Music Producer Joel J. Richard’s passion for music sparked at age twelve, with the purchase of a 4-track recorder and an electric guitar. Coming of age, while touring with bands in the New York hard-rock scene, Joel lists a diversified range of creative influences (from Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd; Tool to Tom Waits; Portishead to Peter Gabriel). Joel’s unorthodox background in music would go on to shape his sound—fusing time-honored musicality with moving atmospheric experimentation. With equal measure, his versatile talent serves raw and unbridled industrial rock-influenced compositions, and beautifully intimate acoustic ensemble scores.
