Currently, nobody.
Amanda Michelina is entirely me overdubbing myself.
People who aren't composers were confused, but NotePerformer is just a tool for rendering out good orchestral synth. I sang all the parts, and used octave displacement to turn my classical guitar into an electrified bass and sitar.
One take per track, minus a few inserts like the high note in Twist and Shout.
The percussion is me drumming my desk and the objects on it.
The horn is my mouth trombone.
There's no autotune. Turns out I have absolute pitch.
The Beatles used A = 434hz. I largely used that without tuning it with an electronic tuner.
I seldom, if ever, use one nowadays.
My grandmother Ruth was a pianist and music teacher who was taught by George Martin. When he was a very young man, but still... they remained friends. Paul remarks that my piano bits sound a lot like his ones.
