Multimedia and composition

Music written to picture — and therefore measured in frames rather than bars.

How this differs from writing a song

A song ends when it ends. Music for picture ends when the edit needs it to — often mid-phrase. That changes the whole method: timing and hit points are agreed first, notes come second.

We work against your edit from the first screening. When the edit changes — and it will — the score is built so that this does not mean writing it again.

Three directions

Film scoring

Spotting sessions, themes, orchestral and hybrid scores, recording.

Game audio

Adaptive music, vertical and horizontal layering, engine integration.

Audio branding

Sonic signatures, advertising beds, interface sound.
