about

In 02008, Phil Spirito and the MVM attempted to create a Peak TV series backwards.
Soundtrack and foley are usually the last elements finalized in movie and TV.
We wondered, "What If you record the soundtrack and foley, if you create diagetic and nondiagetic sound for a TV series first? And then approach writers to realize the script they hear? Or directors to direct the series they hear? Or producers to realize the production they hear?"
We set out to create every sound element of a Peak TV series: ten episodes a season of contemporary storytelling.
Over the next three years we recorded two seasons worth of this unnamed show.
And then we started approaching writers, directors, and producers in Los Angeles and Chicago.
The people we met with were often intrigued, sometimes baffled, occasionally aghast, but universally unwilling to invest their time and energy into what is, admittedly, a quixotic project.
Since then we have recorded Season 03.
As we prepare to embark on recording Season 04, we are making these sounds available to the world.
If you listen to these tracks and hear a story, we invite you to use them to help you tell that story, to use them as the soundtrack and foley.
We do not consider these tracks finished and sacrosanct. If the story they tell you requires they be remixed, re-edited, or re-imagined, let us know, we know that no script is filmed without many rewrites. It would be odd if these sounds were to become a soundtrack without many remixes.
