WE DON\'T BELIEVE IN STOCK MUSIC: Our goal is to work closely with our clients to craft a unique audio experience that deepens visceral and emotional connections. Every piece is a hands-on process to be tailored to the most effective fit for the given project. WE DON\'T BELIEVE IN BOUNDARIES: We utilize our decades of musical experience to write and produce across genres and styles. Organic, electronic, beat-oriented, ambient, string/ orchestral arranging, sound design for brand and industrial design, and more.we do it all. WE BELIEVE IN NEXT LEVEL QUALITY: Helio Sound is jam packed with world class gear. A far cry from the typical editing suite with a simple Pro Tools rig and consumer tools, we\'re working with topnotch Burl Mothership conversion/bus mixing, Dutch and Dutch monitoring, racks of handmade analog preamps and FX, an exotic array of vintage synths, guitars and amps, and a huge library of state-of-the-art digital plugins and instruments. Unique tools give you distinctive, hi-fidelity, impactful audio. WE BELIEVE STORY COMES FIRST: We strive for an elevated union of sound and visual experience where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Music and sound ultimately serve storytelling and we understand that collaboration is key.Visit: all inquiries reach out to us at: i•••@heliosound.co
