Few things evoke emotion or cement a memory the way sound can. We’ve applied that magic across multiple platforms: as sound brands; in scores, for film, radio, and interactive pieces; and as fully-produced programming for radio and podcast. Turn up your speakers, and take a listen.

To help this "association of associations" tell its story, we composed three sound brands to set the tone and establish the mood for the audio pieces they introduce.

Techno savvy? Check. Hip vibe? Check. Fast-paced? Check. Sprint Ion Xtreme? All of those things. We designed the sound brand to match.

If you’re going to present an interview with the international president of the largest fraternity in the world, you don’t introduce it with studio hiss. You introduce it with this.

Short, distinct, and an immediate indicator that you’re about to listen to the premier guitar podcast on the web.

Desinging the Story, our podcast network, is a little bit of everything, and open to anything. The show opening we composed captures that feel.

When a film’s focus is malnutrition in Haiti, finding the sound to match the gravitas of the subject matter is critical. This score helped elevate the piece from poignant to powerful.

For documentary pieces about an acute care hospital, we composed a score that conveyed trust, comfort, and compassion.

We’ll be honest with you – we think Scott Smith is pretty much the coolest photographer around. We composed the theme for his photo reel accordingly.

Like Michael Eastman’s photography, this theme is ethereal, richly layered, and subtly enticing.

Christina Shmigel’s story required more than exploring her sculpture and spending time with her in the studio—it needed this soundtrack, which conveys the passion, longing, and loss of her work.

Hot Local Music's ambitions are modest—to change the face of the music industry by dramatically shifting the conventional A&R paradigm. And if you're going to upend the music establishment, you better have a killer soundtrack. We gave it to them.

Return with us to the 80s, when Dig Dug, Donkey Kong and Ms. Pac Man ruled the arcades. The game play may recall Frogger, but the soundtrack is what really takes you back.

What inspires 5,000 pilgrims to descend on St. Louis every year? It’s that sweet sound of the steel guitar. Here’s the story, as heard on St. Louis’ NPR affiliate, KWMU.

Arts institutes are always looking for innovative ways to help raise funds to support their programs. For New Urban Arts, an arts mentoring program for high school students in Providence, Rhode Island, audio became the fundraising vehicle. We edited audio, recorded by students interviewing each other, into a 40-minute audio documentary that told the story of growing up in Providence, and dealing with the issues of sex, identity, parents, creativity and other challenges teenagers face.

Podcasts are audio and video programs downloadable on demand. act3 jumped into the podcasting game way back in its early days (2005), and has produced a number of pieces that show how well podcasting works as a storytelling medium.
