In this blog series I’ve been telling the story of how a hit song is made. A hit song that is not yet a hit song, mind you. But if the story is true about the large family in Tennessee that thrives entirely on the royalties generated by “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”, then I want to be on track to create a hit song that is only slightly stupider than that one.

My song is called “Poopy Diaper”. So far I’ve outlined how it was conceived creatively and the business strategy behind its launch. Today I want to talk about the cast of characters involved in the making of this cultural masterpiece.

Co-producer Vance Kelly and I met while I was playing keyboards for a Jimmy Buffett tribute band named A1A. Vance was a founding member of the band and was in fact its original keyboard player. But in order to fully flourish in his new role as “managing impresario”, the bandmembers thought it best if someone other than Vance worried about flawlessly performing the glockenspiel part in “Come Monday” while wearing a tropical shirt.

Vance had extensive experience as a sound engineer and had done a phenomenal job mixing A1A’s live album. So when he asked if I needed production help on any of my music I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough.

Having a co-pilot is essential for me when a producing a track. The world is full of geniuses who can lock themselves in a dark room alone for days at a time, write music and be happy as a clam (Tom Scholz anyone?).

I am not one of those people. I am a social creature who has had enough “greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts” moments with fellow musicians to know that my brain alone cannot get it done. Others must be involved and their input is critical. Therefore Vance’s entreprenurial passion for producing a great product and wearing any hat necessary made him indespensible to this recording project.

Marcus Beck is currently a rising senior at Centennial High School in Roswell, GA and one of its star varsity football players. What many of those football parents do not know is that he’s a phenomenal rapper – the kind of freestyle rapper who can spit out rhyme after rhyme in a way that’s relevant, emotional, well-crafted and genuinely moving.

My teenage son Josh, a linebacker on the same football team and also a vocalist on “Poopy Diaper”, once hosted a jam session with Marcus on vocals. I watched awestruck as Marcus flowed with a live band, improvised words from his head and matched the musicians’ intensity with complete confidence.

So what better way to reward that kind of talent than by involving him in a project the world will never forget called “Poopy Diaper”? The 16-bars of the song over which Marcus raps is absolutey awesome.

Then there’s the “gang sing” section in the song that required a bunch of  dudes to yell. We had Josh, Marcus and their football buddies show up at Vance’s home studio, eat a disturbing amount of pizza and lay down a bunch of loud, out-of-tune vocal parts. That night was, to me, was the most fun part of our little project. Their names of these young men have been withheld because I haven’t had a chance to ask their parents for permission to list them here.

When the subject matter in question is the containment of feces, it just seems prudent to ask. It’s on my to-do list.

Which leads me to our lead vocalist. We’ll call her Anonymous. She laid down all the vocal tracks in one evening. In the time we’ve known eachother Anonymous and I have had many fun conversations where we’ve dreamed about being rich and famous.

With a song like this, however, Anonymous just wants to stick with rich.

Stay tuned for my next installment of this blog series when I discuss the publication of our beloved ditty. ‘Til next time!

While a popular song might only cost $0.99 on iTunes, this allows for personal use only, and not for commercial use.

A high-quality, royalty-free music track can keep you and your company legal and it can help you professionally complete your wedding video or slideshow without breaking your budget.

Location: Alamosa, Colorado

Member since: January 7, 2014

Tracks in portfolio on MusicRevolution.com: 26 (click here to hear all tracks) http://www.musicrevolution.com/search?artist=92361

–Background—Matthew Schildt is a pianist/composer from New York now living in Alamosa, Colorado. Matt teaches music at Adams State University. He has played piano/keyboards for several PBS documentaries, and has had music used in several theater productions and films. Matt has also performed as a violinist and violist in several bands in Colorado and Northeast Ohio. Matt has original compositions, ranging from upbeat and jazzy to pastoral and introspective. His songs range from solo piano to fully orchestrated compositions with violin, viola, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, percussion, bass, and french horn.

High profile projects or clients you have worked for? 

I have had music used in several films and theater productions, including the documentary A Shared Space by Brian Fuller and the play Firstborn by the Black Repertory Group in Berkeley, CA. I have also performed on two PBS documentaries, Still Waiting: Life after Katrina and Lifting the Weight of History.

Primary Instrument? Favorite music-making piece of gear or software you currently use?

