In this heartfelt documentary, a young couple and their baby flee violence in Honduras only to find themselves caught in the complex web of the United States' immigration system.

We felt really connected with the movie's purpose. The combination of piano, synths and traditional Latin American instruments like guitar and ronroco was crucial in narrating this story. Collaboration and friendship were the most important parts of this project — creating this original music meant a constant, deep dialogue with the editing team.

When we first saw an early cut of Una Persona Distinta and heard about the story — the journey from being a son to becoming a father — we immediately knew we wanted to be part of it.

What struck us most was his editing with the Argentinian National Archive: beautifully, he resignifies not only his family's past but also that of mid-20th century Buenos Aires, inseparably linked.

During the process, director Sergio Quatraro shared a scene from the Coen brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There, and we realized that a 3/4 pulse made the montage dance and unified the sequence.

After weeks of writing, this score was recorded between Berlín and Buenos Aires by world-class musicians.

We decided to blend Latin American sounds with intricate African polyrhythms, two of our favorites. Layer upon layer of vocals combined with Djembes, Atoke, Sagban, Kenkeni, and Dun Dun drums to create this powerful piece.

This spot was shot in Peru's Sacred Valley to support the Sol y Luna foundation campaign by Alexis Torazza Gazzone, an extraordinary artist always diving into projects to aid the most vulnerable.

The music was composed before being paired with visuals, affirming once again how film and music are constantly feeding off each other.

The starting point for this project was the monumental landscape of the Pampas, in the Province of Buenos Aires. They evoked this austere solo guitar, with plenty of silences that surfaced the voice in the images themselves.

This inspiration led to long improvisation sessions, including bursts of spontaneous recording. The freshness of the process is reflected in the main musical themes that emerged from these sessions. These themes were enhanced with variations in tonality and orchestration: Indian Shrutis and Leguero drums were added, among other elements. Each time they are foregrounded, they shape the structure of this soundtrack.

Tatá Yawanawá is one of the oldest shamans of the Amazon. At 103, he carries the responsibility of safeguarding his tribe's spiritual legacy through the harsh years of colonization.

The film follows Tatá's final days — a historic and challenging moment for the tribe, facing both the loss of their beloved teacher and the potential disappearance of their great temple of knowledge.

In his last days, Tatá shares his teachings from his deathbed, hoping to ensure the transmission of his wisdom to the next generation.

At the request of the experienced director James Whitney, the music became an ancestral and contemporary ceremony, connecting with the ritual depth and origins of this land.

A film shot with the beauty and restraint of the best indie cinema. The cinematography and the performances carry so much on their own that our job was mostly about listening — finding where music belonged and where silence was already doing the work.

We recorded with extraordinary musicians, among them Lucas Argomedo and Manuel Rodríguez Riva, and drew a lot of inspiration from Past Lives. It is always refreshing to work on material built with this much heart. The film premieres in 2026.

We composed a string quartet for this dark fashion film. We wanted to express the delicate balance of madness and elegance of the character.

It was a great experience to bring the scores to the recording studio and work with such amazing performers.

Love Language was a collaboration with Habibi, an app from San Francisco, filmed, dreamed up, and edited in Los Angeles.

For the score, we leaned into indie pop, blending the melancholy and texture of Radiohead with the Latin American rock songs that live in our collective subconscious.

The structure of the song follows the structure of the edit: verses, builds, and releases timed to the cuts of the film, so the music isn't just underneath the images but moving with them.

This project has everything that makes us happy: collaborating with friends and a story deeply rooted in our region — a tribe in the Amazon striving to reforest their home, honoring a sacred bond with the araucaria, and resisting a destructive model.

The music grew from extensive experimentation with classical guitar, layered to reflect the depth and resonance of the jungle imagery. We also incorporated synthesizers and natural sounds, creating a soundscape that resonates with the environment and the story itself, evoking echoes of Heitor Villa-Lobos.

An awkward encounter between relatives turns cruel when one of the parties asks for help. The conditions of a loan between them show human nature at its purest and rise higher than it seems at first glance.

This project, austere in its language, is built on a single note, repeated through shifting timbres. By limiting pitch, we explored timbre as the main expressive field.

