About Me
My name is Alan Fullarton. I am a Musician/Composer/Sound Engineer based in Manama, Kingdom Of Bahrain. Think of this website as an online CV/Portfolio of my compositions.
I teach Guitar from home or on location at a venue of your choice and can also assist beginners with their own personal home studios (setup, program tuition, composition, etc). I am available for Mixing and can offer fantastic rates for people wanting to improve their demos or album. I have plenty of experience both live and in the studio and am a graduate of the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, England.
I enjoy composing music and teaching guitar/bass and have had a very successful career which I plan to continue here in Bahrain. Currently I am in a non-exclusive deal with the Etrax online music library (links page). My passion for video games music means I would be very interested in that type of work. In the media page is some game clips for which I composed all the sound for. My strongest area in composing would have to be Rock/Metal and all their subgenres, though I would never restrict myself to just that genre and am open to progressing my current skills in other genres. I am perfectly happy writing to a set brief as well as offering creative input and new directions for projects. I am also available as a session guitarist for both live and studio work. Please contact me to discuss rates.
Here is a list of the services I can perform for clients:
Music Composition, Sound Design, Music Arrangements, Studio/Live/Location (Foley) Recording, Tuition, Producing and Audio to Moving Picture Sync.
I use up to date professional music software in on a daily basis and am very comfortable using many software sequencers including:
Logic Studio (pro7,8 and 9 mainstage,soundtrack pro,waveburner)-Mac
Digidesign Pro Tools -Mac&PC
Garageband
I also have working knowledge of the following:
Sonar/Cakewalk
Cubase
Ableton Live
Fruityloops Pro
Native Instruments products and various other soft synths
Almost any hardware recoders (multitracks, cassette recorders, etc)
Microphone placement, signal chains, routing, etc.
I compose and play guitar in a now studio-based band called "Galvanic" and have another side project called Darkbreed. Yep, they are both very Metal! I am also an Apple Mac fanatic so I can also offer advice on this subject.
I am also now working with a production company in Bahrain called Talking Pictures.
We offer high quality original compositions for all your corporate needs as well as various other services including: Recording, editing, mixing, mastering, music to film, voice overs, etc. As this business is based in the middle east, it can offer fantastic savings to all international clients (no tax). We are very flexible whilst still providing the high standard of quality you would expect from a production company.
Please also visit the media page to hear and see a small selection of my work. I will be updating as I continue to compose everyday when I'm not plagued by sleep. Also check out the links/Contact page to see my band sites and affiliations
