admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:01:24 +0000

We were delighted to be asked to mix the triumphant Suede show from the Royal Albert Hall in glorious 5.1 Surround sound. We worked closely with the band and director Matt Askem to make sure the gig sounded as good as it looked. We mastered at Metropolis in London and can confirm that it sounds massive.

FIFA 12 Hard Contact Trailer : Xbox 360 / PS3 Game

admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:55:12 +0000

We are thrilled to announce that our track ‘Pass The Time’ is being used to promote the highly anticipated FIFA 12 game on Xbox 360 and PS3 from publisher EA Sports. The game was unveiled in style at this years E3 Games conference, to a fantastic response, soundtracked by our music. We’re proud to be associated with yet another fantastic and innovative game.

Here’s what IGN say:

“A few years back, EA completely reinvented football (soccer for Yanks) with full 360 degree movement. FIFA 12 has just as significant an improvement, offering great player control and some excellent new gameplay additions. Seriously, once you play FIFA 12, it’s impossible to go back to FIFA 11.

There are four major improvements to FIFA’s gameplay: Redefined control, new physics engine, better defending, and player-specific AI. EA gave me its spiel, which sounded good, but then I got a chance to play a match in FIFA 12. It’s not boastful on EA’s part — FIFA 12 is an incredible improvement over FIFA 11. ”

We have recently been recording some amazing new orchestral pieces at London’s world famous Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Studio 1. We relished the opportunity to work with such a well respected orchestra on a fantastic set of hybrid orchestral/electronic tracks for use in Film, TV and Trailers.

All songs were composed by Gareth Johnson and feature the RPO backed up with huge beats and storming electronic accompaniment. The songs are currently being mixed at our West London HQ and will be available for license via our partners at Audio Network shortly.

The sessions were great fun and we will be sharing the results with all of you very soon. Until then here is a taster of what you can expect to come when we’ve finished mixing these jaw dropping tracks
