We came up with the idea to record and include the rhythmic and buzzing sounds of a vibrator into our instrumentation palet, which led us to experiment with making a unique sample pack as a base, consisting of several thematic and textured sounds. The snapping of bra-straps became snares, hands-on-pants rubbing became shakers, and so on. The main themes enhanced the characters personalities, which allowed for the quirkyness of the series to shine even more.
The instrumentation helped push feelings of awkwardness, uncomfortableness, compassion, heartbreak and friendship. We made use of 80s Casio-like drumcomputers to emphasize the funny and clumsy scenes, while the Moog sub bass gave it that 'tough' character to balance it out. The many dreamy pads and plucky, harpy synths gave it the air ánd the sexy vibe, while the acoustic guitar formed a constant warmth throughout. To top it off, we used lots of short harmonic vocal stacking to give it its own young and fresh sounding identity. 'Only Friends' got its premiere at the Film Festival of Oostende 2024.

For the title song and score of this 6-episode podcast, we were instantly inspired by the dynamics, the suspense and the tempo of this mythical cycling story. We sampled the sound of a spinning wheel and incorporated it into the title song to build up the tension and switch gears within the music. The soundtrack throughout this series is thickened by mechanical-like soundscapes, heroic violins and cutting bass synths. It hugs the story at all the right times, and it was a true pleasure to work on.

PROXIMUS

Music + vocals: Reina Rasti
Music production, mix, master: Mathias Stal
For this Proximus film director Dirk Domen asked us to create the music before shooting the film. He wanted a tailor-made, up-tempo song that sounded like freedom and was percussion-driven.
To give dancers and entrepreneurs a chance to move as freely on set as they would choosing Proximus Business Flex.
Soooo, we made an eclectic cocktail of French electro-pop, Brit punk and funky guitars. Get on your dancing shoes.

Amazuìn is a swimwear contemporary swimwear brand, designed for dynamic and empowered women. This beautiful ad, inspired by Mediterranean nature, focuses on vulnerability, beauty and freedom. We felt like the ad could use a fragile, yet warm approach and so incorporated those characteristics in an American-English voice-over.

ANIMATION
HOME
production company: ritcs school of arts
client: laura van parys
​
Music score: Lisa Van Melkebeke & Reina Rasti
Music production + sound design: Lisa Van Melkebeke
Voice acting: Reina Rasti
Mix + master: Mathias Stal
This enchanting animation film by Laura Van Parys needed sound design and music, so we got to work. We stayed very true to Laura’s wishes by keeping the score warm, colourful and slightly medieval. The main theme takes on different shapes throughout the story to emphasise the spectrum of emotions the two protagonists go through. For the sound design we used lots of organic, forest-like sounds. The voice acting had to be very expressive since there were no lines to be spoken. Dive into the world of this little cyclops who decides to face her fears the way we all should: by throwing turnips.

TREE OF TRUST

​
The social security system of Belgium is a safety net for many people. For its 70th anniversary we made the soundtrack for this beautiful campaign shot on 16mm film. To capture the feeling of diversity, unity and solidarity we created a 1 minute soundtrack with hints of Icelandic dream pop, warm trip hop and ethereal vocals. Together with the deep and husky voice of Koen De Graeve the story really comes to life.

Funk is back from never leaving. Curtis Mayfield knew it, Mark Ronson knows it. So for this Campina film we tapped into our funky playlists to get inspired, since they wanted happy, upbeat funk goodness. Forget the aha-erlebnis, here it’s all about experiencing the ‘aaaaahs’.

A sweet song straight from a music box. That’s what we wrote for the Afvalhalers campaign to honour the people who get their hands dirty to keep our neighbourhoods clean. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
The fragile lyrics accompany the message and sentiment quite clearly. As does the vocal performance.
