Kirk Starkey String Design delivers fully customized string writing, performance and production for your project. A ‘song first’ approach and versatile compositional technique define Kirk’s unconventional approach to string arrangement. String Design provides an innovative and satisfaction guaranteed model for online musical collaboration.

 

Based in Ottawa ON Canada, we deliver everything from perfectly notated parts to fully edited ProTools sessions, .OMF files,  consolidated .BWF, .AIF files, everything up to and including 96kHz sampling rates. Other formats such as analog tape are also possible. We are in the business of delivering the arrangement you want in the format you need it.

 

Full string production from concept to recording is our specialty. We have a small pool of extraordinary players who are versatile and technically brilliant.  Decades of professional orchestral and recording experience behind our players ensures an incredible product. Golden Reel winning Audio Engineer Giuseppe Mancuso is available for more complex projects involving location recording.

 

Pricing depends entirely on desired instrumentation and the complexity of the project, both musically and logistically. For example, if travel and/or location recording are necessary this will increase the cost significantly. If you are working on an Indy label budget there are many options - don’t hesitate to call and discuss what you’re looking for.
