Dave Flay musical arrangements / music preparation

Arranging
If it's arranging/orchestration/transcription you require, I can help you. My charts are used all over the world, on cruiseships, in clubs, function rooms etc., but don't necessarily cost the earth. All arrangements are written specially for you. Interested? If so, please continue to Arranging.

Working Cruise-ships for the first time?

      It's a problem many acts are encountering when taking work on cruise-ships for the first time. Cruise work generally doesn't allow the use of backing-tracks/ playback. Suddenly you're faced with having to have charts written for your whole act ! You usually only have your first cruise to impress.
      It makes sense, then, to have your charts written professionally. You get very little rehearsal time so they have to work first time. It could be that you can't perform you BIG numbers because the "arranger" you used wrote unplayable charts.
      I've written whole acts for many artists doing their first cruises. They always return with glowing reports from the bands on how well my charts worked!
      Let me help you. Contact me and I'll give you a really competitive quote. I also thrive on tight deadlines!!!        see also Arranging or Cruiseship Bandcharts

Copying/ Music Preparation
With experience of musical preparation for shows, tours, TV, and radio, I have been a musical copyist for almost 35 years. I use Finale / Sibelius now, but can still copy by hand if required (although a hand-written finish can be achieved by computer!). Please continue to Copying.

Backing / Click Tracks
Whether it's a click track you need to fill out the performance of your musical arrangements or a full-blown backing track, I can help. I do not keep a catalogue of tracks as each one is recorded specially for you Please continue to Backing Tracks .

CD Album Production
Selling your own CD on a gig/show can work out very lucrative. I can definitely help here! Using backing tracks recorded here in my studio, I can accommodate solo artistes ( singers, instrumentalists) on site and produce a CD album for you. Artwork, mastering and CD duplication are further services that I can offer. Please continue to CD Production for further information.

Of interest to artists/bandleaders etc.
Are you still handing out faded, beer-stained charts to your musicians? Do the bands you work with still have to transpose any tunes by sight?
I can help here, for very reasonable rates I can make your charts clear and easy to read. Your band calls will be shorter and your show will sound better with all musicians having a fighting chance of getting the music right with the minimum of rehearsal. For further information please continue to Copying.
