Composing new music for large or small ensembles
I create original music for individuals, ensembles, and media. My skills in melody, harmony, form, and orchestration make my music memorable, engaging, and well suited for dramatic and concert projects.
Orchestrating and voicing existing music
I take your music and create colors and textures with instruments that best suits the music's purpose.
Arranging, modifying, and adapting existing music
I carefully and creatively take existing music and change it to something new while keeping the musical integrity of the original work.
Entering music into a MIDI format via MIDI programming
I make sure the music from a hand-written score is in a perfect MIDI format so you can use them for editing and playback in notation software.
Creating midi soundtracks that sound like acoustic instruments
I make MIDI playback sound authentic, idiomatic, and realistic. I do this by carefully inserting “breaths,” articulations, better phrasing, and dynamics. I go so far as creating “human” qualities by varying attacks of different instruments, and creating space and distance for various instruments to create an element of spaciousness and volume as you would find in real performances. These services are perfect for those projects requiring a human and organic sound when there is not a budget to hire professional musicians to record.
Creating full scores from a mockup
I take your short score or mock-up and prepare a full score from single instrument to full orchestra. Scores are prepared in either Coda Finale 2005 or Sibelius 2003.
