The Backpack Composer
Welcome to The Backpack Composer—a channel dedicated to creating orchestrated instrumental music anywhere, using only an iPad and portable gear.
🎼 Here you’ll find step-by-step tutorials on composing instrumentals with Logic Pro for iPad, arranging strings, piano, and orchestral parts, and taking melodies from idea to full production.
🎵 Join me for vlogs and behind-the-scenes videos where I share my mobile music production workflow, show how I compose original instrumental tracks, and explore the creative process of writing orchestral-style instrumentals on the go.
🎥 I also review and compare tools to help composers decide: Is Logic Pro on iPad right for orchestral music or are there alternative options? What are the best iPad apps for songwriting and instrumental production in 2025?
⚡ Whether you’re a composer, songwriter, or listener who loves cinematic instrumentals, subscribe and follow along as I prove you can carry a full studio—in a backpack.
You are enough! Things I wish I’d known sooner as a professional musician.
