Remote Recording

---

James works with composers and sound designers from the UK and Europe, and can be booked for remote recording of clarinet, bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet parts for radio, TV, film and games. He works from his home studio, a quiet spot in The New Forest. Projects in 2025 included collaborations with musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and music for BBC Radio 4 Drama. Some of James' recent work can be heard below.

"James is not only a superb musician, who plays with a beautifully expressive tone, but also a great collaborator. He delivered some wonderful clarinet and bass clarinet parts for one of my BBC projects, and was supremely flexible and accommodating when I requested a few revisions. He’s quick to respond, and his recording setup is first-class. Highly recommended!"
