Explaining what I want the Studio Engineer to do!

Thanks for taking the time out to listen to my work. I stumbled onto this site completely by accident. Ok – a little about myself.

I’ve been writing and playing for more years than I care to remember and had a few brief encounters with fame. I play several instruments but my love is the guitar. Been in and out of the studio several times. Played before live audiences at various venues.

The music posted on this site was produced and recorded using “Logic” on a Mac Pro via an M-Audio firewire interface box.

Please note that these are works in progress and have been provided as a brief representation of my work.

All Music and Lyrics are owned and copyrighted by Koodray Music Inc.

Vocals: J. Koodray
Instruments: J. Koodray

I’ve been lucky enough to have some older songs receive airtime. Other music has been considered for movie soundtracks. My plan is to post more completed songs in the future.

Again – thanks for listening – don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t forget to vote and leave a comment. Hope you enjoy and will check back again for more music.

Regards,

Joe

What you doing about it - Devoted to all who lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11/2001. Pictures and videos were shot in lower Manhattan two weeks after the attacks by me and are not represented for profit or exploitation. The World Trade Center was part of my normal daily commute and on 9/11 I had another adventure. I took off from Newark Airport at 8:20AM on a 767 headed for Houston - thats another story for another time.
