Viola Recording Session for a Ballad writer
Recording some warm viola sounds for a ballad . A regular songwriter I work with has a new song in the works and needs some live strings to bring the song to life.

Happy Recording clients
Having played for a couple of recordings recently, varying from bohemian, to love song, to Latin pop, one client sent such a lovely testimonial:
‘Thank you Kristel. Your violin weaves in and out like a benevolent spirit, providing a soothing element to the song’s capricious febrility’.
Much obliged, Kevin.
A break-up song, change the world ditty and a wedding entrance tune

Bespoke Wedding Song Recording
Today’s recording session was a custom-written song for an upcoming wedding entrance song. I think the final recording will be very special to the bride-to-be and her dad who requested the recording.
Sunrise on Set
Film shoots usually start early, so I got to see the sun rise on set this morning for a romantic scene, whilst playing some classical numbers.
I am so grateful for opportunities like this at a time when places to play are few and far between.
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.