I have played viola since I was 9 and piano since I was 16, though I play mostly piano on my recordings. My favorite piece of gear is my Yamaha Clavinova and my favorite sounds are from Native Instruments Absynth.

Film score or song you admire? Why? 

So many great film scores to choose from…I love the music to Cinema Paradiso, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Fargo, amongst many others. My favorite song would have to be First Circle by the Pat Metheny Group. Like much of Metheny’s music, First Circle has a sense of journey with gorgeous, unexpected twists along the way.

Music education background?

I did my undergraduate study in music technology and music composition at Lebanon Valley College and received my masters and doctorate in music theory and composition from Kent State University. I currently teach music at Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado.

Most embarrassing music-related moment?

There have been lots of embarrassing moments where the winds of southern Colorado have blown the music off of my stand, though my most embarrassing moment would have to be when I shattered the piano bench and ended up on the floor during one of the first music classes I ever taught.

If you had a time machine and could record or perform once with any artist, who would it be?

This is tough, though getting to do anything at all with Miles Davis or Jerry Garcia would be pretty amazing. Playing piano behind Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday would also be up there.

Moment you first knew you would be a musician?

I think I always wanted to be a musician, though I knew I wanted to pursue music as a career when I first started piano at the age of 16.

Advice you would give to a younger family member interested in a music career?

While I would definitely advise putting lots and lots of practice time in, I think it is important to try and develop a personal voice. I think your personality should shine through with whatever you do, whether it is composing or playing saxophone.

Five songs or albums you’d take with you to a desert island? 

Pat Metheny Group Still Life (Talking)

Pink Floyd Animals

Miles Davis Kind of Blue

Joni Mitchell Blue

The Beatles Revolver

If you could master another instrument, what would it be?

Definitely the mandolin.

Favorite time of day to work in your studio?

I love working late into the night. That is easier some days than others, though I love when I get the chance to work really, really late.

Any studio collaboration you experienced that stands out in your mind?

My collaboration with Howlin’ Dog Studios with Don Richmond on my CD Open Spaces was a great experience. I am very excited to be recording an upcoming CD there this spring.

Some of your favorite tracks that you would want us to feature in the blog.

The following three are my favorites–

Pathways http://www.musicrevolution.com/search/?trackid=45460

Open Spaces http://www.musicrevolution.com/search/?trackid=45459

Alamosa Moon http://www.musicrevolution.com/search/?trackid=45466

Perfect Spring http://www.musicrevolution.com/search/?trackid=45464 has sold well, as has Mystery Surrounds http://www.musicrevolution.com/search/?trackid=45631 , which is a piece I wrote for an Alice in Wonderland production.

We thank Matthew Schildt for sharing some of his musical background with us and for contributing his tracks to MusicRevolution.com, the Royalty-Free Music Marketplace. Matthew Schildt’s compositions are mostly piano based, and many songs are fully orchestrated and lushly arranged. In addition to acoustic compositions, Matthew has also written many ethereal, ambient synthesizer-based pieces. The next time you need music ranging from quiet and introspective to upbeat and jazzy, check out Matthew Schildt’s music on MusicRevolution.com.

When I think of musicians who are synonymous with great guitar work, both electric and acoustic, I needed to add Eric Clapton and Neil Young to the list. When our musicians tag their music for search on MusicRevolution.com, they often describe which popular musician might have influenced the creation of the track. This becomes very useful when searching on MusicRevolution.com because music buyers often think about or describe the type of production music that they are looking for based on popular musicians.

Questlove, Jimmy Fallon’s music director for many years, has acended to icon-status due to a long collaborative history with artists like Jay-Z, The Roots, Christian McBride and D’Angelo. The moment Fallon debuted as Johnny Carson’s…er, sorry…Jay Leno’s replacement the world had its new Doc Severinsen.

Personally, my favorite part of Questlove’s Wikipedia page is

“Thompson [Questlove’s birth name is Ahmir Khalib Thompson] and childhood friend, Jay Lonick, were known for improvisational call-and-respond percussion battles with plastic buckets, crates, and shopping carts. This style translated into Thompson’s usual drumset arrangement, with most drums and cymbals positioned at waist level, emulating his original street setups.”

In this awesome Guitar Center commercial you get to see Questlove and his unusual drum set up in an intimate setting. The tagline is so awesome (cue audience: “How awesome is it?”)..it could even make Buddy Rich smile. Enjoy.
