WELCOME TO A WORLD OF MUSIC
Arrangements, Compositions & Transcriptions
Beautiful music has the rare ability to dive into our souls, and it’s this notion that inspires me to create arrangements, compositions and tracks beyond compare. Having been a gigging musician for years now, I feel I know what musicians need to see on the page, and have set my sights on producing the most accurate transcriptions, the easiest to read arrangements, and the best sounding tracks currently available. All for a price that can suit everyone's budget.
WHAT I DO
Anything's possible...
ORCHESTRAL ARRANGEMENTS
Having started in youth orchestras as a percussionist (many moons ago), I have a love, and a deep understanding of orchestral works. I've arranged many works for everything from full orchestra for a gigantic project in Dubai, to concert bands such as The Royal Artillery Band, to strings for pop outfits.
BIG BAND, JAZZ & FUNK
As a pianist, I've have worked with some of the best the UK has to offer, and even had the pleasure of work with Louie Bellson the legendary big band drummer. I've arranged countless classics from full big band to solo pieces and everything in between. Tracks from Sinatra and Bublé, to arrangements of Movie themes for funk orchestra. My copying has been also used by the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
THEATRE ARRANGEMENTS
I've recently been doing arrangements for theatre tours more and more, and in the last year have produced over ten shows for various sized ensembles. Full live instrument recordings were also created to allow the shows to function without certain instruments where the budget doesn't allow. The show must go on, even if the audience numbers aren't up to scratch. Added percussion, strings, 2nd guitar, synths and backing vocals via click track, add to the enjoyment of the music, keeping it as true to the originals (or bespoke arrangments, of course) as possible.
POP ARRANGEMENTS
Having played with many different outfits during my years as a pianist, I've had the pleasure of creating arrangements for some of the world's top function bands, including works for large cruise companies. Producing clear and accurate arrangements, giving that last-minute dep musician the perfect opportunity to nail the gig without the need for rehearsals.
HOW IT WORKS
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT
You can send me links to tracks required, or inspiration for something original. What line-up you require, and the dead-line.
PRICING
Price is based on complexity, length, instrumentation and whether audio is required. The number of tunes required is also taken into consideration.
CREATION
Once agreed on a price and deadline, the process kicks into gear. The very best arrangements are created with Sibelius. If tracks are required, this can be organised for live musician recordings, or by using some of the best virtual instruments available on the planet, the best plug-ins, and a keen ear. All done within the latest version of Cubase. A printing service is also available if required.
THE FINAL PRODUCT
You will receive PDFs of arrangements, printed copies if requested, fully mixed and mastered tracks, and partial mixes for click tracks. All within the allotted time, to the highest standard.
SHOWCASE
THEATRE AND CRUISE DEMO
Above is a short demonstration of what can be produced on a small budget. Arranged for 9-piece band (with optional 2nd trumpet) with click track with additional percussion and strings. Here you can see some examples of my clear charts, and hear how these arrangements can sound with a live band.
