As well as a composer, I am an experienced arranger, providing well-written scores and parts for
orchestras, bigbands, string and wind groups, rhythm sections, voices and more. I have about 25 years of experience, mainly in jazz, pop, rock and classical. I can more or less adapt to any style - and I like a challenge. Arranging gigs can be of different levels of creativity - from practically co- or re-composing everything, to mainly instrumentation or transcription. I also do layout and engraving.
In addition, I can offer connection to musicians/orchestras and studios, and I can direct/conduct the rehearsals, performance or recording.
