Christoph van Hal on SoundBetter

I write, compose, produce, arrange & love MUSIC. Wether it is written in for a small Band over to a Big Band or up to an Film-Orchestral sound, it doesn't care. I'm confirmed with a lot of Musicstyles-Jazz, Funk,Pop,SingerSongwriter, or as I mentioned classical film scores, it sounds crazy, but as an Multiinstrumentalist I got the keys.

I started with 6 years on a C Flute ;-) and 23 yrs. later, I made my Master (jazz trumpet and piano) at the "Hochschule für Musik & Theater" in Hanover (Germany). I studied arranging and composing with Jörg Achim Keller (NDR Big Band) and Goran Tschubrilo in Lippstadt (Germany). In the years that followed I was touring a lot as a live and studio musician with well-known German bands such as (Wir sind Helden, Marquess, Hanover Big Band,etc.). In addition to the trumpet, I learned to play the trombone, guitar and bass. Since 2010 I have been composing and arranging for German television-series and cinema films, as well as for productions in the commercial music industry (Sonymusic-Universal-Constantinfilm).
I compose write and work(ed) also for the Opera and Theater in Hanover.

I work quick and conscientious of course in the quality of a high end production.

    Absolutely loved working with Christoph, the music was really cool, the arrangements where top notch, and the sheets were perfectly writen. He was clear about what he wanted, and the communication was fast, it was really easy to work with him. Had a lot of fun playing his big band arrangements! Hope we can work together again in the future!

    Christoph is a fantastic composer & arranger! His melodic writing is very musical, which makes it fun to sing and easy to deliver a compelling performance. Communication throughout the process was great, and I'd be happy to sing on any future projects!

    Christoph recorded a lovely version of "All the Things You Are" and I'm honored, he chose me to add the vocals. It's been a pleasure working with Christoph and I can recommend him a 100%. Do also check out his website for more beautiful music!
