New, powerful tools in generative AI music have burst onto the scene. What does this mean for custom music houses and our broader creative industry? Our very own Kristoffer Roggemann penned a thought leadership piece on this subject for LBBonline - Little Black Book 👀

There’s a word unique to the Swedish language that we love - ‘largom’ (not too much, not too little, just the right amount). At Mophonics, we often think about how this translates to music.

For the launch of Rivian’s highly anticipated R2, we had the privilege of working with an all star team at AKQA who sent us an exciting musical challenge - how do we create a rousing and moving score that also avoids cliches and exercises restraint?

After countless studio hours in search of that balance, we think we’ve done Rivian (and the Swedes) proud.

The 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade reminds us that last June the Supreme Court stripped the ability for many people to control their own bodies. Now is the time to reimagine the future —a world with abortion rights and healthcare access for all. Let’s build it together ✊ visit BansOff.org.

We are so honored to add our talents to this meaningful collaboration with Brittany Davis and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America team.
