Looking for Talented Instrumentalists to Record Short, High-Quality Phrases

I'm looking for skilled instrumentalists to record short, expressive phrases or improvisations (around 8–16 bars, approx. 20–40 seconds each). These recordings will be used in original music productions, with a focus on creating emotional, textured, and musically engaging material.

What I’m looking for:
Clean, dry recordings – no reverb, delay, or processing

A human feel – expressive, slightly imperfect p ... laying is welcome (natural tone, slight timing variation, small imperfections)

Simple and catchy musical ideas – no overly complex or jazzy playing

For melodic instruments: short, memorable phrases or motifs with light variation (e.g. second half switch-ups)

For chordal instruments: short progressions with space, optionally layered with subtle lead ideas

Must be work-for-hire: recordings will be used commercially with no royalty claims

You're free to improvise within the overall direction — I can send reference material to guide the vibe.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy working on, let me know! I'm happy to clarify anything or discuss pricing in more detail.
