Orchestral arrangement

Starting from a melody, MIDI mock-up, score or recording, we create an orchestral arrangement shaped around the identity and dramatic movement of the music.

An arrangement written for the music

This is not about placing generic strings over an existing track. We reconsider musical space, harmonic support, countermelodies, transitions and climaxes so the orchestra becomes part of the work’s inner structure.

The ensemble may range from string quartet to full symphony orchestra, including woodwinds, brass, piano, harp, choir or hybrid elements when the project calls for them.

How the work develops

  • Analysis of the track, references and artistic intent
  • Choice of ensemble and role of each instrumental family
  • Writing, orchestration and production mock-up
  • Focused review and revision stages
  • Preparation for live or remote recording when required

Possible deliverables

  • Complete arrangement and production-ready mock-up
  • Clean, organised MIDI
  • Stems by section or instrument family
  • Full score and individual parts when required
  • Material prepared for mixing or a recording session

Best suited for

  • Video game scores
  • Film, short film and trailer music
  • Artists who need credible and expressive orchestral writing
