About
_
We are Makewaves audio – an all things audio studio in Stockholm, Sweden. We are a tight-knit team of audio creatives brought together in 2019 by a shared passion for innovative audio and the experience held therein. With a collaborative mindset we service our clients with original bespoke music and sound design with a flair for the cinematic and they seek our consultancy to elevate and add value to their project or brand.
Our team has worked over two decades in the industry creating audio for global brands such as Volvo, Reebok, Samsung, Trek, Head, Gucci, Porsche, Sky, Viasat, Ubisoft, Niantic, Lego, Securitas, Nvidia, Adidas to name a few.
We are engaged by our clients for our innovative approach and our commitment to sonic excellence. We are passionate about the creative process and we know how to accurately translate ideas into audio. Our commissions range from broadcast promos, trailers, adverts, title-sequences and show-closers as well as all brand related content and sonic identities, and we are regularly engaged for our services by the games industry. The process of fulfilling our client’s audio needs is one of collaboration and understanding.
For as long as man has walked the earth, sounds have been an important aspect of communication and storytelling and it's an intrinsic part of our DNA to make noise. To us, audio lends weight and emotion to content and not only complements, but completes the narrative. Regardless of the medium, we always embark on the creative process with an ambition to convey, sonically, the emotional intention of the brand narrative presented to us. Our goal is to retain curiosity in our approach and our ever-evolving attitude towards audio as a creative means of communication and storytelling.
We draw from this extensive experience while keeping a contemporary edge through research and involvement in our fields and we take great pride in our team’s skill set, versatility and in our ability to cater for the entire audio process from consultancy, original bespoke music, sound design, voice over recording and production as well as final mix and mastering / post production.
–Together, let's make waves!
