Composer If you're a filmmaker, I would love to write the soundtrack for your film. I'm comfortable writing and performing original music in a wide range of styles - classical, jazz, new age, R&B, soul, funk, Latin, gypsy, Celtic/Irish, bluegrass, Cajun, country... you name it. If you're a musician, make your track stand out from the pack - add lush strings, brass, woodwinds, and other instrumental texture to your album. Arrangement is a craft - you don't just "jam out" a string section in the studio and get good results. You need someone who knows what they're doing to get a finely-crafted sound. You bring the demo or the track you're working on, tell me what you want, and I take care of the rest - writing parts, performing them, hiring top-notch players as needed, conducting and engineering the recording sessions, etc.
I studied harmony, counterpoint, composition, and orchestration in college and I've been writing imaginative arrangements for bands and solo artists for a
decade. I've written three rock operas and scored several short films and videos. I have a network of skilled sessions musicians and have a personal studio
at which I can record live musicians or create parts with high-quality MIDI instruments.
