Meet The Team

Headed up by Seb Bruen and Ben Riches, our team drives all aspects of the creative music process. Projects are supported by No.8’s in-house audio production team led by Executive Producer Karen Noden, We offer access to a unique network of freelance artists, musicians, and producers on a project-by-project basis. Combining robust in-house services along with an expansive roster and outside facilities gives us the scalability and versatility to deliver on every project.

Music at No.8 is more than a finishing touch 

Music at No.8 is part of the storytelling from the very start. We collaborate across every stage of the creative process — shaping sound and music in parallel with picture, colour, and post. 

From orchestral scores and beat-driven tracks to vocal-led pieces and ambient textures, our work spans genres but is always rooted in intention. Our full-service approach means we take ownership of the entire music process — bringing depth, detail, and authenticity to every sonic moment so you can focus on the bigger picture. 

What makes us different 

Offering music allows No.8 to orchestrate the entire creative process across sound, music, and picture post. 

What sets us apart is integration — and responsibility. Music and sound design don’t exist in silos here; they exist in conversation, guided by creative vision. Whether we’re shaping the emotional tone of a campaign, enhancing dialogue with musical nuance, or building atmosphere through layered sound, everything is developed, aligned, and delivered under one roof. 

That fluid workflow allows ideas to move quickly, creative boundaries to blur, and stories to emerge that feel cohesive, considered, and emotionally resonant.
