Work
Here is a selection of work I'm really proud of!
Alexis Taylor - Dying In Heaven
Had such a great time playing with Alexis for this one. We were recording straight to vinyl which I have never done before and was a really interesting process!
Bea and Her Business - Never Ever Love a Liar (Live Session)
We filmed this session at the old Dragon's Den studio in London. It was put together by a pretty epic team and all three of the tunes were filmed in one day! I think the outcome looks great!
Sakamoto: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Arr. Metcalfe)
I think this piece is so beautiful and the arrangement by John Metcalfe uses the strings so well. I love studio 3 at Abbey Road too.
David Kushner - Skin and Bones (Official Music Video)
It was so great putting this track together with Rob Kirwan. I recorded the piano, bass synth, guitar, cello and added some string programming in there too.
The Last Dinner Party - Caesar on a TV Screen
I got invited to play on this track by the Elysian Collective. They had written some great string arrangements and we recorded at Church Studios.
Bryan Ferry - Reason or Rhyme
I recorded on this album with Bryan back in 2018 at Bryan's personal studio. It was great to play on it for him and to talk to him about the various bass players he'd worked with over the years!
Seth MacFarlane - We Wish You The Merriest
Recording this music was such a great time! Even though we recorded it in August whilst the sun was shining it was great to record it with the Dream Town Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Cottee. Recorded in Abbey Road Studio 2.
Charles Leclerc - MIA23 (1:2)
Initially when my publishers asked me to work on this track I hadn't watched Formula 1 and I didn't know who Charles was. I am now obsessed. Charles sent over his piano part for the tune and I recorded and programmed the strings, mixed the track and produced it. It was a real honor to get to work on it and I'm a big Charles fan now too!
SUN SILVA - Self Life Acoustic
I always love arranging for and playing with strings. I am playing double bass here and I arranged the strings parts as well as mixed and produced the track. It was recorded at the Clocktower at King's Cross.
The Amazing Devil - The Horror and the Wild
I met Joey and Madeleine quite a few years ago now and have recorded 2 albums with them now. I love the drama in their music and I think this track really shows that.
Bass Untamed - Westwood Instruments
When Rob Westwood gave me a call to ask if I'd be interested in recording a sample pack I was pretty over the moon! We recorded it at the Nave studio just outside Leeds over a couple of days and it was a great challenge to try and get some properly gnarly sounds out of the bass! It's not your average sample pack and it sounds great!
Tuff Bear - How It Feels
Theo Vernon (Tuff Bear) got in touch to ask if I could play on his first EP and I have to say I didn't expect the whole thing to be this catch but I love it! The video for this tune is particularly good too!
Joy Crookes - 19th Floor, Mahogany Session
It's not often you get to hear the raw power of someone's voice against strings alone, and this was really special! Joy sounds amazing here and I really love the arrangement.
Shygirl - Cleo at Abbey Road
Just like the Joy Crookes session, the vocal and string arrangement works so well here. It's always a pleasure to record at Abbey Road and the way they lit this shoot was incredible! Playing my Hawkes Professor here.
