Recording

 Remote tracking, custom arrangements, transcription

Cellist and composer George Crotty contributes a unique sound to film scores and original recordings. A skilled Pro Tools editor, he specializes in the capture and production of custom cello tracks, and acoustic music for strings.

George can be heard on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage (2023), feature film The Silent Planet (2024) as well as documentaries Wine and War (Lebanon, 2020) and Fragmentos (Colombia, 2020).

At home in many musical styles in and outside of western music George has become an adept improviser, as well as a transcriber of midi or audio recordings. He hopes this can save you time and energy in communicating and collaborating.

  • “In 2017 I had the opportunity to work alongside George in a studio recording session for Spotify. Since then, I have hired him to record remotely for my own music and he has always shown immense professionalism and delivered high quality recordings.”

    — Jon Foster

  • “I met George upon the recommendation
    of Erik Friedlander while scoring a documentary by Mark Johnston called 'Wine and War'. His improvisation skills in the spirit of Arabic Maqam, Avant-Garde or Neoclassical styles were key in making some of the cues more authentic and original. I would work with George again in a heartbeat."

  • “George was recommended to me by Matt Brubeck. Not only was he very attentive in his interpretation of my compositions, but his ability to record his parts remotely was super convenient. He is an incredibly versatile cellist and I am thankful for the brilliant playing he brought to my album”

    — Heidi Savoie

  • “It’s an absolute pleasure working with George. The recorded tracks received back from him were perfect, no revisions necessary. He is a great person to work with and you can tell he truly cares about the music he is recording and performing. George is definitely my go-to cellist for session work.”
