John Durant Music Productions
John
Durant Music Productions in Nashville, Tennessee is a private digital recording studio where John Durant
and his co-writers write, record and produce original songs and instrumental compositions for publishers and
for independent release. The studio is not available for hourly studio bookings at this time, but that policy
may change as the studio grows.
The music at John Durant Music Productions falls into many genres, and the primary goal
is to produce high quality songs and recordings that can be pitched to publishers, record labels, and also for sync
licensing opportunities in film and TV. There are currently songs in production for independent release, and announcements
will be made as those songs become available.
Interested in co-writing?
I'm
pretty well booked up with co-writing sessions at this time, but I'll consider new co-writing opportunities
if I feel that a collaboration may have extraordinary potential. I prefer to work with folks who are very
serious about their songwriting craft, and who have an exceptional amount of talent, creativity, and determination to produce great
songs.
I prefer to write both music and lyrics at the same time, and usually produce the demo (full
production/arrangement) during the songwriting sessions. Most of my projects will be pitched to publishers/labels, but
in some cases, the songs can be released independently as singles if we decide to take that route.
Need a demo recorded?
If you're just in need of a
producer/studio to help you put a demo together for a song you've already completed, please send me an mp3 of the
copyrighted song and I'll evaluate it for a possible demo production. We can discuss the project details if
I decide to take on the project.
Please contact me at 615-717-1397 if
you're interested in co-writing or if you need a demo produced.
Thank you,
John
"The Importance of Music in Our Lives"
(copyright 2007 by John Durant)
*Article written for the Helium website
Music is a very colorful thread woven into the entire fabric of our lives. Soon after birth we hear
our first melodies as our mothers hum soothing lullabies to help us sleep. We learn nursery rhymes that are designed to both
entertain and educate us in our preschool years, which help build the framework for the social and language skills we need
to function in society.
We’re taught music in school,
and some of us participate in the school marching band, orchestra, or theater. We sing church hymns to help build our spiritual
being, and patriotic songs to give us a sense of national identity. In every step of our lives music places another brick
on the foundation of who we are.
Music has helped each
one of us find our unique social niche, bringing us together with other folks that share similar interests. It documents the
history of social and cultural changes in society, and is always in a state of perpetual evolution, combining new ideas with
older ones to create a sound that’s unique to each generation. Familiar songs help us recall special moments in our
lives, such as our first love, or maybe our first kiss.
Music
of all genres in television, radio, film and the Internet have become an indispensable commodity. With the increasing popularity
of websites like MySpace Music, more music is available to us now than ever before. Our appetite for new music is insatiable,
and many of us have enormous libraries of music at our fingertips to suit whatever mood we may in in at the time. Digital
music players and cell phones store hundreds of our favorite songs to carry wherever we go, and many popular songs are used
in video games like “Guitar Hero” or “Rock Band”. Music is used to sell everything from beer to burgers.
As a professional musician, composer and songwriter, music is my life. My dream has always
been to write songs that will move people and hopefully make a difference in their lives. I can’t even imagine a world
without music!
