NI Razor | Arcanum - Entering The Faery Realm

I currently reside in Scotland, where I completed my PhD in music at The University of Edinburgh.

Alongside my career as an educator, I have been self-employed variously as composer, conductor, musical director and record producer for a range of international clients, including The University of Edinburgh and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, EMI Music, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Caroline O'Connor, Sir Robert Helpmann, Sir Howard Morrison. My work has featured in performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Royal Albert Hall and Garrick Theatre (London), Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Hamer Hall (Australia), the Australian Embassy (New York), Sala Accademica di Santa Cecilia (Rome) and Edinburgh University.

I have 27 IMDb credits as orchestrator, associate composer and musician for feature films, television documentaries, mini series, and over 30 Discogs alnum recording credits.  I have been a frequent conductor of studio orchestras, including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for the feature film Frauds. Many of the media to which I have contributed have themselves achieved critical and popular acclaim, including LA International Film Festival, Indie Films, BAFTA Award (The Making of Longbird), Best Film Score (Crush), an Oscar (The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert), Triple Platinum record sales (Come In Spinner - ABC) and an Australian Aria Award nomination (Cash Landing – EMI Music).

Stars in films I have orchestrated include Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Phil Collins, Josephine Byrnes, Lee Majors, Jack Scalia, Bob Peck, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp. I worked with Torvill & Dean as arranger and pianist for their album Here We Stand. I have performed extensively as keyboardist, including over 400 performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber's show Cats (Really Useful Theatre Company) and Phantom of the Opera (Cameron Mackintosh Limited), and as musical director for independent productions. 

My most recent commission was to arrange, conduct, mix and master the vocal and orcestral music for the Glenfiddich 21yo Whisky ad campaign, so far exceeding 1.7 million hits, viewable on my YouTube channel below.  My current commission is to compose a new 4 movement symphony for the Orchestra of the Canongait.

* Introduction
* More on my music background
* What makes me stand out, and More on my highly personal styles
* On comment exchanges

INTRODUCTION:
I'm an Awards-winning Composer & Music Producer with lots of depth and experience in several musical genres, but also for visual and music symbolism.
Recently, I'm focusing on Music for Licensing. Both individual work and producing other artists with the same aims.
I'm also offering my services for pro music productions for media, musicians and singers.

For projects, my music can be focused on the single emotions and effective cues, to greatly enhance moods, or more complex and closer communication to bring extra plot dimensions to the script and screenplay, on a highly professional intepretation & correlation level.

The thing I value the very most in music is the emotions it touches, both my own and for listeners.
It could be technically and theoretically advanced, but not always necessarily.

Some of my personal tracks here are very complex and not suitable as cues, more for showcasing my depth, composing level & musical versatility.

Recently, I've focused a lot on improved mixing & mastering skills quite a bit, and I also consider re-mastering most of my existing tracks. 
I use professional plugins & software, but one can always learn more.

Thanks a ton so far, and stay tuned for new versions & new tracks, reaching the next level!


MORE ON MY MUSIC BACKGROUND:
With 7 years of full-time post-college music education, and more than 15 years of teaching music subjects, I've begun to focus a lot more on my own music again in recent years.
Still improving my production skills towards Music Production, but I now feel ready to start marketing myself and my services, whether it's for moving image and other  medias, freelance musician for track projects, or editing and mixing your own tracks.

So let me know if you think you got some task for me to work on. Either as a hired talent, or for mutually fulfilling self-promotions of pro quality.


ON WHAT MAKES ME STAND OUT:
I think the attention to details is of highest importance, be it details in phrasing, melodies, chord changes, sound and mixing etc.
The diverse and extensive music background and close studies of film & game genres all certainly help for these things. But there's more:

Another aspect is that I often design my own music for deeper analyze challenges, for anybody who gives it a try.
Therefore, my most personal tracks are heavy on both traditional music symbolism, but some also including sublime or hidden symbolism. 
It's a highly personal way to add depth, multi-layered concepts, mystery and challenges while listening/analyzing.
In specific tracks, I avoid spelling out any sublime references, because I'd rather invite you to have all kinds of personal & individual thoughts on my creations.

Before I picked up composing again, I spend most of my spare time with personal research on numerous subjects, from different perspectives & media for a wider picture.
This too helps me in my highly personal composing style - Metaphors, allegories, and to reference well-known and less known knowledge & media alike.


ON EXCHANGING TRACK COMMENTS: 

For OLD FRIENDS: 
Give me a holler if you wish for some new in-depth feedback of your own material. (I'd wish that you will take a close listen to another track of mine in return, giving me your honest thoughts too.)

for ANY LISTENER: 
Put a REAL listening comment on my track, and I'll prioritize giving a real comment back on yours. 
If I feel you're the kind that welcome critical ears mentions with close attention listening, then I'm usually game for offering some in-depth feedback.
Personally, I welcome all kinds of nitpicking and remarks on my own tracks, but I'm aware that not everybody appreciate that on  theirs,

Don't forget to visit my website for blog posts and more info. Thanks!

... a piece of music is a rare thing of beauty ... what we experience while listening is personal ... what we hear ... or when we play music ... is in the moment ... and that's part of the magic ... the beauty of music ... a piece of music, for me, is like a river, it just is ... thank you for listening ... and for your music!
