Working with several composers and musicians, Expaz has been producing original music for over a decade in various areas: commercials, television projects, documentaries, short films, theatre as well as web and corporate projects. Collaborations with various renowned artists have allowed Expaz to offer songs and recordings of the highest quality.

Sound design / restoration

Sound design and sound effects are important elements of any production. Creating and mixing sound effects and ambient sounds in order to create a mood is a creative process that our team is devoted to.

Life's mishaps during production or recording sessions often render sound unusable, thus requiring audio restoration. Expaz has developed an expertise in this area, both for the production and forensic/legal.
