01 Recording & Production

Each service is handled in-house — considered, precise, and led by what the recording needs rather than a house formula.

i

Post-Production

Dialogue edit, sound design, Foley and final mix — emotionally driven, balanced to guide attention across every scene.

ii

Documentary Audio

Location-aware editorial and mixing built for long-form storytelling, interviews and field recordings.

iii

Film Audio

Narrative sound from spotting to delivery — immersive, intentional, in service of the cut.

iv

Composition

Original music and scoring, written to the mood, movement and shape of a piece.

v

Sound Design

Designed sound and texture — from subtle ambience to the details that define a moment.

vi

Music Curation

Considered playlists and music programming for brand, retail, hospitality and screen — drawing on years of label and curatorial work.

02 Restoration & Archive

Bringing damaged, aged and difficult audio back to life.

A dedicated practice for rescuing and future-proofing sound — from deteriorated archival tape to interviews captured in less-than-ideal conditions. Analog warmth, digital precision.

i

Rebodying

A signature technique that restores depth, richness and intimacy to thin or distant recordings — making voices feel present and emotionally resonant.

ii

Spectral Editing

Surgical removal of clicks, pops, hums and digital glitches — isolating and cleaning audio without harming the surrounding signal.

iii

Dialogue Recovery

Recovering speech from damaged or deteriorated recordings — enhancing clarity while preserving the original character and context.

iv

Tone Matching

Blending dialogue, pickups and archival inserts into a single, natural, unified sound across an entire production.

03 Analog & Outboard
Digital precision, analog warmth — sound that runs through real machines, not just plugins.

Audio is tracked and processed through a hybrid signal chain — analog tape and outboard gear for natural saturation, character and depth, then modern digital tools for precise editing, recall and delivery.

Recording to tape is offered as a service in its own right — for artists and projects chasing the warmth, glue and feel that only analog captures.

04 The Studio
Built on a single discipline: listen closely, and let the source lead — every decision earned by ear, never imposed on the sound.

The work moves between three modes — recording sound at the source, recovering audio that's damaged, aged or hard to save, and delivering a finished master. Different rooms, one discipline. Behind it is a small network of artists, creatives, collaborators and friends.

No house sound stamped on top. The job is to serve what's actually there — the take, the voice, the source — and carry it across intact: atmospheric where it serves the story, restrained where it counts, detailed where it matters.
