Alex
is the very talented "musical wizard" producer: composing, arranging,
singing, and playing multiple instruments in multiple
genres. Roy sometimes
plays bass, but is more likely to be running the controls. We
can help you write, perform, and record your own original or cover
music, or we can write
and
record brand new music for you for any use that you might require:
singer-songwriter music demos or finished mastered songs; TV or radio
advertising jingle music; and film,
movie, or TV song placement and song or full
soundtrack composition; as well as creating
music videos. We can work with you in person or by sending
files over the web. We don't use MIDI programing, we play all
the instruments by hand (although we do like to use a metronome); and
we don't use Auto-Tune either, we work to
get the best natural vocal performance. Alex and
Roy are also the music and tech behind the Poppermost pop rock
music band based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Our instruments include:
Fender
Stratocaster electric and Brownsville acoustic/electric guitars, Zoom
multi-effects pedal, with Guitar Research 60w head and 4x8” bottom
guitar
