Original-Scale Composition

Real tuned acoustic percussion on your track. WAV dry stem plus processed stereo. 3-day turnaround, one alternate take included.
True Temperament Guitar / Bass
from $175
Strandberg with Bare Knuckle pickups, fretted to True Temperament. Clean DI plus amp-mic stems. Chords sing where normal guitars sour.
Sync Licensing & Custom Cues
from $400
Cues built for your film, trailer, ad, or game — in scales and tunings your competitors don’t have. Catalog licensing also available.
Custom Instruments
Vibron Guitars
Original ergonomic electric guitars and a rare fretted upright bass, designed and built by Ahmed Abou-Elnasr. The Ergon body shown is one of my own instruments — a contoured lap-cut body with my asymmetric “ergometric” neck. I currently play three Ergons and one BassUp, and you’re welcome to try them in person.
Not mass-produced — each instrument is custom-built to order, one at a time. If you’d like one, reach out and we’ll talk specs and price.

FAQ
Common Questions
How do I pay?
First-time projects run through Fiverr or SoundBetter for buyer protection. Repeat and direct work is invoiced via PayPal to 17591438 Canada Inc. Fixed mixing, mastering, and vocal jobs can be paid directly on this page. Billed in USD internationally, CAD domestically.
What rights do I get?
Session work: a non-exclusive performance licence for your project, with a credit line. Mix, master, and vocal work: you own the final audio, engineer credit required. Composition: you own the master recording; publishing terms are stated on the invoice (work-for-hire available).
What scales and tunings do you work in?
Five original scales (Sacrifunk, Hyper Phrygian, Super Phrygian, Super Hyper Phrygian, Vibron) and five tuning systems, plus standard Western modes and A=440 when the brief needs it.
Is alternative tuning a gimmick?
No — the math matters, and it is documented on every composer’s note. See the Scales page for the proof.
Do you use AI-generated music?
No. Every performance is real. I use Logic Pro and iZotope as production tools on top of my own recorded performances — the same way any modern producer uses a DAW and plugins.
What is your turnaround?
Session: 3 days. Mastering: 3 days. Mixing: 5 days. Composition: 7 days from brief lock. Rush available on every service.
What files do you need?
Mixing: stems as 24-bit WAV at the original sample rate, labelled. Mastering: a mixed 24-bit WAV with 3–6 dB of headroom. Session: a stereo reference, click, and chart or key.
