"…clever technique employed by live cellist Michelle Packman, who provides a cinematic-style scoring to the piece..."

Steve says

“Inspired by a recent article in the LA Times, I had written a pop song about a stolen cello. I recorded acoustic guitar, vocals, bass and drums. I decided the track needed some professional cello playing to bring it all together. I found Michelle on SoundBetter and sent her the track. She agreed to give it a go. What Michelle did was beyond remarkable and exceeded anything I could have imagined. Her playing was brilliant. She transformed the song. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Michelle!”

"I'm thrilled to have worked with Michelle. She improvised and composed a piece for a couple of my songs, and did so very quickly; what I ended up receiving was a gorgeous, symphonic, multi-layered track that went above and beyond. Michelle's playing is lively and colorful yet very mature, suffused with emotion and sincerity. She is exquisitely talented."
