Music Producer Peter Kearns Makes Web Waves
The classic art of making records is alive and well in cyberspace. New Zealand-based music producer Peter Kearns has made more than a musical noise over the past four years. Having spent the better part of two decades producing and performing in his homeland, he has now, thanks to the internet, moved his operation to virtually span the globe.
His multi-instrumental and musical arrangement skills are being utilized worldwide more and more via his consultations on the internet. In the past two years alone Mr Kearns has co-produced from a distance, up and coming Norwegian rockers 'Gazpacho', Dee Long from Canada's Klaatu, and has also contributed to various independent releases in the USA.
Peter has achieved this from such a great distance by recognizing the very real need that both burgeoning and experienced artists have for an objective set of ears during the recording process. He says "There are thousands of independent artists out there these days and only a small percentage of them have the budget to allow for a producer to helm their project. So much independent product comes so close but falls short of the mark through an innocent lack of two things; objectivity, and a real knack for making musical moves that keep a listener focused and continuing to listen."
Peter believes that one way new recording acts can garner even wider audiences for their albums is through the traditional means of recording with a producer that really understands where they're coming from musically and who steers them towards their vision unencumbered by the inobjectivity inherent in self-production. "There's really more to it than just doing your thing. It's no longer enough for an artist to merely express themselves. It's now become a matter of thinking smart and enticing listeners into accepting what you're delivering to them. Not through gimmicks, but through honest musical statements coupled with cut-throat concision."
Independent music is exploding and nowhere more than on the internet. By providing professional consultation to unsigned and indie acts, Peter feels he is fulfilling a requirement some acts may previously have found to be out of reach.
In addition to his work for others, Peter is in the process of completing his own debut album 'No Such Thing As Time'. It will be released independently, late in 2005.
