Strengths and Values
CRAFTING MUSICAL IDENTITIES
Musical storytelling has always been our greatest strength. It has been proven and further enhanced by our many achievements not only in film scoring, but also in musical theatre, stage performance, animation series, TV commercials, and just about anything that involves a story. Capturing emotions in dialogues, movements in visuals, and dynamics in plots and translating them into perceivable musical elements are what composers fundamentally do. But, our true strength lies in our ability to capture what can be seen on screen and what is in the filmmakers' minds through our relentless pursuit of understanding the filmmakers' unique values and our tireless efforts in crafting musical identities for them.
ACHIEVING MORE WITH LESS
Optimizing output without compromising quality with minimal resources is the most sought-after advantage in current times. Our two decades of involvement in every corner of the music industry, including varied interdisciplinary ventures, have given us a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and various creative production workflows within the entire creative sector. These include the skill sets to operate independently from wall to wall covering every aspect of music and sound productions, the awareness of all external influences that potentially affect the outcome, and the ability to identify and prioritize elements that will lead to the desired results.
FORWARD-MOVING MINDSET
To constantly move forward may not be good enough, and to reach the next level, one must know where to move to and why. Our comprehensive understanding that inclusive of what has, is, and will happen to the music industry, giving us the advantage to keep advancing in the right direction, breaking new grounds, and looking for new sounds, but at the same time remain anchored and relevant to the current world. Music has more potential than we could imagine. And that is why we are constantly venturing beyond the perspective of entertainment to broaden the boundaries of music in order to make it beneficial to more aspects of life.
