Who Cares What The Deputy Thinks? Will A One Man Band Do?

Bill Watson can reduce the budget on your project by providing multiple instruments for a lower total rate.

If you can’t afford an “all session player” recording perhaps a one man band recording will work?

So here’s a sample that can best be described as total strangeness, lol, but it does demonstrate my abilities fairly well.

One-man-band style, our producer wrote it, played the guitars and other instruments, plus sang the vocals (if you want to call it singing) through a harmonizer, produced, arranged & mixed.

He programmed the drum track on the Roland R-8 machine.

That bizarre melody thing happening through the intro, repeated just after on guitar, that sounds like it must be a synthesized kazoo part or something? Nope, vocal through a vocal effects processor.

Weirdness.

That spacey, wild electric lead guitar? If you think it might work on your song, just reference this post and ask.

So, would a one-man-band type of demo do for your needs?

Pricing on one-man-band projects is somewhat less than for a full band of pro session players and, depending on your goal for the project, may suit your needs.

Please note that one-man-band skills are limited to drum programming, bass guitar, rhythm guitar, lead guitar (acoustic or electric) and keyboard sounds like strings, choirs,  B3 patch, assorted pad sounds, and such.

For piano a real piano guy may need to be hired. For vocals a pro singer may need to be hired. Some pop and rap is better with a drum program and/or drum loops but for most styles a real drummer does make a difference.
