Music for
Television + Film

Signal Strength creates cutting edge music for film and television production companies, both large and small. From action movies through period drama to engaging documentaries, we can provide an effective score that brings out the best in your production and makes it greater than the sum of its parts. Whatever your budget, we'll work with you and within your budget to make your project a success.

Some examples of our past work...

Signs for Hope In 2010, TalkWorks commissioned a documentary on nuclear disarmament. Due to initial licensing complications over Brian Eno's score, they approached Signal Strength at very short notice. Our evocative soundtrack underscored the initially dark tensions of this disturbing issue and the ultimate triumph of hope and reason for the future. This clip shows excerpts by kind permission of Different Films and TalkWorks.
	HydroCarbon by Signal Strength A high octane soundtrack for a car racing simulation. This adrenalin-fuelled white-knuckle racing game called for a grungy feel which was supplied by electric guitar (with a touch of distortion) and powered by a throbbing analog bass-line and contemporary beat. (This is a demo soundtrack.)
	Ravine Racer by Signal Strength This 3D animation was commissioned for a speed-pod racing roller-coaster simulation. Signal Strength's high octane original music brings out both the knuckle biting excitement and pure grace of this awesome animation.

Whether it's underscoring a tender moment, maxing some fast-paced action or setting the scene to come, the right music at the right moment can make all the difference. Signal Strength balances sensitivity and empathy with raw creativity, experience and practicality to deliver that final polish to your production.
