MAF 2019 Sting

For the 2019 Manchester Animation Festival (MAF), I composed the original music and created the sound design for the festival sting, bringing to life the vibrant animation created by Frida Ramirez of Brown Bag Films to celebrate the festival’s fifth edition.

Inspired by Manchester’s rich brass band heritage, the soundtrack places bold and expressive brass instruments at its heart, combining traditional influences with a contemporary, upbeat and energetic musical style. The aim was to create a joyful sense of celebration, full of character, excitement and movement, capturing both the spirit of Manchester and the creativity of animation.

Music and sound design work together to give the visuals personality, rhythm and that big sense of celebration... and with sound effects of that buzzing bee sound too, ofcourse :)
