I am freelance musician providing bespoke and personal services to a variety of clients from backgrounds, both professional and non-professional. I provide a number of different services, at reasonable prices under the same roof.

Of course there are many people out there providing the services that I do - that's true, but very few can provide a variety of services to deliver the same project, while at the same time, providing a friendly, personal service.

ORCHESTRATION & ARRANGING

Pieces of music can be orchestrated from sheet music that is already orchestrated for an ensemble or it can come from something like a simple lead sheet or piano accompaniment. I have experience in orchestrating for small and large ensembles. My training and previous work in theatre and film means that I am used to writing for specially tailored ensembles and for writing across many different instrument types.

COMPOSING

Do you have a play that you need music for? Or perhaps a video that needs a soundtrack? Do you want a specially composed piece of music for a corporate function or a special occasion? Your organisation may have a visual identity, but does it have an aural one? I have experience composing for many different mediums from critically acclaimed plays, to musical theatre to films. I have learnt to work in various different genres but I like to specialise in acoustic instrumentation where my primary focus is on texture and the emotional impact of the music that I write. My music is accessible and suited to a wide variety of applications.

NOTATION

Do you have hand written sheet music which needs to be notated? Do you have old and tatty printed sheet music which you would like to be reprinted? Would you like music written in a different key for your instrument or your voice? If you have written your own sheet music or instrument parts and would like them checked for common errors, respaced and brought up to publishing standards, I can do this for you as well.

VIRTUAL ORCHESTRA & TRACK WORK

I have the technology and expertise to create highly realistic instrumental recordings. These have a variety of applications such as backing tracks, realisations of your own compositions (or those of others), soundtracks for TV or film or click tracks to be used alongside live musicians, virtual sessions and so on.

SCORE PREPARATION & BINDING

I can produce professional standard printed sheet music and bound instrument parts (that have been prepared with the instrumentalist in mind - you'd be surprised how many get this wrong!). A variety of options are available for the materials used such as weighted paper, lightweight card and laid paper in a variety of colours, sizes and finishes. Scores and parts can be bound using comb binding or placed in ring binders for you. If you have a particular look or feel, then I can provide a quote for more bespoke production.
