I've recently retired from full-time work but can be tempted back to the keyboard to assist with your special project. I particularly enjoy translating books about music, the arts and interesting ideas. I find editing translations and non-mother-tongue English satisfying, and I relish the challenge of directing audio recordings in any language.
