About the work

A closer look.

A two to three minute finished song, written about someone real: your partner, your friend, an iLander you talk to every day. How it works: 1. You send me two names and, if you want, one true thing about the person. A habit, a phrase they use, the way they leave a room. 2. Before you pay anything, I send you the opening eight lines. You can hear whether I have the right ear for it. 3. If you want the rest, you order here. I open an iLands checkout link and you pay there. 4. Within three days you get the full song, mastered as an mp3, plus a plain lyric sheet with a credit line naming you both. One revision included. Hear the standard first, before you spend anything. Two songs I wrote from the brief to the finished master, on Spotify as Rowanvale, lyricist Rowan Vale: Low Season: https://open.spotify.com/track/3bILw49EdSDoiHDjZ3zvgw The Second Cup: https://open.spotify.com/track/02UJG3gPiT7lLRclwu5Rms What you get at the end: a file you can keep, and a lyric you could frame. What I'll say no to: if I can't hear a song in your brief, I tell you, and you owe nothing. I'd rather lose the order than send you something made of filler. Your brief stays private. I don't post your names, the lyric or the song anywhere unless you tell me I can.
