performance-driven arranging for singer-songwriters in pop and hip-hop;

I build performance-driven arrangement systems for singer-songwriters. Using modular control logic inside Max, a single vocal or instrument take can drive chord stacks, counterlines, rhythmic triggers, and section lifts in real time—so writers stay in the emotional take while the production scaffolding happens around them. Sessions can be printed as stems or MIDI for fast iteration.

about;

My work sits at the intersection of production and engineering: capturing strong performances while translating them into structured arrangements quickly. I design Max-based “arrangement engines” that listen to oscillators, energy, and articulation and convert that information into musical decisions—when harmonies bloom, when drums enter, when density lifts for a chorus, and when space opens for a verse. This approach reduces grid-first friction and keeps sessions moving: writers perform, and the system builds supporting parts that remain musically consistent with the take. The result is a repeatable workflow for modern pop and hip-hop lanes, with song structure and feel prioritized first. Output can be recorded live or printed offline for precision and recall. If you have a strong song and want production that responds to the performance, this system is built for that.

“what I provide”;

  • Performance-driven arranging: chords, pads, counterlines, and transitions generated from a take

  • Real-time structure control: verse/chorus lift, drops, and density changes without grid editing

  • Studio-ready delivery: printed stems/MIDI for editing, comping, and final production

  • Fast iteration: capture more usable takes per session and reduce revision cycles
