Earcom is a creative sound design, music, voice and interactive sound facility working across broadcast and interactive media.


Recent projects have included games, adverts, corporate videos, ring tones, film, radio and theatre.

Games

Recent titles include the top ten games Lego Batman and Pure (which scored an average of 85% in reviews). Guinness World Records: The Videogame was released mid-November and together with Pipe Mania, this brings the total of titles released within two months to four, covering Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, DS and PC.

On Batman and Pure we worked on the sound design whilst Pipe Mania has both our sound design and music.

Using our expertise in interactive music, we're creating an interactive generative music score for a very exciting new multiplayer online title, details have also yet to be publicly announced for this title.

Film & Video

We've recently completed work on the sound design for the film Book of Blood which is based on a Clive Barker short story. With a David Lynch-inspired sound world, this has shaped up to be one of our most creative projects yet.

We mixed Warner Breaks 2008 advertising campaign for Vanilla Films and acted as sound consultants on the currently-in-production film Orson and Me, directed by Richard Linklater.

Mobile

For Panini we've produced all of the audio for a whole new playing card and ringtone IP which is shortly to feature a major TV launch campaign. Covering punk to hip hop, classical to disco, it's a good example of our production range. For Future Acoustic, we've created several interactive generative music pieces for their new iPhone music application, which will hopefully see release before Christmas.

Radio

Our sister company, Perfectly Normal Productions had it's first drama broadcast in November with several more programmes announced, more details on its website.