We worked exclusively with the Mellotron, whose sound hovers between the organic and the synthetic, an instrument iconic since the 1960s and rooted in collective memory. With fewer materials, the focus turned to detail: subtle variations in note length and attack, minimal volume and EQ automation, slight deviations from the grid that resist a fixed tempo.

The result is a seemingly static surface animated by inner micro-dynamics — a landscape where monotony dissolves into constant, delicate motion.

We created the score for the profile of Víctor Zambrano, an official National Geographic explorer. The beautiful and striking images of his reforested land in Peruvian Amazonas invited us to compose a hopeful yet challenging piece, with the intention to make visible his amazing work and raise awareness about the environmental crisis we are going through.

Shot across the vast salt desert of Fiambalá, this ambitious series follows a group stranded on the white planet Sandoz, forced to cross its blinding wastes to reach safety while evading creatures that hunt by sensing fear, pain and joy. At its center: the silence between Ela and Jim, haunted by their daughter Kin's failed procedure and her newfound inability to feel.

Scoring a production of this scale, with such a striking ensemble cast, was a monumental undertaking. We built the sound world around a collision of electronic futurism and Argentine roots, letting synthetic textures and native instrumentation pull against each other the way the story pulls between the human and the alien.

The series streams internationally on Prime Video across fifteen countries, and on Apple TV+ and YouTube TV in Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Inspired by György Ligeti and Stanley Kubrick, we created a tense soundscape, where synthesizers and string effects organically interact with the rich sound design of director and sound engineer Andrés Polonsky.

A selection of our work in the high-end industry, showing our sound design, foley and final mix.

For many years, this ambitious project remained an open question. We explored several proposals for the musical palette, yet we reached an answer when we saw "Death for five voices" by Werner Herzog.

Herzog's work inspired this grandiose, filthy, religious and transgressive piece. It immerses its listeners in synthetic oceans with nods to Charly García. A choir of men in a traditionally-female register and women in a traditionally-masculine register shares the stage with distorted punk bass lines, ambiented in an immense and unreal cathedral. And at times, a polyphonic, sacred organ sets the beat for the protagonist's poetic improvisations.

In 2019 part of the team travelled to Sierra Leone to make a three-chapter documentary about their unique story of reconciliation, after suffering one of the most violent Civil Wars of humanity. In addition, we were able to travel all along the country sharing with many communities, and learning about the admirable values they have.

This documentary includes stories about children who, despite being ripped apart from their families and homes, are nowadays social leaders of their communities; the self-sustainability of rural villages and the reconciliation of an ex-child soldier with his rebel captor, who now live peacefully in the same town.

Biomes Connections is a non-profit organization that has been working for decades to conserve and regenerate essential lands, forests, waters, and ecosystems in the Americas and Europe.

They are inspired by a common purpose: to restore the relationship between humanity and nature. They create and design botanical gardens for the 21st century, where biodiversity coexists with local communities, traditional knowledge, and the most innovative technologies. They seek new forms of sustainable development to boost local economies and the well-being of future generations.

They are all key players. Making a positive impact begins with a small gesture: observing and learning from the environment, fostering genuine communication, sharing educational resources, and creating equitable connections. Every action counts: plant a seed in your community, your company, your school, your family and friends.

A corporate video for Thales, produced across a collaboration spanning France and Indonesia. Estudio Manos built the score and sound design around mickey mousing, tying every gesture and cut on screen to a matching musical hit.

Working at the scale of a company like Thales was a challenge the studio loved rising to.

Elegimos Democracia is a piece celebrating 40 years of democracy in Argentina, inviting citizens to vote and honoring national customs and rituals.

Estudio Manos drew on its knowledge and love of Argentine folklore to score the film, giving the celebration its own musical voice.

Editorial Santillana commissioned this animated short for young readers, produced by Noto Films. Estudio Manos handled the complete sound design and original score.

The project was a chance to channel the studio's long-standing admiration for Pixar's approach to sound and storytelling, building a soundscape that gives the animation's characters and world their own voice.

For this documentary we delved into an experimental palette. We recorded objects owned by the director, such as a toy keyboard, a processed cello, a reversed piano and an eclectic array of items including bicycles, lentils, iron pans and stones. The task to produce the original score was a challenging one: in addition to our musical inspiration, we gathered from vast visual and philosophical references.
