Music is often the difference between a joke landing… or not.

We handled music supervision and licensing on the Uber Boda “Pastor” campaign. A great example of how the right track can make the whole idea click.

It’s something we spend a lot of time on: finding music that doesn’t just sit under a film, but actually helps carry the idea.

Big shoutout to the team who brought it all together. Proud to have been part of it 🙌

Grateful to have played a small part in the process.

Proud moment for the Sonar Studios team. We recently wrapped an international recording session for the upcoming Game of Thrones game, recording Jeremy Crutchley while he was briefly in Cape Town and linking live with the client team abroad.

This is exactly the kind of work we’ve built Sonar Studios for. Fast turnarounds, seamless remote sessions, and broadcast-quality audio for global entertainment IP and major international brands.

🚨 Exciting news! 🚨

We had the absolute privilege of working on Gonzo Girl, directed by the incredible Patricia Arquette. A true career highlight was spending days in the studio with Patricia and the legendary Willem Dafoe—diving deep into the raw process of creativity.

Nothing beats having the time to experiment, be present, and explore what unfolds organically. It’s in those moments that the magic happens. ✨

The trailer hasn't been released yet but here's video of Willem talking about working with Patricia on the film.

New work for GRID Worldwide & FNB 🇿🇦

We were briefed to compose a beautiful and emotive track that starts off with a slightly uneasy feeling and then evolves into being optimistic. The heartbeat provides the rhythmical backbone to the composition, and we had the idea to use a piano note in the key of the song as a musical device to mimic the sound of a heart rate monitor, which ties the music to the concept intrinsically.

Grid provides some context to the campaign as a whole: 'As part of FNB’s Invest and Insure extension, we created a compelling campaign to demonstrate the anxiety that comes with not having your financial matters under control, especially when it comes to planning for your family’s future – a human truth that affects us all. Our content series serves to inspire people to take control of their finances and feel empowered with FNB’s innovative offerings.'"
