String Arrangements
Over the last couple of years I have had the mad pleasure to write and record string trio arrangements for various groups, as well as play those arrangements live with many of them. I just love doing this work, and many years of making up my own arrangements and harmonies for my own bands and solo music provided me with skills that I only recently found are valuable to other people. Check these out (and email me if you want string arrangements for YOUR project):
"Unborn Capitalist from Limbo" (Drag City)
Cory Hanson
"Those strings are brought to life by Heather Lockie, who has previously played with Spiritualized, Eels, Sparklehorse and Love. Her arrangements take what could be just a folk diversion and push it into a lovely bit of bittersweet pop." -Raven Sings the Blues
"Memory of a Cut-Off Head" (Castle Face Records)
OCS (Thee Oh Sees)
"...beautifully executed strings throughout, courtesy of Heather Lockie’s fine arrangements, with equally swooning horn arrangements from Mikal Cronin..." -Drift Records
"Pale Horse Rider" (Drag City)
Cory Hanson
"...country flavours come through most clearly with the pedal and lap steel played expertly by Tyler Nuffer, but it’s present too in Heather Lockie’s string arrangements and the backing vocals..." - uncut.co.uk
"AEON" (pending)
Empire of Fun
(Steve Summers and David Kendrick [DEVO/Sparks])
