📺⚡️🇮🇪 NEW WORK - RTÉ 100 “The Signal” It’s been a delight working once again with @rteone and the fantastic creative team at @piranhabar_insta on music, sound design and mix for this special film, celebrating the first centenary of Irish public broadcasting. Mining the wealth of RTÉ’s archival material from the last 100 years, we crafted this collage of sound - spanning a century of communication, connection and change. This project was a wonderful opportunity for us to explore the nation’s modern history and we’re proud to share it! Many thanks for the creative inspiration and guidance of Piranha Bar and RTÉ.

🍌 🐸 🎮 NEW WORK - VRChat Very pleased to finally share one of our most bananas soundscapes to date, for the surreal world of @vrchat ! This gorgeous animated film directed by Cora McKenna and produced by Studio Meala announces the release of VRChat for mobile, and we were delighted to create music, sound design and final mix for it. In a rare dive into the virtual world, we visited VRChat rooms to get a sense of the vibrant & chaotic communities within, gathering a unique insight which helped to inform our soundscape. We also had the opportunity to source some tasteful guitar shredding courtesy of Nathan Campion! We’re always delighted to work with the crew at Meala, and we’re very fond of this piece.

⚠️ ⚠️ THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO STATUS YELLOW WEATHER WARNINGS IN PLACE IN THE DUBLIN AREA ‼️ ‼️ 💥💥 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 💥💥 Ever notice the impact sound design has on a film, bringing drama or suspense or heightening emotion? Or how the perfect music track can transform a TV commercial? So often we don’t appreciate the true power that brilliant sound design & composition has on the content we’re consuming every day. Well, this month’s speaker certainly knows a thing or two about this topic! We are incredibly excited to welcome our first speaker of the year, @mark_bergin_ , to join us next Friday January 30th for an insightful look into the craft of sound design and composition. Mark Bergin is a composer and sound designer creating original music and sound for commercials, short films, and a wide range of creative projects. Based at @folding.waves in Dublin, his commercial work includes campaigns for Tayto, Just Eat, RTÉ, Threshold Housing Charity, and Childline. Alongside advertising, Mark has scored several short films through the National Talent Academy Short Film scheme and regularly collaborates on independent projects across film, music, and the arts. Deeply engaged with Ireland’s creative scene, Mark frequently performs live with friends and collaborators and is always seeking out meaningful, creatively driven partnerships. Mark will delve into his creative process and how sound influences storytelling and atmosphere, with examples from recent projects and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Not to be missed!! Tickets are FREE but limited! Available from Monday through the link in our bio 🎟️ Credits: Tayto Christmas: Score by Mark Bergin. Sound design & mix by @folding.waves Cornados: Score by Mark Bergin.
