Remote Cello Sessions
With an artistically rich background and over a decade of experience, I offer top-tier remote cello recordings from my acoustically treated studio in West London. I’ve recorded solos for acclaimed bands, feature films, documentaries, adverts, primetime TV dramas, and AAA games.
I’ve premiered works by notable figures such as Sir John Tavener (broadcast live on BBC Radio 3) and Lorne Balfe, where I had the honour to duet with the composer himself. I’ve Collaborated with an extensive roster of prominent film and media composers, producers and songwriters from across the world.
My performances have contributed to diverse productions from industry leaders such as EMI, Universal, BMG, and the BBC, as well as Channel 4, Sky, Creative Assembly, Warner Brothers, EA Games, and others.
Some of the Film and Media composers I have recorded for include Blake Robinson, Henry Lai, Ian Livingstone, Lindsay Wright, Matt Norman, Mark Petrie, Peter Nickalls, Philip Guyler, Robin Schlochtermeier, Romain Paillot, Sarah Warne, Segun Akinola, Shie Rozow, Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab.
On stage, I’ve performed at high-profile UK festivals – from Glastonbury and Green Man to Kendal Calling, London Jazz Festival at The Barbican, and the BBC Proms at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Globally, I’ve performed at prestigious venues including Sydney Opera House, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, NRJ in the Park in Munich and Rock in Roma in Italy, among others.
The cello is recorded in Cubase with an AKG C414 microphone through a Focusrite ISA pre-amp into an RME audio interface in an acoustically treated room. This ensures the delivery of pristine audio that seamlessly integrates into your musical productions.
All fees are based on the UK Musician’s Union standard rates and can be viewed in the price list below. This link also details all the file requirements for the session.

Tell me about your tracks . . .
Not only is his professionalism and playing absolutely stellar, Matt goes above and beyond with his remote recording, even providing additional takes and personal touches/options so that you can sit back and let your music sing with his cello on top. Turn around and proficiency is top notch – highly recommended. I will be collaborating with Matt for a long time to come.
We were delighted with Matt’s recent work for us. We needed a solo cello track to accompany a song; his playing and interpretation was perfect and his highly professional approach made everything easy for us. We recommend him highly.
I asked Matt to record a gentle, nostalgic melody for a library track. It was important that the cello line really sang out but remained understated. Matt delivered the exact nuance that I wanted, first time. Turnaround was quick, efficient and professional, I couldn’t have asked for more! His playing is brilliant and I really look forward to working with him again.
I came to Matt because I needed experimental cello sounds for some trailer tracks. The recordings came out perfectly and they’ve really elevated my tracks to the next level. I couldn’t have made these tracks without Matt’s skills! He was lovely to work with and very flexible when it came to dreaming up strange techniques and sounds! I hope we can work together again soon.
Matt created the perfect cello FX that I was looking for. He worked incredibly fast and provided more than was asked of him. Will work with him again!
What can i say? I just listened the demo of an arrangement that Matt did for our band.
I have no words to explain the sensation i felt.
He has done something really amazing, a perfect structure, intertwining of sublime sounds, shrewdness in balancing each musical sentence. A masterpiece. I will never stop thanking our producer Steve Lyon for introducing us Matt.
Excellent work! Great service and top playing. Thank you so much!
Matt is very easy to work with and above that a great cellist – he understands what the music needs, and even the most basic minimal parts are performed with just the right emotion and feel.
Matt did fantastic work for me – lovely lovely parts that were sensitive to the modd and emotion of the song – stood out amongst all the session musicians I worked with. Top class.
Matt is not only a great Cellist, he is also a true professional. I hired him for some Cello work for my self produced album here in America. Despite being miles across the Atlantic and my being musically illiterate, Matt was able to instruct me on how to send him my song so that he could put his Cello overtop my track. To hear the track it sounds as if I had him in the studio with me. If I ever needed Cello work, I would go to him exclusively. Thanks Matt!
Matt is a true talent. I booked him for a recording session and I love the sound and atmosphere he brought to my songs. He has a wonderful musical ear for melody and true feeling that will add emotion and movement to your songs. I can’t wait to play with him again!
Matt is a wonderful musician. His cello performances are always beautiful and very expressive. The sound of his cello is warm and silky and the quality of his recording are excellent. He is very professional and delivered the recordings quickly. Thank you Matt for your recordings!
Matt has delieverd beyond my expectations. Wonderful playing, beautifully captured and turned-around very quickly – it’s like he read my mind!
Matt will be my go-to cellist and arranger from now on.
Thank you!
I’m really grateful to Matt for his excellent cello work and professional manner. His contribution has really enhanced one of my compositions and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks Matt!
Es un gran profesional y un gran sesionista, un placer haber trabajado con el, rapidez, calidad, una maravilla.
Matt Constantine is an excellent cellist! He has done a great job with my composition. Very professional and work with it online is very effective and always get what you have in mind. Thank you very much for your work!
I recently used Matt to record a cello part for a TV commercial. He turned around the part quickly and it sounded wonderful…he listened to what I wanted and got it right the first time. I look forward to working with him a gain.
Matt’s playing is beautiful. He is very professional and friendly to work with online. He has played the cello melody exactly the way I imagined it in my head. Thank you so much for your time and work. :O)
