you remind me of They Might Be Giants.  This sound is unique fun.  Great production too.

Shades Of Bad

WEST Productions would like to welcome Abby Strickland to our team. This is Abby's first vocal with us, and we hope you enjoy it.  Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, mastering by Atman Sheth, cover art by Christina Carter.  I wrote and arranged the tune, and played and mixed it.

Where To Begin

The fourth tune the WEST Studios team has done with Kesha Parish singing lead vocals. Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, mix and mastering by Atman Sheth.  Cover art by Christine Carter.  I wrote and arranged the tune, and played the instruments.

This Wide Land

Bridgerton Scoring Competition (Music Only)

A song tune I wrote almost two years ago. Nothing like my current style, but my lyricist, Ingrid Schwartz, dug it out of a folder of old, mostly never-finished songs and asked if she could have a go at it.  I dusted it off a little (not much) and handed it over to her.  I liked the lyrics and the guide-vocal track she came back with, so I sent it along to Abby Strickland who sings this kind of thing for me.  Atman Sheth did the mix and master as always. Cover art by Christina Carter.

The Time Has Come

Newest offering from the team at WEST Productions. Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz; vocals by Abby Strickland, mix and master by Atman Sheth, Cover Art by Christina Carter.  I wrote the tune, arranged it, and played the instruments.  Enjoy.

Slip Out Of View

Another one from the team at WEST Productions. Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, vocals by Abby Strickland, Mixing and Mastering by Atman Sheth, and Cover Photo by Christina Carter. 
    I had a blast with this one - it's been too long since I threw everything imaginable at an arrangement, and it's a lot of fun to orchestrate with a pedal steel, a dobro, a horn section, a choir, and hand claps,  all in the same song... :)  Okay, I've got that out of my system. The three I'm writing now are all back to a more minimalist approach, but every once in a while, I allow myself one like this as a treat.  
    Enjoy.

Time Will Slip Away

The newest one from the team at WEST Productions.  Certainly not like our usual "Americana/Country" feel, it was time to rock out a little. Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, Vocals by Abby Strickand, Mixing and Mastering by Atman Sheth.

Drivin'

Another from the team at WEST Productions.  Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, vocals by Abigail Strickland, Mix and Mastering by Atman Sheth, music and arrangements by yours truly.  Was looking to capture that light, snappy pop-feel that was so prevalent in the 1970's.

Green

Another from the WEST Productions catalog.  Especially delighted with the way Abby Strickland sang the lead and harmony through the key change at 2:30.   Lyrics by Ingrid Schwartz, vocals by Abby Strickland, Mix and Master by Atman Sheth.  I wrote the music, and played and arranged the instruments.  Enjoy.
