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.
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”.
client: Link 4
A delightful story about never giving up on your dream. We wrote a delightful country tune from scratch to help this story shine.
client: AIG
What happens when the New Zealand All Blacks descend on the streets of Tokyo? Our task was to write an original song that moves gracefully with this story. We wrote about 7 different songs before we settled on the winner.
client: Toyota
A mesmerising original score to a mesmerising film.
client: Qatar
We were asked to score a rousing anthem to celebrate National Day in Qatar. Our anthem was recorded by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra – under the discerning ear of master engineer Matt Howe (Air Studios, Metropolis).
client: NTT / Docomo
We handcrafted an original anthem for this Japanese X-Moment e-sports campaign for NTT / Docomo. The goal is always: goosebumps.
client: Match Black
An original composition for a quirky Japanese energy drink campaign.
client: Suntory
We composed and recorded a moving original score that accompanies this stunning ode to centuries of the finest tea craftsmanship.
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.
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.
client: Visa
Ballet, let me introduce you to some beats. Beats? Meet ballet. I think you two will get along. We wrote the original track, where beats meet ballet, to express the idea of new normal for Visa.
client: Toyota
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.
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”.
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.
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.
client: Heineken / MassiveMusic
During my time as the Creative Director at MassiveMusic Amsterdam, I helped to conceive and create this innovative musical experience for Heineken. The Takeover has been awarded Best B2C Event, Best Musical Event and Best Creativity and Innovation at the BEA Awards.
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.
As of today, the Polish and English versions of the film are reaching close to 4 million views on Youtube.
client: AIG
A beautiful and moving call to celebrate diversity featuring the legendary New Zealand All Blacks and Ferns. We were responsible for creating an original score, which was composed and recorded in Amsterdam featuring musicians from the renowned Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
client: UBS
UBS is the largest wealth management bank in the world. They commissioned MassiveMusic to create their very own sound identity, and as the creative director of MassiveMusic Amsterdam at the time, I was responsible for developing and delivering the final concept to the client. We handpicked three sublime chords and recorded them on the biggest piano in the world.
