High quality recordings

I record high quality, unique string parts alongside your finished track, in my home studio, and send them to you anywhere in the world. 


Using multiple instruments and layering multiple recordings together, you can choose between having solo instruments, string quartet, string orchestra, or any custom string ensemble recorded alongside your track. Pretty much anything is possible!

Bespoke arrangements

I compose and arrange all violin, viola and cello lines in harmony with your vision for your track, enhancing your music with a bespoke string arrangement that complements your work. I record all violin and viola parts myself, and work with a small number of cellists who I record in the same acoustic space. Rough recordings can be sent for you to approve the arrangement before I record in full.

Ready to release, or dry stems sent to you

I can provide you with a finished product, mixed and mastered and ready to release.


Alternatively, If you are working with a producer on an album and need continuity across multiple tracks, I can send dry stems directly to your studio of choice for mixing and mastering.

Cost effective

Hiring a venue, four or more musicians, a writer, an audio engineer and a producer to add strings to your track can be beyond some budgets. The package I offer is available for a much lower fee, because I use my own venue, and perform, record and produce all the strings parts myself. 

Studio / Live performance

Fixing players for larger projects is also easily possible; please contact me to discuss your requirements, whether that is for studio recording or live performance.

Flexible options

I can entirely compose the string arrangement for your track, or record a score you have written yourself, or follow and fill in the blanks in a partial guide - whatever you need!


Pricing is on a variable scale based on the parameters of your individual project. I welcome discussions on how to best serve your music in conjunction with your budget and musical vision.
