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), as well as documentaries Wine and War (Lebanon, 2020) and Fragmentos (Colombia, 2020). His collaboration with Kirk Starkey, Vidi Aquam (2017) integrates extended cello techniques with digital processing.
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.”

“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."— Karim Douaidy
