Passion for Music Innovation, Reverence for Music Tradition, Acumen for Musical Emotion

I am a composer and arranger in Atlanta, GA. I have been composing for 20 years, winner of the Quincy Jones Award for jazz composition; I write and arrange for full orchestra, strings, Jazz big band, Jazz pops, and all manner of modern small groups, from rock, pop, blues, funk, hiphop, broadway/stage, R&B, bebop, post bop, hard bop, contemporary jazz, salsa, electronica, etc, etc, etc... so I am very eclectic but specialize in large ensemble writing.

AlpsMedia is my music and music technology production company and my business for doing really anything with music.

With AlpsMedia, I *produce CDs* for artists; I *record and mix* and master them at my studio; I *arrange and orchestrate* strings, orchestra, big band, chamber groups, etc for them; I *custom score* films and TV shows, network promos, advertising spots; I *compose original music*, as the composer or songwriter for all my music styles;

As a company and the people I hire, we also do *full album creative and technical producing*; full large ensemble recording; marketing and PR consulting; video production services; audio technical consulting; new media development

Very open at this point. I was toying with a dark teal and black and white, but that was just my first stop. Im very interested in your interpretation of my business

im not set on anything in particular, very open for ideas at this stage. However, the idea of reverence for tradition but passion for innovation in a modern and clean way, but still with warmth and integrity - cutting edge technology, mastery of traditional music, understanding and intonation with emotion and soul of music
Check out my website for my "Composer" brand. I built this brand myself and while its ok for me as a composer I really need a more corporate yet still hip look for AlpsMedia
