To celebrate International Women’s Month – we were asked to compose an original score for this short film by Vans – following the inspiring story of remarkable Japanese female skateboarders – Cocona Hiraki & Mami Tezuka.

Power of Dreams

client: Honda

We love this film because it is a truth told beautifully. Proof that brand films should not be about brands but about people. Directed by Japan’s Hisashi Eto – we had the pleasure of working on an original song that moves gracefully with the film and supplies the emotional charge to the story. As one Youtube commenter put it: “it hits you right in the feels”.

We were asked to create an original song and sound design that blurs the line between dream and reality for the directors cut of this campaign for Porsche.

Museum of Wonky English

Brand new campaign for Duo Lingo that explores the tragi-comedy of translations gone wrong. We were asked to write a quirky little jazz tune – something you could “crap your hands” too. 

Ice In Our Veins

client: Canadian Olympic Team

Ice in Our Veins is the Canadian Olympic Team presented as never before. Shot by the legendary Mark Zibert, this film is a compelling example of how original music, sound design and moving picture should dance together to create goosebumps. Our work was to make sure that they do just that.

We composed and recorded a moving original score that accompanies this stunning ode to centuries of the finest tea craftsmanship.

Philips

client: Philips & MassiveMusic

During my time as a Creative Director at MassiveMusic, I was responsible for developing a unique sound identity for Philips. Our aim was to think beyond a sound logo. We decided to develop a playable instrument that could create not only a sound logo, but entire scores or songs. The sound of this instrument would not only be diverse and distinct, but distinctly Philips. Because the sound of this instrument was made by sampling the product that started it all for Philips: the lightbulb.

Mitsubishi / Reach Higher

client: Juice / Mitsubishi

We produced this original score for the Director’s Cut version of a film for the new, stunning Mitsubishi Egelberg Tourer. Directed by Michal Misinski from Juice films.

A short film announcing the Universal Street Games in Japan. We handpicked the talented Tony Ofori to make the script come alive with his incredible voice, and crafted a head nodding urban anthem to bring the film to life.

Roar – 2018 Winter Olympics

client: CBC

A short and impactful piece promoting the 2018 Winter Olympics. We found a rare gem in the voice of young actor and rapper Tony Ofori. Then we spent long hours crafting the sound design. Then we spent more long hours playing with the timing of sounds and syllables. The result is a compelling sequence of sight and sound – an ode to “roar”.

Dutch National Opera

client: Dutch National Opera

You Don’t Know Opera is a campaign conceived for the National Dutch Opera by Anomaly Amsterdam. As a part of this campaign, the award winning film director – Ruben Van Leer – shot a film about one of the opera’s tenors – who also happens to be a boxer. We remixed Benjamin Britton’s piece and crafted the sound design – and most importantly – choreographed them to dance together in a seamless, hypnotic build.

The Day

client: Sony

This is a short film promoting the Shibuya City Games in Tokyo. But the film is really about one man’s quest to beat the world record. We came up with the original score, featuring Amsterdam’s very talented Merel Jonge on violin.

The Unconquered feat. Sean Bean

client: IPN

Narrated by Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings) this animated film documents 50 years of Polish struggle in 20th century. We were responsible for the original score and making sure that the narrator, the sound design and the music move together gracefully to deliver goosebumps.
