One Man Orchestra is me, Carsten Altena, a music composer, string arranger and midi programmer from The Netherlands. I offer string arrangements and virtual orchestrations any music producer, artist, band or composer can afford. The final product is performed by an authentic sounding virtual orchestra, optionally layered with live players for enhanced realism.
I am not taking on any new projects in 2022 to focus on personal projects, but if you need to get in touch with me about something, email me at [email protected]
