 String Recording

Emma is classically trained violinist and violist. Additionally, she can record cello and double bass.
Featured below are examples of Emma’s string recordings.

Orchestral

Orchestral strings offer heavy layering of 6 -10 recordings per part. I use different microphones and miking techniques here to reflect the style of what it is I am recording.

String quartet

String quartet is only one recording per part. These recordings are done more close miced and intimate than in an orchestral setting, and I utilise more expressive playing. There isn’t an example below, however double bass could be added for a string quintet option.

Solo

These are all solo instrument recordings. With solo recordings, I get much closer to the mic and always record in a cardioid, directional pattern.

Emma Greenhill is an Australian screen composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist with a background in classical violin. She graduated with a Bachelor of Music (Composition) from the Sydney Conservatorium in 2017 and has since built a successful career in screen composition. Her scores are deeply organic, performed and recorded live on real instruments, blending acoustic and electronic textures to craft nuanced, narrative-driven music.

Emma has composed for a wide range of screen projects, with recent credits including SBS/NITV’s Reckless composed with Cassie To, Stan’s Watching you under composer Amanda Brown, MasterChef Australia (Seasons 16 & 17) alongside The DA’s Office, and the Romance Was Born Vivid projection on Customs House with Heckler Sound. Emma has several upcoming projects with release dates this year, including a new ABC comedy series Bad Company (composed with Cassie To) and the feature film Boss Cat (composed with Johnny Green).

Her commercial work includes campaigns for AMPOL, Toyota, Connoisseur Ice Cream, as well as sonic branding for KPMG Australia and Kismet Films. Her screen compositions have been recognised with the APRA AMCOS Madeby Prize (2021), the 2022 Young Composer Award and nominations at the Screen Music Awards for both 2024 and 2025.
