Composing music and sound for spaces.
The power of space! Wait… what is space?
​
In the “Poetics of Space”, Gaston Bachelard discusses the idea of memory and its relationship to space. Often memories are associated with time. When people think of a memory, they relate it to the past or time stamp it with the age or date when it happened. However, when you recall memory, there are no visualizations for these quantifications of time. So, what are the signifiers of grandma’s house that are so fondly kept in our memory? Perhaps we see that old couch, its color, the way it's long pile upholstery felt on our cheek, the smell of the pillows when you laid down on them, or the sounds the springs made when you shifted your position. A space is an experience, the experience defined by its sensory nuances. We use our senses to investigate a space; in spaces that provide us with an enjoyable sensory experience, we dog ear those moments and revisit them as memories.
​
Sound: the acoustic happening that activates one of our predominant senses, hearing. Sound is an element we feel could be enhanced in spatial mapping. Our goal is not only to create sounds and compositions that fill a space and fulfill an integral role in the sensory experience of a space, but to go one step further by creating original compositions that interpret the spaces you love and enjoy so much. Imagine commissioning and owning a piece of music or collage of sounds that are inspired by the very space you call your temple, refuge, work space, home.
Customized music for film, web, and advertisements.
There is no question the role music/sound plays in a film, although film is widely accepted to be a visual medium. Follow us down a path of reason for one moment:
Imagine a time when you were viewing a film where the picture was fuzzy and lacked definition. Perhaps you were viewing an old restoration of a Fritz Lang or Harmony Korine film in which the deterioration of the image was part of the aesthetic. We tend to be more forgiving when the picture is not perfect. Now imagine watching a film where the music clashes with the mood or the words fail to match the lips of the character speaking. We would argue that the tolerance for less-than-perfect picture is higher than that of hindrance in music or sound.
​
With this said, we assure you of our attention to detail in creating a sound scape/score for your next film, commercial, or web page. Not only in the technical sense, but in mood and emotion as well.
