Swimming in to summer with some new work. Woven deep into our cultural memory in Australia, when we think of our childhoods, often we remember long summer days in and around the water. Although 1 in 4 Australian adults don’t know how to swim…so Allianz Swim Club was launched to change that, created by Howatson+Company & brought to life by the Scoundrel team, edited and graded by @Heckler HQ and an original track composed by Heckler Sound.

Filmed on location off the Croatian coast, this campaign from director Selina Miles takes us back to our winter escape euro trips, with their gentle sun and warm sea breezes. We provided a pared-back, lounge cover of "Just the Two of Us" that wouldn’t go amiss in a taverna looking out over the Adriatic.

Featuring rising footy star Bailey Smith and his iconic locks, this project was a labour of love for director Josh Logue. Our original track from composer Johnny Green blended soul samples with hip hop beats, while our head of sound Dave Robertson built a soundscape that amplified the uncanny, quirky vibe of the film, from barbershop chairs to prehensile mullets.

Heckler Sound | Maurice Blackburn Exhibit AI
Some stories need to be told. Even more important is that they be heard. HecklerSound was honoured to provide the original score for the latest Maurice Blackburn Campaign depicting the experiences of refugees held on Australian offshore detention centres over the past 10 years. Working with Howatson+Company, Composer Johnny Green drew inspiration from the deeply confronting imagery and moving interviews with the survivors of the Nauru and Papua New Guinea detention centres.
