some of my work & clients

"I recorded an album of 9 songs with Madalena. For all tracks I had either finished bass lines or more or less mature ideas. The first song I sent her was the one where I was least satisfied with my ideas for the bass. She created a bass track out of the "chaos" that I was really fascinated by. The whole process and communication was highly professional. Madalena was able to immediately deal with my criticisms and suggestions for changes and was able to adapt to them perfectly. So it was clear that the other songs should be recorded by Madalena as well. Her playing is extremely precise and very creative with a lot of empathy for the respective music, no matter if it is about finished bass lines or new ones to be developed. The songs are from the genres Funk, Soul, Pop, Samba, Bossanova. I am looking forward to a new collaboration soon."

“It was a pleasure to work with Madalena.  Not only is she a terrific bass player, she is also a very skilled composer and arranger.  After I heard the initial tracks that she had recorded for my pop-jazz song, it was clear to me that she put a lot of thought into her bass arrangements, focused on my instructions, and put her heart into each take.  What I was trying to achieve in a bowed bass part was quite ambitious and not easy to play on bass.  Among other things, I wanted the bass to sound more like a cello.  So, Madalena had to play in the highest register available on her upright bass and still try to get a sound that meshed with my existing tracks.  She sent me four different bass parts for my song and each one was excellent and original.  Madalena also met my deadline with ease.  She and I communicated well with each other, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs any of the services that she offers.”

"In short - I was looking for an upright bassist to play a vital role in my (very niche & unusual) song, & went away really happy! Madalena seems to be able to bring a lot to pieces of different genres, so I contacted her about playing on a jazz/singer-songwriter/baroque piece on an upcoming release of mine. I'm so glad I did - she's skilled and at ease in those genres, welcomed both precise directions and the freedom to improvise, and brought steadiness and verve to the piece. It was a joy to work remotely with her - communication was great and speedy, & I felt I could trust her w/my song."

"It was a pleasure to work with Madelena, very efficient and professional. My ideas were brought to life with her excellent playing. What I had written was returned having been played very competently, as well as a take with the benefit of her improvisation and playing skills adding new ideas and new flavours to my piece. I was very happy with the final result, which was immaculately recorded to whatever specifications I needed and delivered promptly. I would highly recommend if you need your bass ideas brought to life, and I would hope we can work together again in the future."

"Madalena is a great bass player and musician. She has been enriching our music since the beginning in 2009. Not only as tight and professional studio artist but also with her creative ideas for songs and arrangements. She can play in different styles like classic double bass with bow or electric bass and always serves the music perfectly."

"She is a very elegant and talented bassist. In my projects, I have a lot of options, but I am always surprised by her very beautiful melodies and tones that are feminine. I can't think of a project without her now. During this time, she also participated in my projects with John Capek and Sefi Carmel in which she showed her best performing. Recommended bassist."

With over 15 years of experience recording and playing both basses across most genres I can provide you a bass that can elevate your music to the next level no matter which stage you are.

It doesn’t matter if you are a musician looking for a solid bass groove or a film/commercial producer looking for a “real bass” on your music. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a variety of people in different musical scenarios allowing me to offer a flexible and quality service.

In addition to being a very versatile bass player I also have been working as a composer so I can bring a high level of awareness to your bass track where needed.

Custom, professional, creative

I’m a full time musician and composer so my days are mainly spent in the studio recording and writing music. I’m friendly and easy to work with, turnaround is fast, and I like to think that the quality of both the playing and recording is equally excellent.

Because I love what I do, I can assure you I am 100% committed to my job as a recording player.

Use the player below to hear a few examples of the diverse work I’ve done. You have examples from complete songs to just some samples.

Get in touch! Happy to hear from you, whatever stage you’re at!
