FAQ
How will the price vary?
The price will vary based on factors such as instrumentation, the nature of the composition and deadline constraints. For example, a solo piano or thin instrumentation will be at the lower end of the cost spectrum compared to a heavy-layered track or orchestral work. I will always voice my creative ideas in the agreement process with the lead director to achieve as close a sound to what they desire for the project.
Can you provide a spotting session?
Yes, with any screen project I can go through the footage and decide with the project leader where there should/shouldn't be music. This will then be followed up with creating and signing the commission agreement before composing can begin.
