Trelawny Production · Bristol and remote
For stories that need more than a clean edit. We build them from voices, original music and real sound, so people feel it as well as hear it.
We start with the people. Interviews are cut so the answers play as one story, grouped by theme and free of the questions.
We find the shape of each episode: where it opens, what it builds to and what it leaves the listener with.
Every score is original and written to the story. Nothing is pulled from a library.
Field recordings and soundscapes take the listener there, from a boat off Greenland to interviews recorded on fieldwork in East Africa.
Sound is part of how the story is told, including when it falls away.
Mixed, mastered and published, with a website and a launch plan if you need them.
Documentary series
Famine, survival and memory, told by the people who lived it. Each episode is a crafted audio documentary of 15 to 20 minutes, built from first-person testimony, field recordings, archive, original music and sound design. Made with researchers at the University of Bath.
Scored documentary
Thirty minutes in remote Greenland, drawn from the experiences of artists and scientists on a 2018 expedition. The interview questions were cut and the answers grouped by theme, so it plays as one story, set to original music and soundscapes made from the expedition's own recordings of boats and melting ice. We did all of the post-production, from editing the stories together to the music, sound design and final mix.
No. We can plan the recording with you, or work from interviews and field recordings you already have.
Yes. Bitter Harvest was built from interviews recorded on fieldwork, and Kalerrâ from recordings made on an expedition. We restore what needs it and build around what's there.
Yes. The music and sound design are composed for each series.
Tell us about it, even if it's only half an idea. The first call is free.
