From the early stages of writing two of my originals "Home" and "Frozen Heart" I knew that both would definitely call for strings. It's so exciting to be at the point in the process where we are doing that. Today we are recording The Seattle Symphony's Wes Dyring on viola. Wes is not only a great player and composer, he is also an artist that is really interested in getting the parts right for the sake of the song. We met a couple of weeks ago where Wes wanted to know more about the lyrics, my writing process on the songs and the direction I thought the string parts should go. After that he got to work composing some very lovely parts! Here's a photo of Wes tuning up at Skoor Sound.
