Let me record strings on your song at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin! From single lines to smaller ensembles to a bigger orchestral sound, I can produce and arrange the strings to enhance your song or production.

Hi there!
Let me arrange and record strings (violin and viola) on your song!
I'm based at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin.

As part of a string recording duo, we have done work for Weezer, St. Lucia, Vérité, Bôa, Lime Cordiale, Gretta Ray, Alexander Vincent, Liam Mour, to name a few.
Working in a solo capacity, I have recorded for a variety of artists from all over the world.

I work inside a wonderful sounding room with a selection of microphones, depending on what the song requires, but usually I use the AEA R84 and AKG C414, and record into my Apollo Twin X.

- This is my per-track-rate.
- Includes basic edits.
- The amount of takes will depend on the brief and what the song asks for, but usually amounts to about 2 takes per voice, sometimes 4. Usually about 2-5 voices. It is not set, as I prefer to think of string arranging more in terms of audio textures, sometimes overlapping etc - not necessarily in a straight 4 voice configuration. But if you specifically want a solo viola, or 2 interplaying violins, or a smaller ensemble sound, I can do that too.
-If you have ideas regarding melodies, or have midi strings mapped out, I'll gladly work with that or use it as a jumping off point.

I work in a variety of genres, mostly pop, hip hop, disco, folk, and bigger orchestral sounds.
