“When we first start a project, we look at many things including overall creative feel, interaction design, bandwidth/size and what new things we can do that we’ve never done before. Experimentation is a very important aspect of what we do, because we don’t think the sound is made perfect the first time around. We always ask ourselves, ‘How can we make it better?’ How can we push the boundaries of what has been done before?”
