Since launching in 2016, the first quarter of this year has been its busiest to date, securing commissions from BBC Creative for the 6Music Breakfast Show with Lauren Laverne to name a few.
Gary Hilton, Founder and MD of GAS™ Music said: “The challenge was ‘musically; who and what, would fit in a 30″ TVC’? Well, the team finally, after many, many edits, landed on New Order, Little Simz, David Bowie and Wet Leg.”
Other highlights from the year so far include composing and producing the soundtrack for the Winter Olympics, a trailer for Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and producing the Pringles ‘Mind Popping’ live event.
As well as composing music, producing sound design and executing audio post-production, GAS™ Music has a fully operational publishing arm that manages music rights on behalf of composers and artists.
Gary added: “We’re a small team who are passionate about what we do and we’re inspired on a daily basis by collaborating with our neighbours on these amazing projects. We’ve got an exciting year ahead with many more projects in the pipeline.”
