THIS ISN'T ROMANCE

I see you, I see me

A Radio 3 play by In-Sook Chappell, with music composed by Neil Stemp. I was asked to play solo cello with some of the music already laid down to play with. The recording took place in the front room of my house with a good microphone.

F

What Price Escape

F, also known as The Expelled is a 2010 British horror film written and directed by Johannes Roberts with music composed by Neil Stemp. This was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. As well as playing the solo line in this recording, I was recorded as one of three cellos in other parts of the score.

STUDIO CELLIST

Samples of recording

Peter Wilson has experience of working with composers from film, pop and rock, and classical music genres, to record cello. On this page are examples of his work as a professional recording artist.

He now has his own studio to record music remotely to anywhere in the world.

Angry Ants

A BBC Documentary with music composed by Grammy award winner, Steven Price. The music won a BAFTA for best original music in 2016. Steven booked me for a 4hr session to record multi tracked cello using many different playing techniques. The sample you hear includes examples of tremelo, glissando and layers of multi-tracked cello panning from left to right.

OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME

So Tony

Other Side of the Game is a gangster film with music composed by Neil Stemp. In this sample my solo cello uses the lower sounds to create a brooding sound which builds to multi tracked interjections and a crescendo to a final chord.

AMAZING KOREA

Gardens Part 7 'Mountain Gardens'

Asked by composer Neil Stemp to record many tracks for a South Korean TV documentary, here is a snippet of some of the solo cello I recorded at home that is played alongside traditional Korean instruments and synthesised sound.

WHO KILLED THE KLF

Jura

An arrangement of 'Waltzing Matilda' written by film composer Vincent Watts for Solo Cello with Glissando sweeps together with the Synthesised sound- for the 2021 Film Documentary by Chris Atkins about the British Electronic Band, The KLF.

ABOVE THE COSMOS

Walking on Broadway

A song taken from the album Above the Cosmos, composed by John Garrison. The signature cello riff with glissando slide develops into a multi tracked layering of cello sound to create a harmonious sound for the voice to rest on. It was recorded in John's house/studio.

RSC TWELFTH NIGHT

'O mistress mine'

The music composed by Nigel Hess, was written for the recent RSC production of Twelfth Night at Stratford-Upon Avon. Although only 3 string players(violin, cello, and double bass) the music is cleverly written by Nigel and produced, mixed and mastered expertly by Gareth Cousins.

KANUTE

Walls and Time

Kanute is a band of musicians led by Rachael Mantle and Rob Overseer. I was asked to record multi-layered cello on this track that dovetails nicely with the vocals.

JANAPAR

Love on a bike

An evocative soundtrack, composed by Vincent Watts accompanying the film directed by James Newton. I have pieced together several samples from the soundtrack which demonstrate solo cello and octave doubling of parts mixed with effects creating a rich and warm texture.
