Una Persona Distinta
Directed by Sergio Quatraro
2024
When we first saw an early cut of Una Persona Distinta and heard about its emotional core — 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 the editing with the Argentinian National Archive: beautifully, director Sergio Quatraro resignifies not only his family’s past but also that of mid-20th century Buenos Aires, inseparably linked.
After many attempts, we discovered that a 3/4 pulse set the montage in motion and brought unity to the sequence.
It makes us proud that the music was brought to life between Berlin and Buenos Aires, the two homes of Estudio Manos, performed by international-level musicians.
Sound design and final mix were also carried out at Estudio Manos.

All We Carry
Directed by Cady Voge
2023
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 and deep dialogue with the editing team.

Nejsem takový
Directed by Alejandro Ríos
2024
bjk
In this short film by talented director Alejandro Ríos, 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.
The score, 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.
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.
Sound design and final mix were also crafted at Estudio Manos.
