Listen here and find out for yourself!

From Mockup to Cinematic

Even the best sample libraries can’t replicate:• natural bow changes
• real phrasing and breath
• organic timing variation
• expressive vibrato control
• dynamic shaping across long lines
A live performance adds subtle movement and emotional depth that instantly elevates a track, especially in exposed moments.If your track already sounds good, real cello makes it feel finished.

Sounds Like More Than One Cellist

I can record:
Solo cello
Layered duets / trios
Full cello ensemble / section stacks
Tutti-style cinematic parts
All layered parts are recorded as true separate performances (not copy/paste doubles).

Need a single emotional solo line, or a full cinematic low-string wall?

Here's a screenshot of the DAW session for a horror film I worked on recently. We recorded over 20 layers of cello playing weird, creepy sounds all at once. It turned out amazing! Each of those little lines is the automation curve for a different layer of cello.

The Right Sound for Your Project

Every project is different, so I can deliver multiple mic perspectives depending on the vibe you want.

Available options include:
Close mic (detail + presence)
Far / room mic (natural space)
Bridge / body tone options
Blendable multi-mic mixes
Electric Cello
I can also record direct from my pickup for a gritty, focused tone that’s perfect for: hybrid scoring, distortion, and sound-designed cello.

How Remote Sessions Work

1. Send the Track
Send your demo / mockup + sheet music or midi file if you have it (this is the professional standard but not required, I can play by ear no problem)
2. We Align on Vision
We discuss style, emotion, mic options, layering (solo vs section), and budget.
Pricing depends on length, complexity, layering, and turnaround.
3. I Record & Prepare Files
I record clean, expressive performances in my treated space.
Editing / cleanup level is tailored to the project scope.
4. You Drop It Into Your DAW
You receive a nice organized folder of high quality .wav files (clearly labeled by mic + take).
Import, blend, and you’re done.

About Me

I started playing cello when I was 4.
I’ve performed in orchestras around the world, collaborating with artists such as Ben Folds and Gucci Mane as well as recording cello for modern film and game productions.
BUT I'm not just a classically trained cellist, I am also a working composer in films, video games, and media and have recorded cello as well as other instruments that I play on my own projects over the years. I currently run Bumpy Studios, an audio production company specializing in interactive music and integration for games with my partner, Ling.
