Collaboration FAQs
Do I need written music/a score to work with you?
Nope! Written music is not required to work with me. I'm comfortable improvising or composing a part (or parts) based on what the project needs. Whether you have a detailed arrangement or just a rough idea, I can adapt and help bring your vision to life.
Who owns the rights to recordings you contribute to?
All sessions are completed under a standard work-for-hire contract unless we agree otherwise in advance. That means you retain full copyright and ownership of the final product, including any recordings I contribute to! While you fully own the performance, ensuring proper credit is always appreciated (see details in next question).
How should you be credited?
Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music allow you to include performer credits in the song’s metadata. This and inclusion in liner notes or other online descriptions helps ensure the credit appears on my artist’s profile and helps provide exposure. A typical format is [Performer’s Name] – [Instrument/Role]. For a song where I do not write or record my own part, this could look like, Katie Mosehauer – violin, viola, cello. If I also wrote or recorded the parts, credit could look like Katie Mosehauer – string arrangements and recording, violin, viola, cello performance. In all instances, please credit “Katie Mosehauer”.
What is your turn around time for a recording?
A one- to two-week turnaround time is typical for most projects, depending on the scope and my current schedule. If you have a specific deadline in mind, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. Before any project begins, a delivery timeline will be agreed upon and included in the project contract.
Can you play in a specific style or genre?
While my formal training is rooted in classical music, my playing spans a wide range of styles—including jazz, country, and lyrical indie backdrops. This versatility allows me to adapt my tone and approach to fit the unique character of each project, whether it calls for refined precision or an intimate, emotive feel.
At what point in the project do you recommend adding string parts?
While strings can be added at any stage of a project, I’ve found that the best results come when tracks are as polished as possible before they’re sent to me. This helps avoid making subjective choices—like whether to align with slightly out-of-sync guitars or drums, or how to navigate vocal intonation that hasn’t been tuned yet—ensuring a cleaner, more cohesive final product.
Have a question I didn’t answer?
Additional questions may be addressed on the Remote Tracks or In-Person Recording pages. But if those don’t do the trick, send me a note!
