Highly skilled composer, arranger, orchestrater and pianist. I have written/arranged music for artists, tours, theatre, radio/TV and film. With a long career in performance, I know what works and what sounds great! I specialise in taking your music to the next level with full arrangements or orchestrations, click/backing track production and more!
Hi, I’m Rich! I’m a composer/orchestrator with a diverse background in the industry. As a performer and MD/conductor, I’ve worked in professional theatre, cruise ships, national tours and played arenas! This experience positions me perfectly to create orchestrations which not only sound incredible, but work in the setting you need them in. Whether it be for full symphony orchestra, small combo band, string quartet or theatre band - I understand what works and deliver beautiful sounding, effective arrangements.
I have provided orchestrations for notable artists and companies, and no project is too big or too small. Whether it be a string arrangement for a pop song, or orchestrating the full score of a new musical - I will work collaboratively with you to ensure your project comes to life. I also produce professional backing tracks and click tracks to supplement my orchestrations with additional instruments if needed - something which is increasingly commonplace in the modern music industry, allowing for big sounds even when venue size/band size is restricted.
I’m a skilled composer and songwriter, having written music in multiple styles and genres for some big projects.
I’m friendly, professional and committed to producing the best work, on time and on budget. Please get in touch to discuss your project!

Both as a composer and a client, Richard is superb! His communications were articulate and timely and he was able to provide exactly the files I needed to work most efficiently. Can’t wait to hear more from him in the future. Thank you again, Richard!

It was a pleasure working with Richard, I had an amazing time playing his music, all the material he gave me helped me a lot to work very focused on what he needed and at the same time allowed me to improvise and make some musical suggestions for the music. I'm very happy with the work we've done.
