ONLINE Session Recordings

​

I am finding myself increasingly busy in the studio playing remotely on other peoples  songs, composers TV and film scores and computer games.

​

I can provide you with high quality recordings of any combination of my instruments. There are no location restrictions- I work  with people worldwide. You just send me an mp3 of the work as a backing track, then I record my part(s) and send them my sound files to be added to the project- simple!

​

I'm set up to record:

​

Fiddle/ violin/ viola (predominantly in Celtic/ US folk styles), layered string parts.

Mandolin

Mandocello

5-string banjo (clawhammer and bluegrass styles)

Appalachian dulcimer

Acoustic guitar (finger and plectrum styles- standard and open tunings)

Electric guitars (Telecaster, lap steel C6 tuned)

Tiple (a 1948 Martin)

Musical saw, Theremin and Wine Glasses

​

...and combinations of these instruments on your song.

​

I work from my home studio where I use a variety of mics and high quality pre-amps.

I supply finished stems in any format.

GENERAL SESSION WORK

​

My session work encompasses pop/ rock/ folk/ singer-songwriter genres to film underscore, themes and textures- predominantly acoustic but equally comfortable using effects/ processing.
