I'm Free (remix), by John Durant/Kathlena Luft on OurStage


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!

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


 

"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!
