With years of expertise in cello tracking and more than a decade performing with world-renowned ensembles and chamber musicians, Timothée Botbol can elevate any track to that big budget “real life” orchestra tone and emotional depth that cello is so beloved for. A variety of professional studio microphones and preamps can be chosen from depending on taste and needs.

Multiple string combinations are also available on request (string trio, string quartet, etc.) as well as an extensive collection of effect units (distortions, modulations, reverb/delays) that can be added for sound design, perfect for soundtrack, ambient music and rock/metal.

Music can be scored and performed strictly as written, or composed and arranged on-the-fly depending on the producer/composer’s needs.

A 15 years passion for pop music and modern production led Timothée Botbol to master advanced music technology and composition tools, working on most DAWs (Cubase, Protools, Ableton and Logic Pro x) and building a catalogue of tracks ranging from cinematic soundtrack, alternative, dance, pop, and lofi. His academic background also gives him the flexibility to adapt in any genre, combining knowledge from advanced music theory to stylistic codes of more rhythmic genres such as house or hip-hop.
