Caroline has performed internationally with renowned ensembles including the Nigel Kennedy Quartet and the English Chamber Orchestra, where she currently serves as principal cellist and soloist.
Her versatile career spans multiple genres; a prolific film score catalogue, including solo features: 1917, Hilary and Jackie, Atonement, and Truly Madly Deeply, concerto appearances with major UK orchestras plus recording and touring credits alongside artists such as David Gilmour, Peter Gabriel, Sinéad O’Connor, U2, and David Gray.
She has also contributed orchestral arrangments for most of the above artists, in addition to Joan Armatrading.
As a composer, she has written for two Ghostland albums as well as her own solo recording, Such Sweet Thunder, blending classical repertoire with original compositions.
For over three decades, their musicianship has moved unseen through the world's cinemas: shaping emotion and atmosphere from just beyond the frame. Now, for the first time together, Gavin Greenaway (piano) and Caroline Dale (cello) step out from behind the screen and into clear view as Cloud Chamber, announcing their debut album Skylines.
Named after the scientific instrument that renders subatomic particles visible through fleeting vapour trails, Cloud Chamber is an apt title for a duo whose careers have long traced luminous paths through other people's musical worlds. Between them, Greenaway and Dale have performed on more than 300 film scores, collaborating with composers as diverse as Hans Zimmer, Alberto Iglesias, John Powell, Dario Marianelli, and Thomas Newman. Their artistry celebrated, but rarely in the spotlight.
The first release from this new duo is a collection of "portraits without words" - stories for travellers, both physical and philosophical. Skylines is about the journey, not just the destination.
