Creative Consultation and music services.
Production, mixing, mastering, arrangement, and songwriting for artists and records. Creative consultation for companies and organizations who want sharp creative thinking applied to what they're building, regardless of what sector they're in.
Start a conversationCreative Consultation
For companies, organizations, and creative projects in any sector. You don't have to be in music to need someone who thinks this way.
Sometimes what's needed is someone outside the project who can see it clearly, ask the questions nobody inside is asking, and bring the ideas that haven't come up yet. Getting unstuck is rarely about working harder. It's about getting the right perspective in the room. And knowing a good idea from a bad one, then getting everyone moving in the same direction, is its own skill.
Most organizations have smart people and good intentions. What they're often missing is someone with enough distance from the work to see it clearly, and enough creative range to know what to do about it. A lot of creative projects fail not because of effort or budget but because no one in the room was willing to say "this isn't working" early enough, or knew what working would actually look like.
If your creative output is boring you, it's probably boring your audience too. That's fixable, and sooner is better than later.
Music & Production
For artists and records that deserve more than competent execution. The difference between a good record and a great one is usually the thinking behind it, not just the work.
Song & Record Production
A great song can get lost in a bad production, and a great production can't save a song that isn't ready. Those are different problems, and they need someone who can hear the difference and knows what to do about it, at every stage from early development through to a finished release. I work with artists to shape the sound, guide key decisions, and bring the thing to life. And yes, I also fix broken shit. If a production exists but isn't serving the song, I can get in there, rework it, and get it where it needs to go.
Mixing
A good mix is the difference between a record that sounds like a demo and one that sounds like it belongs. I use high-end analogue and digital hardware in a hybrid workflow because the tools matter, and your record deserves to be treated like it does. The focus is depth, balance, and emotion. You should hear your song and feel like it finally sounds the way you always imagined it.
Mastering
Mastering is where a good mix either holds together or falls apart. Done well, it's the thing that makes your record sound finished, consistent, and ready for the world. I use a carefully selected chain of analogue and digital tools: Chandler, SSL, Neve, Avalon, Manley, Pendulum, ATC, ProAc, and more. The goal is a master that translates well across every format and platform, holds together at any loudness level, and makes the mix sound more like itself. Not loving what you have? Get in touch and we'll get it there.
Songwriting & Co-Writing
Sometimes the song isn't there yet, and that's the real problem. No production fixes a weak song. I work with artists to find, shape, and strengthen the material, whether that means co-writing from scratch or helping develop something that's close but not landing. I also write for projects where a strong song is the thing they need but don't have.
String & Orchestral Arrangement
Strings done well can make a record feel enormous. Strings done badly can ruin one. If you're hearing something orchestral in your head and need someone to actually write it, I specialize in strings and work across other orchestral instruments too. If you need players, I can connect you with the right people and coordinate the session.
Scoring & Composition
Music that doesn't fit the project is worse than no music at all. If you're working on film, a podcast, branded content, a game, or anything else that needs original music, it should feel like it was made for that specific thing, because it was. If you have a brief, a cut, or just a feeling, that's enough to start.
Location Recording & Ambisonic Audio
Some records need a room that isn't a studio. The sound of a real space, a church, a barn, somewhere with actual character, is something you can't fake in a plugin. If you've been talking about making a record somewhere interesting, this is how you actually do it. Also ambisonic and spatial audio capture for documentary, installation, gallery, and experimental work.
Why it works better this way
Most people you hire to work on music do one thing. That's fine for a specific task, but it means nobody is thinking about the whole project. When arrangement decisions get made without thinking about the mix, or mixing decisions get made without thinking about the master, things get lost. Having someone who can hold the whole picture tends to produce a better result.
Creative work that reaches beyond the studio, into strategy, public audiences, or stakeholders, needs someone who can think in both directions at once. Most music people can't do that. Most communications people don't think creatively enough. If your project sits between those two things, that's exactly the gap this fills.
Range that actually matters
Songwriting through to mastering, with arrangement and composition in between. That range means fewer handoffs, better coherence, and someone who understands your project end to end.
Rescue and rebuild
Got something that almost works? I'm good at finding what a production needs and getting it there, whether that means a small fix or starting the mix over from scratch.
Cross-sector thinking
When a creative project touches strategy, public audiences, or stakeholders, the people who understand music and the people who understand communications rarely overlap. This does.
Let's talk about what you're making.
