Modern wedding music experiences designed just for you.
From immersive modular synthesizer cocktail hours to custom-arranged ceremony music and high-energy live bands, oneL creates unique musical moments that guests remember long after the event.
The Modular Cocktail Hour
A One-of-a-Kind Sound Experience
Everyone expects the usual cocktail hour playlist.
Instead, imagine an evolving live soundscape created in real time.
Using a large analog modular synthesizer, Philip Rankin performs improvised ambient music that transforms the atmosphere of your cocktail hour. The music is mellow, textured, and cinematic—perfect for conversation and celebration.
Each performance is completely unique and tailored to the energy of the room.
Since 2024, oneL has performed weekly modular synth sets at SOLARC Brewing every Monday from 6-10pm, developing a distinctive style of ambient improvisation perfect for cocktail hour settings.
Perfect for:
• Cocktail hours
• Art venues and outdoor weddings
• Modern and creative couples
• Guests who appreciate something truly different
Custom Ceremony Music Design
Your ceremony should sound like your story.
Philip Rankin offers custom musical arrangements and full music direction for wedding ceremonies, allowing couples to walk down the aisle to music that is deeply personal.
Whether it’s a favorite song by Taylor Swift, Tom Waits, The Beatles, or something completely unexpected, Philip can create a unique arrangement tailored to your event.
Arrangements can be written for:
• String quartet
• Brass quartet
• Choir or vocal ensemble
• Piano and solo instrument
• Jazz/Rock ensemble
• Custom combinations of instruments
Philip also handles musician contracting and coordination, assembling the right performers and ensuring every musical moment runs smoothly.
