Why would you not have some viola on your album?

Dynamic, melodic session viola with a John Cale-inspired angle for records that need that something else. I provide unconventional, song-focused arrangements and performances, drawing on a wealth of experience recording for artists like Viv Albertine, Smoke Fairies, and Slow Club. My approach blends a melodic base with creative use of pedals and experimental textures, or simple acoustic traditional folky layers, ensuring the viola adds a distinct sonic identity. I offer decent-quality remote recording services from my home studio, providing clean or processed stems for your project’s needs. With a career spanning numerous BBC 6 Music sessions and stages from The Glad to the Royal Festival Hall, I bring a touring experienced ear to every session. I'm a friendly collaborator who is quick to find the right mood for a track. Whether you need a haunting line or a wall of distorted drones, I’m always focused on serving the song and making the process as smooth as possible.
