Transcriptions

Arcellus Sykes playing the bass with Bright Red Paper.

Custom music transcription is available for all instruments and styles - I can provide you with high-quality, organized and easy-to-read notation for nearly any piece of music. I have professional experience in transcribing and arranging for many genres and settings; if there is something specific you need, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Below you will find samples of some of my custom work; samples of my most recent work are available on my blog, and I have a large collection of work in my transcription archive.
