Matt Castelein on SoundBetter

Let me help you create your Acoustic/Folk/Americana song. Some people call it producing, I prefer track maker. I play acoustic guitars, electric guitars, lap steel, bass guitars, sing, some drums, some piano, sampled instruments (synths, horns, strings, etc), and help add some energy and excitement to your track. I also mix as I go.

Are you a singer/songwriter with a cool song with a rootsy acoustic vibe? Maybe you are a little more folk/Americana like Sierra Ferrell, or a little more indie like Big Thief, or a little more pop like Phoebe Bridgers. You've got a vocal and an instrument track or two, but you are looking for something more. Ideally, you have an idea of the direction you want it to go, including influences and specific artist references.

First we have an initial discussion regarding the song and where we each think we could take the song. If it seems like a fit, I try a bunch of stuff out in my studio remotely to see what works. I'll send you quick demos of ideas (usually just verse and chorus) until we have something you like. At that stage, I do the final version of the tracks and mix it at my studio, with unlimited mix revisions until you are happy.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
