedBuffalo, or Dennis Palitang. I told him what I was going for and he delivered. If you need affordable piano tracking, he's a pleasure to work with. https://www.fiverr.com/speedbuffalo
June 21st, 2018 I received this picture from Todd saying he had finished tracking my song, Raindancer, with his engineer, JR Taylor. JR also served as engineer for mixing this song and performed the acoustic guitar track in the song. I loved what he added to the track. JR is one of the most talented producers I've ever met. He took my song to the next level with his production and mix. If you need industry-standard, professional mixing at an affordable price check out his website https://www.jrtaylormusic.com/
Next came the artwork! I reached out to my good friend, Vincent DePorter. Vincent is a world famous comic artist who is most notably known for his work with DC and Spongebob Comics. His art really captured the feel of the song! Thanks Vince!
The last step of putting this piece together was mastering the track. I wanted to work with someone new and was very impressed with the work Dave Collins did on the most recent Metallica album. He's worked with some of the biggest names in the business and was a complete pleasure to work with. I accepted his first master because it was SO GOOD! http://www.davecollinsmastering.com/
I hope you enjoy the song. As an independent artist your support is all I have! Raindancer is available for download from https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/theonemanelectricalband7 Cheers!
