Overview
About ON THE SLY
ON THE SLY is a creative studio specialising in music direction and experiential audio for live and immersive experiences. We work across large-scale events, ceremonies and spectaculars, as well as installations, environments and brand experiences.
We compose and produce original music, including large-scale orchestral and hybrid scores, develop musical narratives and design audio worlds that define the emotional and narrative backbone of an experience, from themed environments and immersive installations to global broadcast moments and public celebrations experienced by millions.
Our work spans intimate spatial environments through to large-scale public moments such as ceremonies, fireworks and drone shows. In every context, our focus is on storytelling, clarity and emotional impact.
We act as music and experiential audio directors, working from early creative development through to final production. Our multidisciplinary team brings structure, craft and musical leadership to complex projects, helping ideas translate clearly into live and spatial environments.
We collaborate closely with global experience agencies, producers and creative directors on projects across the UK, Europe, the GCC, Australia and the US.
Selected work includes:
• London’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks
• Formula 1 opening and closing ceremonies
• UEFA Europa League opening ceremonies
• Coachella headline drone show
• Immersive music creation for COP28
• Audio campaigns for the BBC’s biggest shows
• Sonic identity for leading media brands worldwide
