On The Sly Audio Production

We recently teamed up with BBC Creative on the audio component for the corporation’s Made Of Here campaign — the BBC’s new celebration of the UK’s homegrown stories.

From the voices of Liverpool, Cornwall, Newcastle, Belfast, Glasgow, Cardiff and beyond, the trailer captures the people, places and communities that create the groundbreaking stories and programming that makes the BBC truly unique.

Because the stories we tell aren’t just made here — they’re made of here.

Mixed by Lewis Bilkey at ON THE SLY. Thanks to Kate Dinsdale, Steve & everyone at BBC Creative.

50 years. One legendary band.

Iron Maiden are back on the road with The Run For Your Lives World Tour – their most spectacular and elaborate show ever, blending cutting-edge technology with their signature classical heavy metal theatrics.

We were on the creative team alongside Partizan, helping support the band in bringing it all to life. Partizan handled the powerful visuals across a huge LED backdrop, and we looked after the audio – designing moments that build tension, shift energy, and set the scene before the band launch into one of their classic tracks.

No spoilers – but we can say we had a blast building a world that can only be experienced at a Maiden show.

This weekend, India take on New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy final.

On the eve of the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match, for DP World’s Champions’ Celebration at the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, we were tasked with designing a musical soundtrack for a spectacular drone show from skymagic, followed by a powerful fireworks finale by Flash Art.
We created the musical score to harness the excitement and drama of the event, enhancing the stunning animations with light and shade, tempo shifts, electronic and strings, with an emotional build ensuring the music carried the drama, energy, and celebration of the occasion.

Wishing both teams the best of luck this weekend!

The second show we were music directors on this New Year’s Eve took to the skies 4 hours before London in the UAE.
We created the soundtrack for Ras Al Khaimah’s record-breaking New Year’s Eve celebration 🎆 ✨

Working with Fireworks by Grucci and SKY MAGIC, we created an electronic and orchestral musical score to orchestrate an absolutely huge show of pyrotechnics and laser drones.

“Our Story in the Sky,” played out across three acts as we designed a musical score to tell the story and glue the pyro and drone animations together emotionally.

It was an incredible way to ring in the new year, and we’re proud to have been a part of it.

Hello 2025! On New Year’s Eve, London once again dazzled the world with Europe’s largest annual fireworks display, broadcast live on BBC One and YouTube.

Collaborating with Identity and an incredible team of creatives to create the show, we designed a soundtrack that reflected on 2024 and carried a message of hope into the new year. Every track told the story while creating the emotional springboard for the messaging and spectacular pyro, lighting and projections.

Working with the world-class agency, client and creative partners was once again a true highlight and after some severe storm warnings on the day, the show was executed spectacularly to create one of the most memorable London New Year’s Eve shows to date in which we’re proud to have played a key creative role.

Here’s to a hopeful and inspiring 2025!
