LUCAS FOURNIER

Music Producer for Indie Folk/Pop Artists

Hey, lovely to meet ya :)

I’ll save you any 3rd person self-aggrandizing nonsense and take a guess that if you’re here, you probably saw one of my videos on Youtube and you’re interested in working together.

You might already have an idea of what I do, but here’s a quick summary: my name is Lucas Fournier and I’m a music producer for talented, ambitious indie artists.

Through over 5 years producing my own music, I’ve uncovered something of a signature sound - the indie folk leanings of Bon Iver and Novo Amor with a trickle of the otherworldliness of Radiohead, Beach House, and Perfume Genius.

There’s nothing I love more than helping other artists and producers uncover their own signature sound.

Whether you write “singer-songwriter” songs and are struggling to bring them to life with more fleshed-out arrangements, you’re switching genres to something more acoustic-y, or you just want more live instrumentation on your songs, if you make music that sounds like any of the artists I mentioned above, we might have a blast working together.

I offer remote music production and arrangement services for artists all around the world in the indie folk/pop/rock genres.

Continue reading below for a breakdown of how the process works!

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Call

My process is extremely collaborative, and before starting on any project, I need to get to know you as an artist and as a person. Together we’ll discuss your musical influences and your vision for the song(s) you want to work on together to develop a plan.

Step 2: Sending files

Because my service is remote, you’ll be recording your vocals (and maybe other instruments, if desired) either at home or in a studio near you. To get started, typically all I need is a demo recorded to a click with one instrument and a scratch vocal, but if you have a more fully-produced demo, I’m happy to work with that too.

Step 3: Production

With everything we discussed in mind, I dive into your project and create an arrangement. During this process I’ll be checking in frequently for feedback to make sure we’re on the right track.

Step 4: Revision

The revision stage is incredibly crucial in all remote projects. I offer unlimited revisions at no extra cost. After all, if you don’t absolutely love what I send you, then I haven’t done my job, have I? Written revision notes are great, but I also love doing live revision calls to work through smaller changes. I also don’t believe in gatekeeping and am happy to take you on a tour of my DAW session to give away my secrets :)

Step 5: Mixing & Mastering

I’m lucky enough to be friends with some incredible mixing & mastering engineers, and I always recommend outsourcing this step to get an extra set of ears on the project. I’ll send off your project to the engineer(s) and be available to help give revision notes throughout the process. If you already work with engineers, I’m more than happy to bring them in on the project!

“Working with Lucas was an absolute privilege. He embodies everything you could hope for in a music producer – expertise, collaboration, communication, talent, and creativity. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of our project and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking a truly exceptional music producer.”

Peter N. Knight

“There isn't enough space to truly review how incredible Lucas is. As a multi-instrumentalist, he's an incredible asset to get your simple iPhone raw demo of an idea to a masterpiece. I spent the last two years looking to find a producer/arranger who could take my folk songs and arrange them with ambience and bring them to life. (…) Lucas was the missing link to bringing my songs to life in a direction I never even anticipated.”

Ryan Cohen

“The constant theme in his work is his ability to get at the heart of an idea, and push it past his old limits to find something exciting and new. Every time I work with him there is some fresh surprise that inspires me to do better in my own work. I can't think of what more you could want from a producer.”

Harley Eblen

“I had the pleasure of working with Lucas on Sarah-Michelle Petit’s Storylines EP and I can’t say enough things about the experience (go listen to it and you’ll understand why). Lucas is a fantastic producer with a great sensibility for the artists vision and what the song needs.”
