  About Songsculptor and Rick Brown     Rick's BIO 

Songsculptor Music Service was created to provide assistance to the serious lyricist that is in need of Musical Collaboration and Song Production expertise on a 50/50 Collaboration basis or on a WORK FOR HIRE agreement.

Songsculptor is not for everyone. If you are a skilled musical composer, and have expertise in the field of "Song Production and Recording" you probably don't need any help from me.

NOW,  with that said  >  and if you think I may be able to help you  Turn Your Words into a SONG

 Welcome To Songsculptor 

Songsculptor provides Original Music for serious and aspiring lyricists.  Let me make one thing perfectly clear > I AM NOT a so-called "music mill".  Each melody and chord progression that I compose is fashioned to bring out the very best of your lyrics potential.   I am an Award Winning Composer and I take my music writing very seriously.  The bottom line is this: I love composing and recording Original Music and I am very good at what I do.   I  Testimonials from Lyricists   I  Reviews of our Song Demos

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE   I DO NOT charge any fee for composing music to your lyrics, and will also provide you ABSOLUTELY FREE an Instrumental MP3/MIDI file of your song melody/music  (5 piece Band Arrangement) for you to listen to before taking your song to the next level  “a Professional Full Band/Vocal C.D. Production”.  Please Note THIS IS IMPORTANT: Although I provide Professional Recordings of songs that I co-write with lyricists such as yourself on both a 50/50 arrangement or on a Work For Hire agreement, I am not a demo service. If you have a melody in your head for your lyrics but do not have the expertise to turn your Words and Melody into a Professional Song Production what you are in need of is a Song Demo Service. There are many very good reputable Demo Services available on The Internet. If this is your situation I suggest you do a Google search for "SONG DEMOS" or "SONG DEMO SERVICE" or something similar. To reiterate, the Professional Song Recordings I produce are limited to lyrics that are sent to me for the specific reason of having music composed to them. These are lyrics that I am confident that I can turn into a viable and commercially recordable song.  Is your lyric one of those? Why don't you send me one and find out. There's no obligation and I'll tell you straight out if your lyric has any potential. But please read my Submission Guidelines before submitting any of your lyrics. If your lyric doesn't (at least make an attempt) to follow the guidelines it will most likely be rejected. Also > I DO NOT accept any old mediocre lyric just in hopes that you will pay me money to produce a Professional Demo for you. My standards are too high and my time is too valuable for that kind of nonsense. So please do not feel badly if I do reject your lyric. It just means you need to work on it a bit more, and I will do my best to give you an honest opinion on how to improve on it. Believe me it will pay off for you in the end. I also urge you to Have A Listen to some songs I've had the privilege to co-write and record. This will give you an idea of my writing style and help you decide if I am the collaborator that is right for you. I don't claim to be the answer for everyone.

Why Songsculptor Does NOT charge to write music to your lyrics?

I want you to be completely happy and satisfied with the melody and chord progression I provide for your lyrics. If you are not happy with it then you are under no obligation to proceed any further and there is no cost to you at all. 

You really have nothing to lose.  I'm an Award Winning Composer, it's what I do BEST. I'm confident that you will love what I come up with for your lyrics. HOWEVER > if you decide that the melody/music that I have composed to your lyric is not quite what you're looking for,  I will not ask you for a dime, and you will be free to submit your lyric to another music service or composer.

for those who ask > WHY do I sell my musical compositions on a Work For Hire basis?

I have found over the years that there is a large number of people that prefer to work on a Work For Hire basis where they own 100 percent of the copyright. It's as simple as that. If this type of arrangement is for you please read on.

Have you heard the term Ghost Writer?  This is someone who is normally associated with the world of books and helps an author (who is not an expert in writing) to write a book. This is what I do in songwriting. I help lyricists who know little or nothing about music turn their words into a commercially viable finished song. 

Work For Hire is for those of you who would prefer to own 100 percent rights to your song, (Words AND Music). 

This is the technical meaning of the term "Work For Hire" (WFH) as defined by the U.S. Library of Congress Copyright Office.

In Summary >  you hire me to compose the music to your lyrics and record a Professional Demo for you.  With "WORK FOR HIRE" the finished song (Words AND Music), and the "Song Production" belongs to YOU  

- no splits - no cuts -  You own the resulting song (words and music) and the CD song production) 100 Percent  

C.D. SONG Production Rates  >  For Individual Compositions on a 50/50 basis and a WORK FOR HIRE agreement

Includes an Original Melody and Chord Progression composed to your lyric, and a Lyric/Chord Sheet complete with lyrics and chord cymbals.

As you can see my rates are extremely low.  Due to the current un-stable economic climate I've slashed my Song Production Rates significantly. Professional Song Productions of this caliber, "not to mention the original musical composition to your lyric" can easily cost several hundred and sometimes even Thousands of Dollars. Composing the music, then the recording process involved in producing a "Professional Radio Ready C.D." can take a significant amount of time and resources. I'm proud to offer a First-Class "State Of The Art" service that all financially-challenged lyricist/songwriters can afford. I cannot guarantee how long these low rates will continue so if you're serious about your writing I urge you to act now.

e-Mail me your lyric(s) now and I will provide a GREAT Melody/Chord Progression & Arrangement ASAP
