Sound Only You Could Make.
No AI. No Presets. All Human.
At Form and Frequency, we believe the best music is the kind only you can make—not something pulled from a preset pack or generated by AI. Founded by Marc McClusky, a multi-platinum producer and award-winning composer, the studio is built around a simple truth: real music is human.
Marc’s credits include Weezer, Everclear, Motion City Soundtrack, Bad Religion, Ludo and William Beckett, with projects earning Gold and Platinum records, Top 10 Billboard positions, and a #1 iTunes Rock album. He’s also composed for brands like Kia, Ford, Hendrick’s Gin, GE, and the American Red Cross, earning Cannes Lions, CLIOs, AMP Awards, and shortlist nods from Shots Magazine and AICP.
At Form and Frequency, we don’t recycle loops or chase trends—we work closely with artists to create records that couldn’t exist without them. Our work spans alt, punk, and rock albums, as well as cinematic, story-driven music for film, TV, and sync—built with emotional depth, cultural integrity, and a sound that feels alive.
We’re here for artists who care about vibe, emotion, and craft. No stock sounds. No templates. No AI. Just honest, original music built from the ground up—with you, and for you.
