Voice:
Voice-as-instrument performances, rather than lyric interpretation; particularly in Bossa Nova, and World Music styles. (Hear: http://deCygne.com/jazzvoice.html) Give me your melody, along with basic changes, (ideally with a rhythm section indicative of where the arrangement is headed), as well as lyrics, (so I am interpreting the right emotions), and I'll provide you with a voice-as-instrument version.
Will also sing vocals;
English,
(Eur.) Portuguese,
French
Russian
Spanish
Quenya (Elvish)

Interview with Art of Pop
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Use a high pass filter on all completed vocal tracks, cutting off the lower 80Hz, for male voices, and the lower 120 Hz for female voices, to give them extra lift in the mix.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All kinds, except hate music, and Satanic music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Equally strong in both post production, composition, and voice. Audio: Excellent at "micro-editing"; i.e. seamlessly slicing, and splicing. Composition: Smooth feel; I composed the uber famous Kill Bill Whistle ring tone distributed by Faith West, back in the day--even people in the company thought it was actually a person whistling. That's the subtlety that I deliver in my finished tracks.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Audio Post-Production: Sense of what feels best to the heart, relative to any given change rendered to the track. Composition: I make MIDI composed music feel like people are actually playing the instruments. Voice: Lyric voice, passionately light, (not brassy, or ballsy), fluid imagination, and imaginatively expressed melody.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Audio post production: Assess client's desired result. Determine reasonable time estimate. Secure agreement with client for the job. Deliver the job, at or below estimate; if time exceeds estimate, estimate is nonetheless ceiling. If time is less than estimate, customer is billed less than estimate.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a small digital studio, based in Roland Sonar Producer X3 , Reason, Yamaha XG Works, iZotope, Waves, Soundforge Pro, and Goldwave.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Quincy Jones; David Foster; Mutt Lange; Giorgio Moroder
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Audio Post Production, and MIDI Composition
