I’m a musician who specialises in orchestration, transcription, composition and arranging from the UK.
To date, I have worked on twelve feature films, primarily as an orchestrator but also as a composer of additional music. I work quickly and reliably producing professional scores and parts that are clear, neat and idiomatic for musicians in a time-critical studio setting. Sibelius is my go-to notation package (I’m very fast with it), but I can also work in Dorico, albeit at a slower pace.
I have a strong ear and can transcribe/dictate music accurately. This includes orchestral, instrumental and vocal music in a variety of genres.
I have a home studio in which I can produce convincing and professional orchestral/instrumental mock-ups, using libraries from the likes of VSL, Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, EastWest, ProjectSAM, 8dio and many more.
