ON THE SLY is a creative music and sound partner for live experiences, immersive environments and visitor attractions.
For over 20 years we’ ve worked alongside producers, experience designers, creative directors and brands to create memorable experiences through music, sound design and sonic storytelling.
Our work spans immersive exhibitions, interactive installations, international ceremonies, large-scale public spectacles and globally broadcast live events.
Recent projects include Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath at ArtScience Museum Singapore, London’ s New Year’ s Eve celebrations, spatial audio experiences for COP28, Formula 1 opening ceremonies and large-scale drone and fireworks spectaculars around the world.
Whether developing immersive audio for an interactive visitor experience or directing the music for a major event, we believe music and sound deserve the same creative consideration as every other part of the audience experience.
Into the ocean: Journey beneath( Artscience Museum, Singapore)
Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath is a multisensory exhibition at ArtScience Museum Singapore created by Studio Giggle in collaboration with OceanX combining science, storytelling and immersive technology to bring visitors closer to the hidden world beneath the ocean’ s surface. Working alongside Studio Giggle, ON THE SLY created the sound design and immersive audio for three interactive installations within the exhibition.
Designed to respond to visitor participation, the installations use sound to enhance discovery, engagement and emotional connection throughout the experience. The project demonstrates how music and sound can help transform interactive environments into memorable visitor experiences, supporting both storytelling and audience engagement.
New Year’ s Eve celebrations( BBC One)
Broadcast live to millions on BBC One and experienced by audiences gathered along the River Thames, London’ s New Year’ s Eve celebrations are one of the UK’ s most recognised public events. ON THE SLY has been the music direction and sound design partner for the show across seven consecutive years, working alongside producers, technical teams and creative partners to create a soundtrack that reflects the events, achievements and stories of each year. The project demonstrates how music and sound can help connect large audiences to a shared experience, both on-site and through broadcast.
