Hi, my name is Shaul Bustan. I am a composer, conductor and Oud player.

And I can record my playing on the Oud for your project. I can play almost anything ;-)

Hi, my name is Shaul Bustan. I am a composer, conductor and Oud player.
Originally I am from the South of Israel, but Germany has been my home since 2011.

I will gladly write an original composition, an arrangement for orchestra, choir or ensemble for your project (film, album or song) and also record for you the music that I composed or arranged with real instruments or a combination.
For that I have a small, fully equipped home studio for small to medium productions. And also more than 20 years of experience, recording, mixing and mastering.

I can also record my playing on the Oud (the Arabic lute) for your project. You can write me sheet music (I can play almost anything ;-)), send me a recording, or just let me improvise over your song and give your creation a new twist.

Check my website for references and just send me a message with your request and we will continue from there.

Yours,

Shaul
