Musicians and listeners should always have easy access to original songs and ideas, whether produced at home or professionally. The "mp3" generation now gives legitimate amateurs and hobbyists an opportunity to be heard and appreciated nearly all over the world, and at a reasonable cost to the "starving" artist.

Timing is everything...

Steele Hart began songwriting and producing music around the turn of the century while living in France. Compilations produced, or in progress, are:

Transient Ambition (12 Originals) Copyright ©2012 pending.
La Maison Bleue (9 Originals) Copyright ©2006
Chic in the Rain (4 Originals) Copyright ©2001

"Chic in the Rain" was produced in late July 2001 after a few years of songwriting while living in France. This amateur demo of 4 songs marked the beginning, and an inspiration to continue songwriting after moving to the coast of Carolina in 2001.

"La Maison Bleue" was produced between July and November 2006 on a just a little 4-track recorder representing over 6 years of songwriting. This compilation was posted exclusively on SoundClick.com in late December 2006 and available to the public on the internet for the first time.

"Transient Ambition" will be Steele Hart's second full length compilation with 12 original songs spanning over 5 years of songwriting and home studio producing. This compilation will also feature an amazing rendition of the Oasis song, "Half the World Away" with Olivier Hallereau on lead vocals, recorded June 2000 in Pornic, France adding several layers of the Steele Hart sound instruments between 2007 and 2011. This semi-concept album will be produced, mixed and mastered using Mixcraft 5 recording software and released in its entirety on Soundclick.com later this year. Several songs from this compilation have already been posted including "From Here", "Belle Mer", "Round 'n Round in Circles" and "A Perfect Fifth".

Steele Hart songs can be downloaded for a modest $0.25 or if you really like any of them, simply e-mail steelehart@hotmail.com and they will be sent to you absolutley FREE. Each compilation is also available on a professionally made Compact Disc (CD) with jewel case for $7.00. On the CD versions, there will be bonus tracks never been posted on the Internet.

There are so many, but here's a short list: David Gilmour, Francis Cabrel, Steve Howe, Jean-Jacques Goldman, America, Firefall, Paul McCartney, Rush, R.E.M., Billy Joel, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and John Mayer.
