Cloud Seeding is a music singles project by Brooklyn-based guitarist Kevin Serra. The project was conceived as a space for collaboration to showcase vocalists he admires.
On the third single, Serra worked with Swiss singer Nadine Carina who now resides in Liverpool, England where she attended Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA), a school founded by Paul McCartney. The two collaborated online and created the track "The Light," which was mixed and mastered by Mathieu Bedwani at his Prescot Street Studios in Liverpool. The cover art was hand drawn by Cambridge, England based illustrator Shaun Lynch. Simon Raymonde (of Cocteau Twins) premiered Cloud Seeding's "The Light" on his UK radio show, Amazing Radio, on July 30th.
On the second single, "Newer Testament" Serra worked with Greg Hatem of Heart of Hearts whose debut album, My Society, will be released on Bleek Records September 25th, 2012.
For the first single, Serra worked with Boston-based singer Marissa Nadler while she was briefly living in Brooklyn just a few blocks away. The "Ink Jar" single was recorded and mixed in Green Point at Cedar Apffel's (Natureboy/Masterface) studio.
Serra is currently working with other vocalists and collaborating on more tracks.

"The song begins with hard strummed bass, atmospheric guitar, and the lithely beautiful vocals of Carina. Her ethereal voice hangs in the air, trailing over the top of the instrumentation. It's a wonderful pairing." - Their Bated Breath
"Carina's ethereal voice washes over the backdrop of gentle guitar riffs and a drumbeat which holds back just enough. Layered vocals create dreamy Warpaint-style harmonies and it's a beautiful result. It's a shame that these two don't work together all the time but if Kevin Serra has more great vocalists and producers like these up his sleeve then I can't wait to hear what's next." - The Front LIne
"A heady piece of indie rock that conjoins dream pop influences and strikes a fine balance between moodiness and bliss. Carina's delicate, airy vocals will leave you intoxicated in a tide pool of a strumming bass line and atmospheric guitar riffs. The duo work seamlessly together, with Carina's voice floating above Serra's instrumentation, forming a wonderful musical marriage." - Music For The Masses
"What Mr. Serra does best is create acoustic milieus and fills them with vocals which personify particular moods. The results are something sounding at once painstakingly effortless and endearingly haunted; commingling the darkness of the devil with the ethereal light of an angel's dulcet dreams. His is a sound not so much in the middle of things as it is an exploration into the outer nuances of human feeling. It is finding a comforting refuge within our mundane emotional states and lingering there until we learn to see and appreciate their value. The latest collaborative single, is the mere crystallization of Mr. Serra's adeptness at teasing out the essence, and beauty, of our many moods and perfecting them into gorgeous song.. Cloud Seeding hits us right in our third eye. It is an meditation of the human spirit and it is of sound." - Mitten Mouth Music
"Much like the single with (Marissa) Nadler, "The Light," is equally atmospheric but with an earthier, almost twangy kind of feel. I was struck by the track's haunting moodiness." - The Joy of Violent Movement
