I compose, arrange and record your strings for every genre in a professional setting. Performed for the Swedish royal family multiple times and studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Organic arrangements and fresh ideas! Unlimited revisions!
My grandmother took me to violin lessons at the age of 5, it's been a long journey since.
I studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, toured China playing the key harp and studied tabla in Kolkata. Then returned to my deep love of arranging strings. I benefit a lot from all the ear training I did growing up, and instantly hear a lot of colorful ideas to suit your project.
Typically 4 main voices with 3 sonically different overdubs on each, violin and viola. Then additional texture and effects if the music asks for it. I can get a lush cinematic sound, but some acoustic tracks may benefit from more stripped arrangements.
Tracks are delivered well organized, making it easy for you to add them to your song. I gladly receive your reference songs and thoughts in case you desire anything specific. Pop, Hip Hop, Singer-Songwriter, Rock, Indie, Classical, Folk, Country - you name it!

check_circleVerifiedFilip did an amazing job laying down some strings on a demo of mine. Highly recommended to all, thank you Filip! :)
check_circleVerifiedDetailed and great musicianship
check_circleVerifiedFilip is very professional and reliable, he delivered the work one week before the deadline with very good quality recs. Super recommended!
check_circleVerifiedFilip truly comitted to making this song as good as it was ment to be. At first only to put a string ensemble but eventually he also mixed the song. His strings contributed to a feelin of completeness and every littel nuanse of it was spot on. Not that I couldnt do revisions on it, it just was no need to. He also added some other tracks because he felt the song needed it. When I asked for something he found ways to solve it. And it was great. Id love to work with him again!

Filip did a fantastic job replacing the midi string arrangement I sent him - he also provided some additional textural strings that really brought the intro to life. Would happily work with him again :)

With his musical talent, his skill, along with the contribution of his own ideas, he really made the tracks come to life and completely surpassed my expectations.

He will provide you the best strings you could ask for!
