Earcom is a sound effects, music and voice production company that specialises in working across media including film, television, games, radio and mobile.


Film, Television and Radio:

For Vanilla Films, we composed the music and mixed the Warner Breaks  2007 television advert campaign, provided the music for the UK Film Council's soon to be launched disability awareness campaign and composed the music and mixed a short film for the Holocaust Educational Trust.

The film Stagknight is now complete following the sound mix at Shepperton Studios. It features a wide range of music, from dark orchestral through to glam rock and hip hop, read a review on the Variety website.

Scamp is Tiscali's (formerly Homechoice) award winning childrens channel, having scooped the Interactive Emmy Award 2006. We've composed stings and background music for Scamp's June update.

We recorded the voice-over, sound designed and mixed Butlin's 'Kid's Love It!' television ad campaign.

For BBC Radio 4, we provided live electronic studio effects and post-production effects for Dirk Gently's Detective Agency and the 2005 series of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Our sister company, Perfectly Normal Productions had its well reviewed debut on Radio 2 recently with Neither Here Nor There - A Celebration of Chic Murray, which we mixed and edited.

Games:

We've worked on over thirty games across many platforms. Recent titles include THQ's Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights, Eidos's Bionicle Heroes, Empire Interactive's Project Fashion and 2k's Ghost Rider. We've also worked on many mobile games such as Miami Vice, Free Yayo, 2 Fast 2 Furious - Tokyo Drift and can supply audio compatible across a wide range of handsets.

Work has just started on the music for an innovative MMO game for a San Francisco company and a PSP puzzle game.
