Music Direction

Live music…

Live Experiences

Both arranging and directing music, and engineering playback is a skill I have been fortunate enough to study formally (through a music undergraduate degree and a master’s degree in composition), and further hone through years of experience and countless bands, touring internationally.

As a music director, my philosophy is that audiences do not just want to come and hear an artist play their songs. I see my role as working with the artist and band to construct a cohesive, memorable and unique event that is greater than the sum of its parts - not just recreating recorded material without any variation.

The process of organising a group of musicians, their parts, arranging and rehearsing, is a road I've walked many times. This includes working software and playback rigs for backing tracks and clicks, and working with individual sections such as string quartets and brass sections.

I am adept at using Ableton to configure live performances, as well as utilising Logic and samples for SPDs.
