Remote Recording
I record double bass, electric bass and Baby Bass from my home studio, from pizzicato lines and solo bowed parts to layered overdubs that create a full bass-section sound. Drawing on my experience in film, television and album sessions, I provide bass tracks ready to drop into your project.
