Ian 'Arge' Hargest

Arge’s sound design and mixing are bold, detailed, and built to hit hard. He’s personable and attentive with clients, genuinely understands what they’re trying to achieve, and cares about getting there with them. Sound doesn’t stop in the studio either, with weekends often spent field recording and building new SFX. His career spans advertising, film, television, sonic branding and immersive audio. It got off to a flying start with Chris Cunningham’s launch campaign for Xfm, and has since included a long-running relationship with Sky and projects for Apple, LEGO, Google and Sony. His work has earned multiple D&ADs and a host of major sound awards. Highlights include creating Dolby Atmos immersive sound experiences for the launch of Sky Glass, recreating the sound of 80,000 voices singing in unison in a football stadium, and coaxing an emotional performance out of a Dalek. He’s a massive sci-fi fan, which may or may not explain the occasional TIE fighter reference.
