Violin and Viola - The Organic Touch

From arranging to recording and production

The remote composing, arranging and violin / viola recording services are provided by our main artist Francois Mathian (aka Fransoafran).

It's the perfect complement to your modern classical track. For pricing and availability please email us via the contact button below.

Francois can use two different acoustic violins (french violins from the early 20th century) with distinctive tones, and a viola, providing a full classical strings trio package.

For more electronic styles, two different 5-string violins are available (one with a carbon fiber body, and one purely electric) with a wide range of sounds, as well as an octave violin with a tone not dissimilar to amplified cello.
