Over
the years John has gained considerable experience
in writing and arranging in many musical styles
including Jazz, Pop and Classical. He’s
comfortable writing for both ‘live’
performers and using computers to produce music.
Today’s technology has had a massive impact
on music production. The commercial music budgets
are sadly getting smaller and the jobs for musicians
fewer. The successful media composer is now
expected to be ‘a master of all trades’
including expertise in recording and mastering
techniques. Technology can offer very professional
results for relatively little cost. John is
no stranger to this world. At the heart of his
studio runs a G5 Dual Processor Mac hard disk
recording system backed up by an array of electronic
instruments. With his considerable experience
of technology combined with his musical diversity
and compositional skills, he’s able to
offer a complete musical solution to many individuals
and companies in search of specially composed/arranged
music, whether for TV, Film or Radio.
Here’s some examples
of John’s commercial writing for film
and TV.
