Add emotion to your track with some Live-Strings.
During my classical Viola studies at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, I developed a passion for arranging producing and playing livestrings/violin/viola for artist of all different genres. I'm here to help you create your own string section. Wether it is by recording layers to create an ensemble sound, help you carry out your string ensemble session, dubbing your midi ideas for a more realistic feel or just some solo lines for the extra something.
All recordings up to string-quartet can be done in my studio. You can also join the arranging and editing process via Zoom or Discord so that the final tracks perfectly match your imagination.
So regardless if you are a Metal band, Singer-Songwriter, Rapper, DJ, or Musician without any genre, lets work together and create something special!
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.
