The Modern Man
It is with both excitement and apprehension that the STAMP team took on the challenge of creating a wall-to-wall soundtrack for “The Modern Man,” a Hollywood golden-age inspired film with no audible dialogue in which the storytelling is substantially driven by… the music!
Our STAMP team worked hard at making sure the music kept true to the period, and over 60 live musicians were recorded for this soundtrack.

Tomb Raider Reloaded: Music & Score Behind the Scenes
Sound post production month!
We had our hands full doing audio post-production work for remarkable projects in the past few weeks.
- The documentary “Moustafa & Maram” directed by Malcolm St-Pierre is one of them. A touching story about an Egyptian-American father and daughter in New York City that made its way winning Remi Award at the WorldFest – Houston International Film Festival, the oldest Independent film festival in the world!
- We also had the pleasure to work with Sundance and SXSW award-winning director Anna Samo on her latest short film “Conversations With a Whale,” an animation about rejection and self-acceptance using unconventional techniques such as stop motion, cut out, pixilation and dry pastel drawing.
- The comedy series “The Communist’s Daughter” by director Leah Cameron currently airing on CBC Gem also features sound design and foley created by the STAMP team. Available to stream online on CBC.ca.

STAMP is proud to announce its collaboration with the award-winning creator of media-based attractions Triotech who re-imagined one of the most iconic rides of the California-based Knott’s Berry Farm theme park: “Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair”.
We worked hard at making sure that the music kept the heart and soul of the original soundtrack created in the 70’s but we also made sure that all aspects of the music were in line with the new technologies involved in this new 4D Interactive Dark Ride. STAMP produced over 30+ minutes of music and more than 15 live musicians were involved in the recording of this charming homage to bluegrass music. You won’t resist head nodding to this soundtrack, guaranteed!
Hotel Limbo
Who wouldn’t be happy to get a hotel as an inheritance? That is how the story begins for Diana Maxa played by the Czech pop star and actress Lucie Vondrácková in this romantic comedy feature that takes place in the Laurentian Mountains of Mont-Tremblant, Canada. STAMP handled the audio post-production including foley, sound design and 7.1 surround mix for theaters. We also oversaw the music licensing as well as the creation of a heartfelt original score totaling in 50 minutes of music.
Submarine Adventure
The Branson’s “Aquarium at the Boardwalk” in Missouri is now officially opened!

Have a look at their facilities, the attention to detail is jaw dropping!
Dragon’s Spell
We are thrilled to announce the completion of the work on Dragon’s Spell, an exciting interactive ride and first of its kind in Vietnam.
The attraction features full scenic theming with animatronic in addition to seven interactive scenes narrating an immersively dark journey of a king cursed by the malevolent Dragon’s screaming whisper, the King spirals into a feverish nightmare that imprisons his mind and transforms the entire kingdom into darkness. STAMP produced over 20 minutes of original music and sound design for this fantastic attraction. The ride will be built at the Vinpearl Land’s newest theme park, located on the resort island of Phú Quốc, Vietnam.
