Updated with some examples:

First 2 of 6 tracks I've worked on for @victorludorum ;




First album from J R Harbidge due for release in September:

Alongside my usual band stuff last year I also recorded keyboard parts for a guy who is releasing an album this year. Never met him - he sends me the tracks and I just track keyboard parts against them and send him wavs back which he then mixes / keeps what he wants / discards what he doesn't / sometimes asks me if I can try something different etc.

I quite enjoy the process and would be interested in doing more along these lines if anybody is interested - amatuer remote keyboard session work I suppose (for free, although I obviously expect to be credited).

Only really interested in projects that are planned for some kind of release and of a reasonably competent standard, and I guess it mainly works where the keyboard parts are additional rather than central to arrangements

Piano / organ is my bread and butter, but I've also done some melotron / strings etc, and can do synth tones / other noises. Genre wise I'm fairly flexible although melancholy indie singer songwriter stuff / americana is what I'm most familiar with.

PM me if you're working on anything I might be interested in

    Sounds like there's already some keyboards going on at some points, but if he needs some more doing on new stuff I could probably help - from listening the main thing would be to understand where he wants space vs more or less playing - the delayed guitar fills a fair bit of room on its own

    Have you made this offer in the "making music" section?  I guess that it's more casual work in there, but there are some very interesting pieces of music that get put together and shared - for example in the various monthly challenges
    :)

    And, having heard your playing at the Quad jam, I'll certainly take you up on the offer when I get finished with all the house projects and have time to do some semi-proper music making.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Sure, and feel free to let me know if there's something you've got in mind for them keyboard-wise

    Me too, I've just got a new computer and I've been busy doing a total revamp of my setup. My vocalist is also doing his final year exams at uni, so things have been pushed back somewhat. Thanks for the generous and kind offer though
    If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

    Tasteful additions, less is more. Are other parts going to be added, drums, bass, etc.?

    I also did the drums and double bass which is on the first of Victor's tracks above, and the percussion on the 2nd - think he regards them as complete now (for now anyway).

    There's more traditional rock piano and organ on the j r harbidge tracks. Bit of mellotron too

    Thanks for taking a listen.

    I know the name's not exactly the same, but how did J R Harbridge not call his first album 'Fly Fishing'!

    Yeah - I'm not sure if he's made that connection as yet!
