ARRANGING
Scores, parts, orchestral mock ups, covers....
Atholl can do custom arrangements of material if you need orchestral mock ups, scores and parts, cover versions or backing tracks.
“Atholl is a generous collaborator, who has contributed so much to our successful projects, such as 2019’s Promised Land show for Durham International Brass Festival.In 2020 we released our first podcast series, also named Promised Land, Atholl produced many pieces of music for that series - all of which responded beautifully to their brief and were used as essential parts of the successful show. His music supported and enhanced the interviews, taking the listener on a journey through the interviewees’ stories.In 2021/22 Mr Wilson’s developed a new stage show called Leftism. Performing the whole of Leftfield’s debut album live with an enlarged ensemble including guest vocals, scratch DJ and orchestral percussion section. Atholl transcribed and arranged 4 of the 12 tracks in the show. His work insightfully adapted the music to our unusual ensemble and once again he responded excellently to the brief.Atholl works hard and is committed to his creative development as an artist. He keeps moving forwards, responding both to new opportunities and challenges with equally high commitment.”

“At my wedding, I wanted to surprise Natalie with a performance of one of her favourite songs, All of Me, by John Legend. Knowing that the instantly recognisable piano introduction to that track would give the game away immediately, I asked to work with Atholl to create a version with voice and tenor sax.Working with Atholl, I found him generous, empathic and responsive to a very personal brief. Atholl worked on the arrangement, and we honed it in rehearsals with a great sense of partnership. Having known Atholl as a performer for many years, it was a privilege to experience working with him in this way.The final result was an incredible moment in our wedding celebrations, which Natalie and I will never forget.”
