Music Producer – Atmospheric Alt-Pop Album

About the role

This role involves transforming acoustic singer-songwriter demos into a cohesive, alternative pop album with a distinctive atmospheric and cinematic edge. The project requires building upon existing lyrics, vocal melodies, and chord structures to create polished tracks that blend dark, moody textures with modern pop and R&B influences. The ideal sound references the cinematic melancholy of Lana Del Rey and the rhythmic, confident energy of Rihanna's Anti era, resulting in emotionally resonant music that highlights the strength and clarity of an alto vocal. The producer will collaborate remotely, iterating on tempo, key, arrangement, and production details to ensure the final product is both unique and true to the artist's vision.

• Collaborate remotely on arrangement, structure, and production details
• Provide production samples that demonstrate relevant alt-pop or dark R&B work
• Potentially contribute to vocal production and arranging for later vocal-tracking sessions

Requirements

• Strong skills in instrumental composition, arrangement, and sound design
• Proficiency with modern music production software and tools
• Ability to create atmospheric, emotionally resonant tracks with a feminine, powerful edge
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for remote project work
• Portfolio of previous work that aligns with the desired sonic direction
