Recording strings for Touchdown Israel and IFFBoston

Violinists Omar Chen Guey, Olga Patramanska-Bell, violist Drew Ricciardi and cellist Ashima Scripp were holding it down for a lengthy quartet session at Q Division studios back in April. I was recording several pieces from Touchdown Israel!, as well as music for this year’s Independent Film Festival of Boston screening opener. The players were fantastic, working their butts off to get through a lot of material.
