RENAULT RAFALE - HELENE BOUCHER

New Work - Sound Design
In 1934, Helene Boucher flew a Caudron-Renault 450 Rafale, setting speed and altitude records. Her achievements not only pushed the boundaries of aviation during the Golden Era of flight, but also helped to challenge opinions and open doors for women in aviation. Less than a year later, this inspiring and intrepid young French aviator tragically died in a crash during a test flight in France, aged only 26 years old.

We’re proud to have created the Sound Design for this beautifully crafted film, directed by Dan DiFelice.

Part of the brief for sound design was to make this legendary Caudron aircraft sound like a wild animal, as well as the literal and mechanical elements of a powerful, vintage, diesel machine, and it was a challenge! but so inspiring and fun to explore and create. The end result was a multi-layered organic-roaring-piston-pumping beast and something a little unexpected! … So turn the volume up to eleven (that’s one-more louder than ten) and check out the film on the link below …

THE WHEEL OF TIME - Amazon Prime - November 19th

The new Amazon Prime Video original series ‘THE WHEEL OF TIME’ goes live on November 19th…

we’re so happy to finally be able to share this, and our small part in helping to bring this epic and ambitious fantasy series adaptation into being!

We worked with the supremely talented director, Dan DiFelice, and the genuinely awesome creative team at MPC Episodic on the ‘ORIGINS’ episodes that accompany the main series. The Origins series delve deeper into the expansive mythology, backstories and characters of The Wheel Of Time books by ROBERT JORDAN

Jon at 1-LOUDER created the sound design for all ORIGINS episodes, (with more episodes to come in 2022) working closely with Defilice, and composer - Luke Atencio. The brief required a uniquely bespoke and creative approach to score and sound. Score and sound had to blend seamlessly, in fact we wanted there to be a deliberate blur as to what was sound design and what was score…

The vision from our director was to develop a dynamic and textural sonic design and an organic and emotionally-charged musical score that would support the deeply atmospheric, emotive and visceral narrative of the ORIGIN stories…

SYKES HOLIDAY COTTAGES - NEW 2020 UK TV & RADIO CAMPAIGN

Screenshot 2020-12-16 at 14.43.47 - 2.jpg

We all need to get away for some quality R&R. So when we were asked to compose bespoke music for the 2020 UK national TV and Radio campaign for Sykes Holiday Cottages, we all tried to relax as much as possible on the couch at the back of the studio and watched our very own Glyn Owen do all the hard work…

Glyn crafted a simple but immersive piece for this campaign, with beautifully layered organic strings and orchestral textures and subtle builds that fitted the creative brief perfectly. Sykes loved it, and we are very excited (but still relaxed) about the end result. Thanks to our good buddy Gavin Davies at music agency Kaleidatone Worldwide for his excellent music supervision and for inviting us on the trip. 😉

"More than a story of redemption, The Cage is a story of survival. When Philly’s streets look to bring one young man down and entangle him with violence, anger, and death, it’s purely up to him to find a way to break free. While the only escape may seem to come from the basketball court, make no mistake... this is no game."
