Cocktail Time is a digital series we made with the good folks at Please Bring Chips, a Washington, D.C.-based catering and events services company specializing in bespoke food and beverage service.

Visions of Humanity was an interactive projection installation created for the ART ALL NIGHT block party celebrating the grand re-opening of the newly renovated Franklin Square Park in downtown DC in September 2021. Being one of the first major Art events post-COVID, we wanted to create something that allowed visitors of the space to be a part of the art. We created three 8' human head sculptures as projection surfaces. We then created a booth where visitors can have a photo or video taken of them in real time and have their face remixed allowing them to become a part of the artwork itself. The goal was to celebrate the visual diversity of human kind and the subtle differences that make us a unique creatures.

In Summer 2022, the Studio was tasked with covering Pharelle's Something in the Water festival in DC. Pierre and team were in the trenches capturing social content for our client and co-host of the event, EventsDC. Over the three day period, Pierre and team filmed and edited all the madness and packaged it up in a total of: 9 short videos, 3 daily recaps and 2 full-length recaps. Since we can't really show you those videos (client stuff), we wanted to share some of our favorite moments from the weekend. Hope you enjoy!

Please Bring is a series highlighting the best the DC food & beverage scene has to offer. Each episode features the people that are introducing their culture the the DC area in sharing it with the neighborhoods and people that make up our great city.

Sensory Challenge™ 2022 Video, Motion Graphics, Sound Design 0:25 “Practice without challenge is not enough. Challenges help us learn where we stand in our development. Challenges give us information about what works and what doesn’t. If we practice endlessly and never challenge ourselves we develop a false sense of security. Practice your Senses. Challenge your Senses.” Sensory Challenge™ is a short that pulls the viewer into a moment of sensory overload and anxiety. It’s meant as a small challenge for the viewer to endure the sounds and visuals for the short duration of the piece. Your senses can also be practiced and be developed. Challenging your senses are an important part of their development.

The lab is a place where ideas are put through their limits. Not all ideas make it out. Some progress but ultimately crash and burn. Some never get past the infancy stage. But it’s all practice. Practice helps prepare you for what’s to come. Without practice there is no guarantee of success. Without experimentation we can’t achieve innovation. This film is an illustration of the lifecycle of an idea as told by A.I. The idea is born, tested, failed, and reborn into something new.

Using every day life as inspiration, we decided to create a look book that could speak to the individual characters that inspired each design. Styling and set design was curated by both Pierre and El. Big thanks to Forrest, Joe, Izzy, Ki, Allie, and Aaron for helping us create this expression of the life and times of the studio.

“Our Thoughts are Free .99” is a collection of reference material that inspired the collection, “If you’re with Olaf give him my love.”

“Bath Bad-Asses” is a collection of illustrations and compositions created and curated by Elllll.io of Studio Sonic® Sensory Practice™. The illustrations featured were created between 2019-2022. The zine is available for purchase at the link below.

For this Comedy Lab we wanted to try something in the vain of our usual format but this time we only had one comedian. Devon Walker. You might know him from SNL or Comedy Central Stand-up. He wanted to try out a set that was mostly based in crowd work for a full hour long session. We were more than happy to oblige and were super happy with the result.

SonicAGE was a multi-media experiential installation created for DC's semi-annual UMBRELLA art fair. The installation featured an amalgamation of visual mediums used to introduce the Studio Sonic Art Practice to the ever growing DC art scene. SonicAGE featured canvas collage work, wooden sculptures, and projected motion graphics by Eliud Arbelo II as well as foam and concrete sculpture work and projected motion graphics by Pierre Edwards. The center piece of the space was an 10x16' immersive house illuminated by 4 seamless motion graphic projections that allowed visitors of the space to feel what it would be like to be inside a projection. Being fully immersed by light and visuals and allowing the visitors to experience projection art in a more inclusive and visceral way. To round out the installation, we included a merch shop with Apparel, accessories and prints allowing visitors to take something small away to remember their time in SonicAGE.

For our SonicAGE installation at the 2021 Umbrella art show, we wanted to create a small offering of apparel and accessories as a taste of what would be to come from Studio Sonic. The offering featured 3 short-sleeve tshirts, one long-sleeve tshirt and one hoodie, as well as some stickers and photo prints by Pierre Edwards. While this was a small offering, it would serve as a preface to future endeavors in our apparel and merchandise practice.

In 2022 Maketto and Studio Sonic wanted to ring in the New Year in style. We decided to come together to throw a NYE party to end all NYE parties.

The food was incredible, the drinks were flowing and the vibes were immaculate! Thanks to everyone who came through! Special Thanks to our DJs Ebb King, Mista Selekta and Mane Squeeze and our host Greeezay!
