JAMES BARGENT IS MUSIC TO RASCAL'S EARS.
25 June 2024

Post-production house RASCAL have hired beanie lover James Bargent as Head of Music, as the company branch out into bespoke compositions, re-records, audio-to-video synchronization, and more.

Fresh off an eight-year stint at MassiveMusic, a buzzing Bargent says: "As a fully independent studio, RASCAL seemed to me like a place without boundaries, with cross-discipline collaboration, experimentation, and fun at its heart.

"Bringing music into the fold adds another dimension to RASCAL's culture, multiplying the opportunities for our clients and partners to push what is creatively possible."


“

We are excited to see the new dimensions James will bring to our work.

 ”

That works for managing director Gareth Brannan, who says: "Music was a natural fit at RASCAL, and so was James from the moment we met. His energy and passion for music were infectious, and it was clear that we had found the right person to build our music team. James is not here to just create an add-on music department—he is here to build a fully-fledged music offering that stands on its own.

"Music will play a pivotal role in the future of RASCAL, enhancing our ability to craft beautiful and compelling content. We are excited to see the new dimensions James will bring to our work and the endless opportunities this will provide for our clients and partners to push the boundaries of creativity."
