Hungarian Studio Orchestra recording sessions.
jamie • February 15, 2015
I’ve been lucky enough to record live strings and brass with the fantastic Hungarian Studio Orchestra in Budapest several times recently.
They’re a great group and a joy to work with – highly recommended for anyone doing orchestral recording.
This week I did my first session via Skype – it’s not as exciting as flying out in person but on the flip side it does mean you’re allowed to wear your slippers for the session. Swings and roundabouts….
Delighted to hear that Treason has been perfoming very strongly on Netflix - we were number 1 on seven countries and top 10 in eighty eight countries! Very proud to be involved with a fantastic team on this show.
Working with Graham is such a thrill - he's a genuine authentic songwriting legend, and there's not many of them about. So many hits and great collaborations, including the Yardbirds, the Hollies, Herman's Hermits as well as 10cc of course. The week before our session he'd written a song with Brian May about the James Webb Space Telescope! We got "the team back together" at Hoxa HQ again - myself on piano/MD, Chris Hill on bass and Ralph Salmins on drums and recorded a couple of Graham's great new songs. Always a joy to work with Graham and I hope we get to do it again soon.
Here's the official trailer for Treason which comes to Netflix on December 26th.
