I want to create a short recording, where we put an ancient Babylonian poem to music (namely the first few lines of the Epic of Gilgamesh, in the original Sumerian language). I essentially want something very similar to this video on youtube: [login to view URL] but with somewhat different music (for copyright issues), so that I can use the recording in an audiobook that I am working on. So what I need is you to sing the lyrics and compose some simple music, mostly just chords, to accompany the lyrics, plus follow some directions so it will fit in the audiobook. You need to have access to a good recording equipment so you can produce a qualitative, noise-free audio file, preferably with separate voice and music tracks, so I can control the amount of reverb etc. Sounds interesting? Let me know!

Hello! I'm Lucio, musician, singer and music producer. I have listened to "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and I can record with guitar (Or with some synth instrument if you prefer) whatever you need, like melody, chords or both. As a singer, I am a tenor, I have no tuning problems and I can follow your instructions precisely. I have won a singer's contest within Freelancer (You can check it on my profile). If you want you can give me some indications of what you need for this project and I can prepare a sample to send you (Free of charge). So you can evaluate the quality of my work. I hope we can get in touch soon, Thanks! Lucio

That sounds interesting indeed, and it’s something I’ve produced in the past for a poetess who had a similar approach with her short film. Now, it can be time consuming if you have specific expectations (especially on vocal and phonetic) but most definitely a process that I enjoyed in the past. Let me know if you want to chat a little and explain a bit better what the poem is about and the overall intention. Cheers.
