…but we hear you
Everyone gets in a pickle trying to talk about sound. How do you explain the delicate poetry of the wind in the trees? Not with mere mortal language.
When we talk to creators, we do away with soundly jargon and focus on what’s really important: the story. How does it feeel when we hear the rustling of the leaves?
We don't just make things sound good, we become an extension of your creative team.
Known for mingling disciplines with a focus on clear storytelling,
our magic is the knack (or, rather, hard-earned experience) of combining audio specialisations. Treating score, foley, sound effects, and song as interconnected elements, we create a single, cohesive storytelling force greater than the sum of its parts. A bit like when the Power Rangers join together to become Megazord.
Maybe it’s an emotion carried on waves of lush orchestral swells, or an atmosphere amplified through a well-tuned foley track. Maybe an idea is born when a car horn morphs into a sax riff…
A car horn morphs into a sax riff
…with a discipline agnostic approach, every beat, mood, and emotion finds its perfect voice.
Founded by Vincent and Tom,
we’re a team that understands stories. Before finding our true calling at Skillbard, we released music; directed music videos, brand spots, and tour visuals; and studied animation. Connect with Vincent and Tom for more.
With every project, we remember that sense of fresh discovery experienced as music-hungry teens. Allergic to the obvious; we learn something new every time, surprising ourselves before we surprise our audience. And that’s why we’re called Skillbard. Only joking, Skillbard’s just a surname.
