SST Workshop

We are shaping up for one of our coolest collaborations as part of this month’s upcoming QSOCurrent Festival in Brisbane, Australia. SST Workshop, along with Brisbane -based visual artist Jaymis Loveday, are teaming up with Melbourne musician Tim Shiel and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra for a cinematic reworking of Tim’s soundtrack to the acclaimed iOS game DUET. Featuring (obviously) an orchestra, live electronics, orchestral manipulation and visuals based on DUET’s classy minimal aesthetic – this is one laptop crash away from a thrilling disaster.

Here’s a sneak peek of how it’s sounding and here Tim talk more about the show (and DUET) here. Tickets via QSO Website.

The team at SST were recently privileged to work on the soundtrack to the upcoming feature documentary “A War of Hope”, with SST Workshop providing almost an hour of original music. “A War of Hope” tells the story of the forced removal, exile and eventual return of the Hopevale indigenous community to their homeland in North Queensland. Told through the stories and memories of elders Roy McIvor (picured), Herbert Mclean and George Rosendale, “A War of Hope” recounts a dark chapter of Australian history that remains largely unknown. Premiering Anzac Day, April 25 on NITV. Check out the trailer here and a preview of some of the soundtrack here.

Great news this week with SST Workshop nominated for an APRA award for his score to Tourism & Events Queensland’s “Where Australia Shines” campaign. This is our second nomination in two years having been recognised last year in the “Best Music for a Documentary” category for the original score to the ABC-TV documentary “Polly Borland – Polymorphous”.

SST is excited to announce a new sound and mix suite located in inner-city Brisbane. Located just off the city end of the Gray St. Bridge we are now able to offer progress and presentation screenings to local clients in a central location. Come have a coffee (and play X-Box).

SST were recently asked to reprise our role in creating a custom suite of of music for AirAsia to use internationally. Based on our original brand TVCs (shot by director Israel Rivera), we were asked to take a piece of music that was ethereal and atmospheric and turn into into something a little more “retail” for use across a number of media. Check out the new spots here. (via Publicis Mojo Brisbane)
