I will arrange your song using rare vintage instruments


Level 2
About this gig
I'm a music producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience creating unique, emotionally resonant tracks across a wide range of styles. I specialize in unusual vintage instruments from Mellotron and celesta to harmoniums and toy pianos but I also use all the essentials: piano, guitar, bass, drums, strings, and more.
Whether you're an artist, filmmaker, or songwriter, I can take a simple vocal/piano or vocal/guitar demo and transform it into a fully arranged track as minimal or as lush as you want.
️
I record with Neumann microphones through Neve and Focusrite preamps, ensuring warmth, depth, and professional quality recordings.
The prices that I have listed are approximate so I recommend reaching out first so we can talk through your vision.

FAQ
What kind of recordings should I send you to start?
Ideally, a simple recording of vocals with piano or guitar—even a rough phone demo works if the timing is clear. I can build the arrangement around it.
What genres do you work in?
I’ve worked across many styles, including indie, folk, cinematic, experimental, pop, chanson, ambient and even a little world music. If you're unsure whether your project fits, just ask—I'm flexible.
What’s your turnaround time?
It depends on how busy I am, but most full arrangements take 3-4 days. If you have a deadline, let me know up front and I’ll see what’s possible.
How does this usually work?
You send me a demo and clear intentions on what you are looking for. I then record the arrangements and go back and fourth with you until we get it right. If the original demo is really great/particularly charming then we can use it as it is, and if it needs some work I can help get to improve it.
Can I give feedback or ask for revisions?
Absolutely. It is your song and I want it to remain yours. I'll make suggestions and bounce off of your ideas.
Do you also mix and master tracks?
Yes, I can mix your track with care and character. I have a lot of experience as a mixing engineer. I prefer not to do mastering because I find it very useful to have another set of ears on my work at the end, but if budget doesn't permit an external mastering engineer then I can do it.
How do I get started?
Send me a message and we can discuss what it is that you are looking for. I always respond within the day.
