Pianist to record a backing track needed

Post by tikto »

Hi, my dd would like to record a song which doesn't have a backing track available. We bought the sheet music but are having a hard time to find someone to record it for her to use. Does anyone on here know of a pianist who could play it and record it in MP3 for a small fee? Thanks

Yes - if you draw a blank, PM me and I can pass on details of an excellent pianist.

What is the track? One of us might already have it?

Going slightly Off topic - but do keep in mind that the result of tracks created from some sheet music is actually dire - not the pianist's fault, but the transcriptions are simply awful. The current trend for popular songs to have never featured a piano on the original, but perhaps guitar, or synthesised backing means that the piano version can be really, really bad. I heard recently a piano version of an Ed Shearan song, and whoever produced it should have been shot. It sounded so awful that everyone in the room was listening to the pianist trying to make a piano sound like a guitar, badly - and I don't think any of us was really even listening to the fella singing. He didn't get the job.
