Highlights
Jiya Jale
I wrote this arrangement for Berklee Indian Ensemble to be performed at the concert where A.R. Rahman, an iconic Indian composer, singer-songwriter and producer, was given an honorary doctorate degree. Upon this video's release it became a viral hit and gathered half a million views within first two weeks alone (now there are some scary numbers)
KAval Sviri
This is one of my favorite arrangements and productions ever, the first single by my beloved child Dashina, the world fusion band (you can check out our website here). This song is the mash-up of Bulgarian folk song Kaval Sviri and Joseph's LoDuca opening theme for "Xena: Warrior Princess" TV Series.
No Quarter
After writing an original arrangement to be performed for the one and only Jimmy Page, I and the group of people involved in that performance decided to join our forces to create something biiiiiiig. In this world music inspired cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" I acted as a producer, arranger, mixing engineer's assistant, and a performer.

This awesome version of Indian hit song features famous virtuoso Shankar Mahadevan, and I was honored to collaborate on writing for strings for the production. Performed by Berklee Indian Ensemble and produced and arranged by Guy Bernfeld.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
This version was performed at Berklee Commencement Concert in 2014 with Jimmy Page in the audience (he wrote this song, so I was a bit excited there). Later Jimmy said this arrangement was "superb" (he did use that exact word, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I was squeezing his hand really hard at that moment).
