Sound Built
With Intent
An overview of the disciplines, formats, and types of work we engineer at Cleftwave. Every output defined by specification, not trend.
Controlled Vocal Capture & Processing
Vocal sessions are engineered environments. Mic selection, pre-amp choice, and room treatment calibrated to the voice and the intended final sound.
We work with artists, writers, spoken word performers, and voice-over professionals. Every vocal is tracked with headroom preserved, consonants managed, and proximity effect controlled.
Post-capture vocal processing is available as a separate deliverable: tuning, timing, de-essing, and final vocal chain processing to mix-ready state.
From Session to Delivered Record
Artist production at Cleftwave covers the full arc — from initial concept and arrangement, through tracked sessions, to a mix-ready or fully mixed and mastered deliverable.
We work across genres and formats. Electronic, acoustic, hybrid. Singles, EPs, and album-length projects. The common thread: methodical process, honest communication, and a technically defined output.
We don't force creative direction. We engineer the technical environment for the artist's intention to be realised with maximum clarity.
Systematic Sound for Brands
Audio identity is the designed relationship between an entity and its sonic presence. A logo has a visual form. A brand has a sound.
We design and engineer audio identity systems: composed, documented, and delivered in all required formats. Audio logos, sting mnemonics, UI interaction sounds, hold music, and ambient brand environments.
The output is a system — not a single asset. Scalable, consistent, and governed by a written sonic brief that can be applied across future productions.
Bespoke Audio for Specific Applications
Not all audio fits a standard service format. We work on commissions where the brief defines the format — not the other way around.
Film & Sync
Score, sound design, and audio post-production for film, short form, and documentary. Delivered to picture-locked specifications.
Interactive & Games
Adaptive audio, sound effects libraries, and interactive audio systems. Designed for real-time implementation in Wwise, FMOD, and native engines.
Podcast & Spoken Word
End-to-end podcast production: recording, editing, music beds, and final episode mastering to platform loudness specifications.
Commercial & Advertising
Audio production and sound design for advertising and commercial media. Crafted to brief, delivered in broadcast-ready format.
Installation & Spatial Audio
Spatial audio design for installations, exhibitions, and immersive environments. Binaural, Ambisonics, and multichannel formats.
Custom Commissions
Have a brief that doesn't fit a category? Bring it. We assess every project on its technical requirements and feasibility.
