My Work in the Music World
I have always been fascinated by how individual notes combine into melodies, chords, complete musical works and an entire sound. Since childhood, I have tried playing a wide range of instruments, starting with recorder, then guitar, drums, percussion and cello. Today I perform with a variety of orchestras, both as a musician and as a conductor.
I work directly with many people in the music and film industries, taking a versatile approach to a wide range of projects. I compose, arrange, orchestrate and conduct music for quartets, jazz trios, big bands, acoustic bands and orchestras in any style.

Arranging & Orchestration
I have been arranging and orchestrating for fourteen years, with extensive experience writing for orchestras, bands, quartets, trios, big bands, pop brass bands, concert bands, folk ensembles, synthwave experiments and more. I began arranging directly for a full symphony orchestra, which later gave me the opportunity to hear what worked—and what did not—in written transcriptions and in my own arranging experiments.
My orchestration credits include many film and non-film projects, such as Angel of the Lord 2, The Intimate Enemy, Against the Wild, Maria Theresa, Bond & Beatles in Concert, Ewa Farna in Concert, Vesna Concert and many more.
Conducting & Music Preparation
I studied conducting at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory with Professor Hynek Farkač. I gained further experience by studying the work of distinguished conductors, including Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan and Jiří Bělohlávek. I currently conduct the Šarbilach Orchestra, which I have led for four years. I am also an in-house conductor at Soundsgate, where I orchestrate and prepare sheet music.
High-quality sheet music helps musicians and conductors understand the score quickly and work efficiently. Poorly prepared notation extends recording sessions, increasing costs for both musicians and the studio. I do everything I can to avoid that problem.
MIDI Mockups
I have been creating realistic orchestral demos (MIDI mockups) with virtual instruments for 20 years. Recently, I have mainly used Digital Performer 11, Cubase, Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 and Native Instruments Kontakt for efficient articulation switching, fast sketching, notation directly in DP and easy export to Sibelius.Partners and Supporters
