Composition, recording & Production
I offer a range of services from recording additions to your tracks, e.g. vocal harmonies or flute parts, or I can arrange a piece and add chords all from a just melody that you've written or write a theme for your podcast. See my list of the services I offer below, and because every job differs so much, please get in touch here to discuss a very competitive quote.
Examples of my work
Here are some examples of my recording work with various artists:
Skye Boat Song - Caroline Reid
The first track features Caroline Reid singing "The Skye Boat Song" using a backing track made with "iReal Pro." This software can create a backing track simply by inputting chord names in sequence.
Radioactive - Melanie Maie
The third track features Melanie Maie singing "Radioactive" with a pre-bought backing track.
While you Mourn - Llennett
The second features Llennett singing an original song, "While you Mourn." This backing track was made from scratch using "Logic Pro."
Summertime backing track
Finally, this is a backing track I created using sheet music and a drum loop.
Composition, recording & production services
Demo recording
This can cover so many things: whether you'd like to create a demo to get into University, make a present for someone on their birthday or wedding day, or if you'd like to make an EP for your solo project, give me a message and let's chat about what you're looking to record.

Piano recording - Steinway
I am lucky enough to own a 1930s upright Steinway, and I keep it tuned regularly. I own 2 paired overhead condenser mics, with which I've recorded her with multiple times. If you'd like to come to the music room to record yourself playing, or you'd like me to record something for you, get in touch, and we can discuss what you have in mind.

Harmonies/backing vocals
One of my favourite things to do is create harmonies! Do you have a ready-made track that needs some harmonies written, but you struggle to do that? I am your gal! I LOVE writing harmonies, I LOVE singing them, too! Or do you already have harmonies written, but you just need another voice to add some lovely texture to your track? (Adding different voices to avoid the homogeny of just one voice in one track sounds great, too!) Send me a message, and we can chat about what you need.

Flute part
I can add some flute to your track - whether it's a pre-written part or you'd like me to write a flute part - I'm happy to write a floating harmony or a soaring solo - whatever you're after! Head on over to the contact page to let me know what you're after, and we can chat about it.

Create a backing track
Are you in need of a backing track, but you can't find one anywhere online? Email me via the contact page, and we can see if I can help you. There's an example of one I've made above, and I can make ones from chord charts or from piano sheet music.

Song arrangement
Are you new to songwriting and need a helping hand? I'd be happy to help you figure out some chords, whether it be in the form of tuition - a lesson in chord building or assigning the appropriate chords to the melody - or whether you'd like to give me the melody you've written, and I can assign the chords and perhaps record it from there. Send me a wee message, and we can discuss what you'd like to do, even if you're not entirely sure what you're after.
Intro/outro theme or jingle composition
Do you have a new podcast or YouTube channel, and you're looking to make it stand out from the crowd? Get in touch to discuss creating a jingle or theme tune for it to make it pop!
YouTube background music composition
Do you have a YouTube channel that sounds a little bare? Could it use a bit of background/incidental music, rather than using the stock music (you don't want to sound like everyone else, right?) Contact me via the contact form, and we can chat about what you need.
