Music and Sound Design for ONS Commercial
Last month I created the music and sound design for a commercial by Crooked Line. It’s an infographics video with the great artwork and style that we know from crookedline. Crooked Line was asked to create a video explaining the new tax collection and tax management system used by the municipality of the city of Rotterdam.

While discussing online game audio with a good friend and fellow sound designer I googled around and found some very interesting games made completely in HTML5.

THX is a trade name of a high-fidelity audio/visual reproduction standard introduced by George Lucas. And it has some nifty sound logo’s. THX 1138 was the first film Lucas made and he was one of the first to treat audio as 50% of the film.
