Quality music

 

So what exactly is quality music?

 

In short: real intruments. They are still the best and most expressive, however recordings with live musicians need preparation and takes time. That is why Thomas likes to use a handful of live musicians in combination with the latest technology.

 

The result is live sounding music for a competetive price and in a reasonable amount of time. Of course there may also be times when only music software is required, for example to electronic music.

The network

 

Thomas has a very diverse background in music and musical composition, but in order to be able to produce any kind of music he also has a vast network of other musicians at hand.

Some of them are local but others are spread out through the globe. Thanks to the internet and new technology Thomas can work over distance with musicians who have their own recording gear.

 

For productions with a bigger budget there is also the possibility to record with East European orchestras such as Russian State Symphony Cinema Orchestra or Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra.

The Studio

 

The music software that are currently most used by Thomas are Logic, ProTools, Reason, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum bundle and Symphonic Choirs. For notated music Thomas uses Finale. The studio is mainly Macintosh based.

 

The studio has a collection of vintage synths and samplers such as Korg Trident, Sile Cruise, Juno 106, M3R, EMU ESI-32, Proteus 1, Ensoniq VFX and Yamaha CS1x. There is also a vintage tape recorder.

 

Other instruments include electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass and Jerry Jones electric sitar. There is also a collection of ethnic instrumenst like tin whistle, mandolin, domra, North African flutes and percussion instruments.

Sound recording/Sound design

 

Even though Thomas is mainly a composer of media music he also has experience in recording sound on film sets and sound design in post production. On set Thomas uses high quality condenser microphones and DAT recorders to record the sound.

 

In post production Logic or ProTools is used to edit the recorded sound, and work with sound design.
