Chopin Nocturne in Db (Op. 27 No. 2)

Tim is an amazing composer and amazing to work with. There are a lot of great composers, but Tim is a member of that tiny streak that really "gets it." Super intuitive, musically top notch, personable & responsive, I would recommend Tim to anyone; you'll be lucky to have him.

The Count Of Monte-Cristo Radio Play

In 2015 I had the good fortune to meet professional composer and musical director, Tim Hammond, who said he could help me produce my project "The Count Of Monte-Cristo" which consisted of 24 songs and extensive dialogue. He was easy to get on with and the quote seemed fair. He worked tirelessly in his impressive home studio to completely transform the music for the COMC. Without reservation I would highly recommend his talent and professionalism both as an arranger, producer and musical director.
