Christian Howes String Production featured in MusFormation.com
Posted July 28, 2010 in General Blog, Production
Thanks to MusFormation.com for featuring Christian Howes String Production:
In these days of endless plugins and synthetic sounds, sometimes having the real thing can mean all the difference in the world. If orchestral is the sound you’re going for on your recording it can often seem ridiculously impossible to organize people, record the parts and absorb all the costs. Christian Howes String Productions attempts to offer remote recording of strings and orchestral arrangements at a very affordable price.

Another Satisfied Client
Posted June 21, 2010 in Production
John Presley recently featured our production efforts in his Music Composer Blog after we recorded strings on a piece composed by his collaborator Tyler Vahldick.
Read his blog and listen to the song, here.
An excerpt:
I highly recommend using Christian on your next string project. This really shows the possibilities for creating music around the world, using technology not just to make music faster and cheaper – but to make music that comes to life with the spirit of collaboration. Being able to write a piece and put it in the hands of professionals makes the creation process a lot more fun!

Christian Howes Expands Remote Buyout and
AFM String Recording For All Budgets
Christian Howes String Productions has expanded their remote string recording program to offer string recordings from solo violin to 60-piece string orchestra recorded remotely. While most of the projects the service produces are buyouts, they are also able to provide AFM union recorded projects.
The service, started in 2008, has provided rapid turnaround remote string recording. With Pro Tools systems on call in several time zones, same‐day service is always available at affordable prices. Clients send charts, directions and/or a reference MP3 file and can receive a fixed quote that includes free revisions until the client is happy.
Musical styles range from bluegrass to symphonic, including reading complex parts and improvisation depending on the client’s needs. The service can provide strings for sweetening pre-recorded synth tracks on popular music, complete string recordings for film and television tracks, and more.
For more information, including musical samples and a client list, visit http://www.christianhowes.com and click “production.”

solo and multi-tracked strings on Richard Bona’s new album!
Posted November 12, 2009 in General Blog, Production
For those of you who don’t know him, Richard Bona is one of the most admired voices on electric bass today, having played with Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, Bobby McFerrin, and a wide range of stars in the jazz world. He’s also an amazing singer, originally from Cameroon, and now living in NYC for more than 15 years. I’ve had the pleasure to record with him several years ago on my good friend, D. D. Jackson’s record, “Anthem” for the former major label, RCA Victor (an album which also included James Carter and Jack Dejohnette.)
Besides being an amazing pianist, composer, and producer, D.D. Jackson also maintains an excellent regular column called Living Jazz which has been published for years by Downbeat magazine and can be found at D.D.’s website:
