2M1Our services

Every sound your picture needs.

Our services provide substantial savings when compared with our competition. None of the Top 10 Composers are able to compete, and we provide an indistinguishable experience. We are proud to have ghost-written for many of the industry's leading composers and to have scored many indie and not-for-profit projects.

Discuss your project

Film Scoring
Original music written specifically to accompany a film. This can be comprised of multiple genres along with orchestral arrangements.
Sound Design
An original sonic palette, uniquely created to accompany your art.
Consulting
Movies are a tough business, and it’s not getting any easier. Consumer habits are ever changing. Subscription video has disrupted the home entertainment world. VR and AR are around the corner. China is the source of all the growth recently. It’s enough to make any industry executive’s head spin. We have the answers.
Mixing Services
Our mix engineering team combines the different sonic elements of an auditory piece into a complete rendition — whether in music, film, or any other content of an auditory nature.
TV Shows
We provide all our services for not just movies. Great original music written specifically to accompany the project, comprised of multiple genres along with orchestral arrangements.
Video Games
We provide all our services for not just movies and TV. Great original music written specifically to accompany the project, comprised of multiple genres along with orchestral arrangements. Special one-of-a-kind SFX are crafted for each product.
Commercials & Trailers
Our efforts in this vertical are laser-focused. We bring home your message and create what we call a “psychology of auditory perception,” prompting a call to action.
Mastering
Our form of audio post production — the final frontier. Using a proprietary process, we achieve maximum volume while preserving the dynamic range. This is also where we add the final tweaks and polish to perfect the work.
Converting or Creating Sheet Music
We decided to leave you hanging without a definition on this one.

Watch video

When we get a free hour or two every couple of months, we like to show how our capabilities are better than the Hollywood guys and gals. We take industry trailers or snippets with dialogue ONLY and score them better than they were to begin with.
