    I am a freelance composer, orchestrator and arranger.
    I have a Masters Degree in music theory and write and produce both classical concert music and commercial electronic music in my free time.


    I have been freelancing in Cape Town for over 4 years as a composer, arranger, orchestrator, music producer and sound designer, either from home or as an in house composer for various studios in town.
    I have experience in working on musicals, classical concerts, commercial advertisements and computer games as well as lecturing in classical orchestration and music technology.
    I've also done extensive work on writing music for children's stories, applications and arty short films. Classically my work has been performed around the world, including a performance to be held at the ISCM 2017.
    My aspirations are to write academy award and grammy winning music, so I am always very interested in working on new, challenging and exciting projects.

    You can listen to some of my past work through my website: www.maikewatson.com

    I value the quality of my work dearly and aim to satisfy your professional needs. I also value communication which usually makes working with me a pleasurable and efficient experience.

    So, if you have any musical needs please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
    I'd love to help in any way I can.

    You have yourself a wonderful day now.
