Recording Sessions
Professionally recorded instrumental performances for game and film scores
The Process
Composers consult with me about their project, send me stems, demo recordings, performance notes and/or sheet music; I then create clean, expressive, and properly gain-staged instrumental performances to be integrated into their score.
The Studio
All recordings are made in a soundproofed recording booth using professional equipment - no ambient or fan noise, reflections, or unwanted colorations.
Just look at all that foam….

Testimonial
“Chris is the ideal remote session-musician. Virtues I would highlight: he plays a plethora of instruments, recordings are of great quality, fantastic musicability (captured the energy I wanted to convey really well), super responsive, easy to get going with “play the MIDI track” without needing scores. He made the otherwise synth-heavy soundtrack come to life, and the film directors loved it. Look no further; hire Chris. ”
