WHAT A SHOW

An incredible group of talented humans behind the mic and the keyboard on this one. And that theme song is just incredible. Go give Whispering a listen! A really promising start to what is going to be one of my favorite shows!

Beautiful in every way

In the first episode alone, you hear one of the most ethereal scores you’ve ever heard over a story full of mythos & magic, with a truly immersive sound design you open your eyes & are surprised to not be actually inside of... I couldn’t recommend this show enough !!!
