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 to production
companies in film and TV. Plans are in the works to form a publishing company focused on pitching and licensing the
growing catalog of songs and compositions being produced right now. There's also a good possibility that
a record label may be formed to handle promotions, bookings, and artist development as business increases.
There are currently songs in production for independent release, and announcements will be made as those
songs become available. John Durant will be releasing several songs as singles for digital download only, but he is
planning to put together a compilation of songs for release on CD.
There's a lot of excitement
here at John Durant Music Productions as each new song is being written and recorded. Stayed tuned for some great new
songs, and please pass the word around when you hear something we've recorded that you really like! Thank you!
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 via email
at johnpdurant@hotmail.com if you're interested in co-writing or if you need a demo produced.
Thank
you,
John
Check out my tunes on OurStage!
I recently joined a new music rating site called OurStage, and I invite you to join and support my music.
Just click on the banner below to go to the site. You can also buy digital downloads from there, and at this time, I
prefer that you buy them at Ourstage because they're offering artists a special promotional rate for the download
sales. I really appreciate your support! Thank you!

"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!
