Composer

Stand out from the pack - add lush REAL strings, brass, woodwinds, and other instrumental texture to your album. You bring the demo or the track you're working on, tell me what you want, and I take care of the rest.

I will write parts, hire top-notch players, and conduct recording sessions for all sorts of instruments in various styles - classical, jazz, new age, R&B, soul, funk, Latin, gypsy, you name it.

Synths and samples are fine for some things, but there's no substitute for the real deal. A dude playing string parts on a keyboard sounds like a dude playing string parts on the keyboard.

If you want the real deal, you need real instruments, real players, and well-crafted parts. That's what I do. I studied harmony, counterpoint, composition, and orchestration in college and I've been writing imaginative arrangements for bands and solo artists for 6 years now. I have a network of skilled sessions musicians and - depending upon the session - access to very inexpensive quality studio time.
