What can we do for you?
-
Compose music for Film, TV, Radio, Games, Theatre, West-End and your own unique individual projects.
-
Recording you, the artist/s in my studio. Everything from rehearsals, to production, to the final mix.
-
Making orchestral arrangements for you, which I can record when required.
-
Make sheetmusic for you using Sibelius Ultimate and other software. Particularly useful for singers who want a classical/any style song in a different key. Currently I'm doing exactly that, and also working on a medley of Beethoven Orchestral works, which I'm making into a choir and piano score.
-
Orchestral Reductions. As mentioned above, this means taking the sheet music for a whole orchestra of sometimes 80 people, and making it playable by just a single pianist, organist etc..
-
Making backing tracks and beats.
-
Melodyne and autotune vocals in our perfectly acoustically balanced rooms.
-
Piano, Violin, Theory, Composition and Music Production/technology tuition.
Achieving acoustic perfection
Our two-room recording studio incorporates a Live Room where musicians perform and a Control Room where recording hardware, pianos, keyboards and producers are stationed. For accurate recording quality, the Live Room and the Control Room are purpose built, acoustically designed and fully isolated from the outside world. This means you know your mix will sound great both in the recording studio and when your music is played on other systems.

Oak tongue and groove flooring to finish.
