String Arrangements, Score Editing and Music Copying Services

Stephen is delighted to work with composers and recording artists to build on your existing string ideas and turn them into real string parts ready for the studio. Stephen can also orchestrate parts from Logic and Sibelius files or similar music creation software.

Sample Testimonial

"Upon recommendation, this is my first experience of utilising the services of Stephen Hussey and the USO for 'Arrangement' purposes. I am more than happy to say that, given a choice, I will now, never use anyone else in respect of my song writing career.

The standard of Artistry and Talent in both Stephen's Arranging prowess & the USO's Musicianship is clearly, exceptionally high!

The USO's customer care policy under Stephen & Natasha's management is also, clearly of paramount importance and this fact shines through ... I genuinely don't remember an occasion in this industry where I have been made to feel that I am receiving the same level of professionalism, integrity and commitment to 'perfection' on my project as any signed artist would receive!

With hand on heart, I cant praise enough all involved in the Urban Soul Orchestra and I wish them the heights of continued success they so clearly deserve - A superior service and exceptional value for money!

Highly Recommended".
