Chapter 249 - 246: Working As A Music Producer I (2/2)

Edward took the contract. Then, he stood up from his seat and offered Harry his hand for a handshake. ”I know I said this earlier, but now, I'm saying this officially. Welcome to Columbia Recording Company.”

Harry also rose and took Edward's hand with both his hands to shake. ”Thank you again, Mr. Easton.”

Edward nodded and smiled.

Charlton seeing that they were done also got up from his seat. ”Alright, so I think we can start working on the song now. Mr. Dacre, do follow me to the studio. I will introduce you to the band members.”

”Please milord, just call me Harry.”

”Then you can just call me Producer Daniel while in the vicinity. I am also an employee here.” Charlton said in a friendly manner.

Harry turned red faced. Charlton, although younger than him by a decade, was a Lord who will become the next grand duke of Suffox. He was so dignified yet very down to earth. He could not help but admire him more and be honored to be working with him.

Charlton did not mind Harry's reaction and just face Edward to say, ”We'll go ahead.”

”Alright. Good luck!”

When they arrived in the studio, Charlton introduced Harry to the band members. Then he handed Jerome to play the original sheet music on the piano.

Afterwards, he handed another one which he drafted with the improvements. When Jerome started playing it, everyone was stounded by the improvement. It was just minor, but the effect made the music standout more.

”I hope you don't mind some of the alterations. Also, this is not final. I want the band to try and improve it by using other instruments in combination to the piano for better effect.” He explained. Really, this was the first time he's working with someone other than Serena and they always worked this way, so he thought that that's how things worked.

Everyone was shocked. The band members knew that Charlton did it that way with Serena, but Serena was a lady of the same standing as him. How could he be so nice and humble in the face of a mere commoner as to improve his song and ask for his opinion?

Harry felt humbled and flattered that his opinion was being taken into account. Not trusting his voice, he could only nod.

”Please don't be shy to speak your mind and comment. As the composer of this song, you must also tell me if we're able to deliver the message you want to put across.”

”Yes, yes, of course, Producer Daniel.” Harry replied.

And thus, they continued working that way and at the end of the day, Charlton was quite satisfied with their output.
