The rain motif-ostinato in the piano is off-set with a lyrical violin melody that is reflective with a fanciful twist.
As an instrumentalist and composer Kristel received a Bronze Medal Instrumentalist Award from the Global Music Awards in July 2022 for her composition “Wildflower”.

Festive Christmas Recording Session
As the festive season starts to get underway, it was sweet to have a violin recording session today for a little kids poem about Christmas, all set to music.
Violin Recording Sessions
Write a poem for a loved-one, have it set to music and for a special touch add a violin recording to add extra heart-string tugs. Just finished recording a violin session for a bespoke gift song written by a husband to his wife for their upcoming anniversary.
Think of a Tolkien Tale
Think Tom Bombadil from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings… the inspiration for today’s remote recording session, played here on Murray Kuun’s superb violin.

Violin Sessions
Another online violin session done and dusted. It is so interesting to play the varied range of compositions that come through for session work. Today’s one was a little country number about a dorpie.
String Sessions
The latest session project was for a mini string orchestra.
After some special requests to hear the viola I took a quick video while recording. The feedback on this project was just fantastic, I am so enjoying being able to record for composers/songwriters all over the world!
‘Kristel recorded violin and viola parts for a musical theater song and I am not exaggerating when I say I had goosebumps when I first heard them! Her communication during the process was thorough and stress-free and her asking price was extremely fair… This talented young woman will not disappoint you and I could not be happier!’

Session Violinist
As all things turning increasingly online, I have been trying my hand (or fingers as it were) at online session work.
Very happy to have had some contented clients in the past few weeks.The most recent project had this to say
‘Kristel did an amazing job on my track. She was easy to work with, and got the job done more than on time. The recording quality and performance were both excellent. I just got the first mix back from the mixing engineer who’s working on my album with me, and your violin part had me in tears this time. Thanks again!’
