I scrape on a wooden box and record noises that you can use to influence other people's emotions.

Here's a small selection of some of the tracks I've had the privilege to play on (including lots of THJ's library work!):

And here are some tracks where I'm one of the featured artists (including my solo debut recording with Royal Ballet Sinfonia, our BBC Premiere award-winning Imogen Holst: String Chamber Music disc, and the Towards Silence project with Sir John Tavener):

What I do: Most commonly, soundtrack and pop-style work from printed notation, but I can also provide improvised or composed tracks too. No brief is too weird! I'm a stylistic omnivore / high-level generalist (!) and can tackle pretty much anything 🙂 My deepest expertise is classical, folk and some jazz styles, but I'm a musical nomad at heart and I can make things zing (or swing!).

What I don't do: There are a few fiddle genres where I'm NOT an expert improviser (such as bluegrass/country/Americana) but I'll always make this clear to you upfront, and refer you onwards when I think more specialist knowledge is needed. That said, anything notated is generally fine.
