Remote recording is something I really enjoy and have a very good studio set up for. I've recorded now on multiple albums and have loved the creative process of building string parts alongside artists and giving them exactly what they imagine when they start thinking about having strings on their tracks. I also arrange and compose string parts if you're looking for additional input. I'm happy to work back and forth to come up with your string vision.
For examples of my recording output:
Hannah Grace: Golden, Try, The Moon
Imitation Games 2 Album
April Jai: Good Girl
Maeva: I'm Sorry, Not anymore,
​
The studio is fully acoustically designed to give a nice dry stem that allows you to produce it however you want to. I record on both violin and viola and have lots of experience multitracking to create upper strings orchestral sounds. I use different instruments with different mic placements to achieve a blended section sound without phasing.

Testimonials
"I have been lucky enough to work with Corey throughout the recording of my second album ‘Bigger Picture’ as well as multiple live shows. Corey is an exceptional musician and is a real joy to work with. We worked together on the string arrangements for my songs and the outcome exceeded my expectations and elevated the music to a whole new level. Corey layers up strings to sound like an entire orchestra and her attention to detail always goes above and beyond. She really is invested in creating exactly what you envisage as an artist. For me personally, she worked with me on interpreting my musical ideas and turning them into stunning quartet and string section arrangements - always ensuring it was exactly as I imagined. I feel like this care and consideration is rare in this industry.
​
Working with Corey on live shows was a dream, her professionalism and vision for the live show always instilled me with so much confidence and it’s always been a joyous team effort. I am already so excited to work with her on future projects and always recommend her to everyone I know in the industry for arrangements, recording and live shows"
