What drives us

We are fascinated by how visual and acoustic sensations can influence each other, coming together to form a previously obscured world of experience. Particularly, we have discovered a passion for exploring the interplay between moving images and music. Working with an awareness of the immanent tensions between these aesthetic phenomena allows us to capture emotions and levels of meaning that might not even be perceptible otherwise. By continuously investigating the realm of opportunity where seamless contact between sound and image becomes possible, we intend to develop music that does the underlying vision behind visual art justice. Our goal with every project is to help make something that tells its own unique story and does so comprehensively, maximizing its artistic potential.

Our vision

Our way of doing this is to create music that specifically emphasizes the visual and is both musically interesting and stylistically capable of being its perfect counterpart. This means taking images and visual flow seriously. Sometimes, for example, less is more: music should work together with a scene, not overwhelm it. Consequently, our music is not about showing off our talents but achieving a fusion with the visual material that supports the final product. To achieve this kind of aesthetic unity, we consider any and all musical styles to be worth mobilizing.

Our approach

We have discovered that our team’s unique set of musical skills, from composition to final sound design and every step along the way, has allowed us to maintain high quality standards and overcome other obstacles associated with individual music production. We are confident in being able to provide sincere, well-crafted, intelligent, diversified and emotionally touching music for your visions on screen. In our style of production, we generally use acoustic instruments and unite them with electronic elements. However, our audio palette extends as far as is required to create the appropriate fusion between visuals and music.

Working with us

We choose the films and videos we work on very carefully. To be right for us - and for us to be right for it - the visual material must resonate with us in some way. Our work is first and foremost a labour of passion. We expect no less from the people we work with.

Accordingly, we seek active engagement with our creative partners on any and all projects. We respect your vision and strive to complete it - not to ignore it. Your input is key in helping us create music that is more than random accompaniment, music that is right for becoming an integral part of the story you want to tell. We offer you true collaboration in this regard, ensuring that viewers experience your work the way you meant it to be experienced.
