Original compositions in any musical style can be written to order for all your corporate communication or advertising requirements either independently or in collaboration with your advertising agency. For instance, the addition of a well-written musical background brightens and enriches a web site and encourages the contact to stay on line. Through a twenty-year association with a group of musicians, technicians and composers, Abatrad Ltd. can offer an A to Z (or should that be an Do to Ti?) service.

Composition, arrangement, computer sequencing, programming and recording - right through to the final mix. We can produce music for a 30-second advertising spot, a jingle for the radio or the entire soundtrack of a 52-minute documentary complete with FX and ambient sounds.

Musical creativity stems from the ability to listen: our team’s main strength lies in their ability and experience in creating a synthesis of your ideas, project requirements and musical needs. 

Musical arrangement is primarily concerned with “clothing” a melody or theme in a style and context via the choice of instrumentation. A song or piece of music can be arranged in anything from hip-hop to be-bop, R’n’B to Let it Be, punk to funk, soul to rock’n’roll, Shostakovitch à la Lenny Kravitch – Mozart torn apart or Ravel unravelled. It is a question of style and orchestration.

Using a sophisticated, computer-based system and compact digital equipment, gone are the days of massive mixing desks, endless recording sessions involving innumerable musicians and technicians

and an equally massive bill at the end; the occasional saxophonist or female backing singer is all one is likely to encounter at our composers’ studio.

It is worth noting that musical arrangement of copyright material is not as straightforward as one might think
