So happy to share the music and sound design we made for this short moodfilm by @blanco.void for @tutallerdesign ‘s new collection, Bru.
Inspired by Colombian Brutalism, the animation frames each piece as monumental architecture, while the textures ground the collection in the material identity of the brand.

We love blending music and sound design across all media forms.

We gathered together some of our most recent bespoke music and sound design projects into this short reel, grateful to all the talented individuals and creatives we’ve had the privilege to work with.

We research, we mess around, we replicate, we are happy to do it. đŸŸŖ

Later in 2023 I had a blast creating bespoke music and sound design for this @away 's redesigned polycarbonate suitcase range campaign with @dada.projects

A big thank you to Dada's team and Away đŸ§ŗđŸ‘Œ

Dump sound design 1 of x

Uno dei miei scarti preferiti, dove si butta?

One of my favorite scrapped demos, where do we toss it?

We often overlook how valuable scrapped demos can be. They reveal the path you could take. This one’s a favorite of mine, it ended up synced to an early-stage dump edit of The Pulse Within by Vallee Duhamel.

For the @on “Love, Ultra” campaign, @alessandrosimon invited us to craft a romantic, dreamlike soundtrack.
Inspired by artists like Mk.Gee, Andy Summers, Angelo Badalamenti (💜) we explored some 80’s and 90’s music timbres and we created a piece that feels both abstract and full of adventure. â›°ī¸

Stoked to share the sound design we made for Orion - Act 1 by Ash Thorp.
An original cinematic experience set in a mythic world shaped by memory, sacrifice, and silence.

Swipe to explore highlights from our sound design work:

1 An excerpt from the full film, featuring the original score by Aeph.
2 The sound of the spaceship, we actually started from a humpback whale call.
3 Armor closing up, we processed water and food to get this organic texture.
4 Backgrounds are rich with machinery and layered steam mechanisms.
5 Whose breath is that?

A huge thanks to Aeph and Ash Thorp for bringing us on board đŸ‘Ŋ

Super happy to have created the soundtrack for @bureauklausalman's reel 🏹
We aimed for something weird, unique and funny for them (and us).
Especially the final BKA vocal synthesizer signature🤖
