Congratulations!

Wildflower that you entered has been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2021 International Songwriting Competition (ISC). We received more than 21,000 entries, and semi-finalists make up only 11% of all entries, so this is a remarkable achievement!

So delighted to hear my instrumental Violin Song ‘Wildflower’ is selected as a semifinalist.

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

Kristel Birkholtz2021-10-09T13:28:58+02:0028 June 2021|Categories: Music for Weddings, Recordings|Tags: Original Music, Wedding Music|

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.

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.
