I have the classic computer/keyboards “bedroom” set-up, but there’s enough there to give a great near-studio demo quality for tracks or voice clips in an informal, relaxed setting.

The whole caboodle is recorded on a fast computer running
Sonar 6 Production Edition & Colossus, boasting 32Gb of real instrument samples !

Of course, part of this little studio’s charm is the fact you get a pianist “free” with it and there are few overheads making it very cost-effective for the client.

Creativity comes very reasonably too :). I have now arranged 4 shows for leaders in educational publishing Starshine Music. There are demos of many tracks on their site. I also enjoy eclectic choir arrangements !

I have added also piano parts to many tunes over the years (including The Fly by Robert Longden which was pulled just before reaching the West End, and When Harry Met Barry which hopefully won’t be !). Together with all this varied experience, where can you go wrong ?!
