I've been offering production work to Ghosts of Fortune since 2013, for both studio productions and use in live performances. They provide me with a brief, usually with a Logic project they have started (vocals and live guitar recordings) and I fill in the gaps with drums, bass, percussion, FX and go on to mix the track down with them.
