About
- Chris Kalcov is a sound engineer in London, UK. Having worked as the producer of the 3G Sounds Podcast, highly-rated British radio podcast on iTunes - receiving recent endorsements by Audible.com, Rode Microphones and LG Electronics for audio quality - he now studies the Tonmeister in Music & Sound Recording at the University of Surrey. Gaining past tuition from Jazz saxophonist Mornington Lockett and a Cambridge Pre-U D3 in Music, he specialises in studio and location recording, multitrack mixing, transcription and live sound design. He has an obsession with microphones, expertise in signal chains within FM radio stations, is extremely critical about preamps, appreciates a good pie and also has no idea why he's referring to himself in the third person.I'm also a session alto saxophonist in my spare time, having either performed or engineered in numerous venues such as The Luxe at Spitalfields, St. James' Spanish Place, Cadogan Hall, Royal Festival Hall and The Royal Albert Hall; 606 and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Clubs.This here is my CV.I also have a Music Scores page where I offer my transcriptions/arrangements/compositions for free download.I hope you like jazz!Clients and Work:

- Jazz Arrangements and Transcriptions
People say listening to skipping tape-heads and Logic Pro loop regions over and over again has made my hearing pretty good, but hey, I just like transcribing and arranging things I listen to.
I hope the following PDF scores I've put together come in handy to fellow jazz musicians out there, some are full transcriptions and lead sheets, others my own compositions.
Enjoy!
