We hear you;
we guide you

Communication professionals are rarely confronted to sonic identities projects. It is a tricky task that may come only once across someone’s career. More than anything, it requires guidance, a strong expertise and good advice.  

We always keep our curiosity high and our ears open. We understand your brand, your audience and the stakes involved. We love being proactive, bringing our enthusiasm and creative energy to each project and into your strategy.  

Allegro vivace! 

We make sounds
that make sense

Perrine Philippe (communication and branding expert) and François Castello (music composer and producer) are the founding managers of Dissonances.  

Their duo is the perfect association of strategic reflection and music creation, which constitutes a unique expertise as well as the agency’s strength and originality.  

This combination gave birth to acclaimed sonic identities. They were proven both relevant and impactful by market research companies, due to their record-breaking attribution, affection and engagement rates.  

 

Je remercie l’agence Dissonances qui a réalisé un travail de grande qualité afin de mettre en musique, nos aspirations, en adéquation avec notre marque. L’identité sonore de la Ligue Féminine, avec une mélodie qui se démarque, a rapidement trouvé son public que ce soient les joueuses ou les (télé)spectateurs, notre objectif est donc atteint.

Je suis fière de vous présenter l’identité sonore du département. Un beau travail mené par les équipes de la communication avec l’agence de design sonore Dissonances. Cette identité est le reflet de notre territoire et de ses valeurs: un département proche, solidaire et innovant.

Quand on est heureux de travailler avec des partenaires de confiance, il faut le dire et il faut le dire fort ! Au delà de la qualité de leurs expertises, je crois bien que toutes ces personnes ont en commun une gentillesse sincère (oui la gentillesse n'est pas un gros mot !) et une posture toujours positive, humble aidante et constructive. Un bonheur de travailler avec chacune et chacun d'entre vous !

If my brand was a sound, if my company was music...what would it be ? This is a facinating question that we are answering for the first time giving Cegos Group a sound identity.The creative process in which we were guided by Dissonances was exciting ! Thank you to Francois Castello, Perrine Philippe and the musicians who were able to find the CegosGroup sound !

Thanks to Dissonances' sharp expertise and guidance during the whole process, we managed to express our words in sounds, rhythms and emotions. At the end of the day, we are very proud of the result. The second that we had the internal reveal, we felt a real fondness and unpredicted support.
Stéphane Fouquet
Head of Campaigns and Communication, French national healthcare fund
By the emotional dimension it brought, our sonic identity put the finishing touch to the work that we had started on our branding. Dissonances delivered way more than a simple jingle: we received a whole sound kit that gives us full autonomy regarding our communication. A big thank you to this team that translated our ambition so accurately.
Aline Carré
Head and Representative of the French Federation of Cardiology
This music makes people actually happy. From the moment it was released in june 2018, the sonic identity was very well received by central directors and academies. But beyond the positive reception that this music gets everytime we play it to a new audience, this project's success is the fruit of a close and meticulous teamwork between our steering committee and Dissonances.
Florence Bottollier
Artistic advisor, French Ministry of Education
Our music, which represents Faurecia & HELLA so well, is a music in movement, upbeat, trendy, with elegance (of the piano), modernity (of the electro) and a great human touch (of the voices). It was composed by the excellent team of Dissonances. With a crescendo, it evokes the freedom of movement, agility and projection towards the future. Close your eyes, put the sound on! You are at FORVIA!
Victoria Chanial
Executive Vice President Group Communications de Faurecia
Our team is fully convinced by the sonic identity that you created! The arrangement that you have made with the animated logo was a real success. That's a huge YES for us!!! We are very proud of this beautiful work.

Hear it from our clients

We are a little agency that is quick to respond, creative and sharp. We stay at your side during the whole process and remain fully involved in the project.  

This close relationship with our clients is essential to our strategic and creative approach, as it allows us to fully understand their needs.  

The biggest brands, companies and institutions make no mistake about it: TotalEnergies, ArianeGroup, Altice, French Ministry of Education or Natixis, just to mention a few.  

We create emotion

Our team is amazing. Those who compose, produce, perform and play our sonic identities come from the entertainment and music industries. They know how to build a real proximity with an audience.  

They composed movie scores, songs and successful musicals. They toured with the biggest French music stars and recorded the most beautiful albums. They are high-level rockers, DJs, music conductors, beatmakers, composers and virtuosi, with complementary backgrounds and sensibilities.  

Having success and entertaining crowds is a real job. At Dissonances, we think that brands deserve this kind of craft.  

Our sonic identities are critically acclaimed

Dissonances was the first music agency to ever get a design award at the TOP/COM ceremony, one of the most important branding competitions in France. This award went to our creation for the French Federation of Cardiology, which evokes the movement and tempo of a heart massage.  

TotalEnergies' super-efficient sonic identity also got a silver award, as did our creation for the French national health care fund in 2021.  

In 2019, Dissonances received a gold award, both at the TOP/COM ceremony and the Stratégies du Design ceremony for the remarkable identity of the French Ministry of Education – one of our greatest hits.  

Our sound gets
you renown

Dissonances leaves nothing to chance. The quality of our sound is an absolute priority. Our office includes recording studios for creative, mixing and mastering purposes, designed by sound lovers for sound lovers. 

Those are true sound workshops filled with legendary microphones, iconic ‘80s synths and an amazing collection of vintage guitars. 

Dissonances’ recording studios combine the best of the classic gear with the latest technologies: this is one of the secrets behind our sound.
