Alongside
avidly promoting and raising awareness about my own
unique composition and collaboration projects, I
also stay busy taking on
recording session sideman work as a freelance string
orchestrator, electric bassist, and violist for
a wide variety of label-backed artists,
independent bands, and Motion Picture and Television
projects that often feature some of the world's
top musicians, producers, and engineers. For
freelance string orchestration projects (based in
my Los Angeles network), I also serve as the
primary string contractor
and transcription/copyist which further ensures that
a string tracking session will go as smoothly and caffeinated as
possible.
Utilizing
my diverse musical skill set and an exceptional business
sense, I
aim to exceed the client's wishes. My
enthusiasm and passion for musical
creation promotes effective collaboration that ultimately
raises the level of play of those around me. Drawing
from my strong project management background, I
give
my clients the detailed
attention and focus
they deserve!
You can
e-mail me at jay AT jayterrien
DOT com or you can MYSPACE
me if
you would like to discuss my current working rates
and availability for a
string
arrangement project, a studio
recording session, or
a live
concert performance opportunity.
You can
also find me catching up with fellow bassists and
gear aficionados at industry-trade shows like NAMM or
at bass-specific online communities such as TalkBass.com, Extendedrangebassist.com,
and The Bottom
Line.
