Inside a session
Written, produced and released in-house
Every part of a release happens on one desk: the writing, the production, the sections arranged, the stems split out and the final mix. This is a recreation of that session.

What this is
A side project we take seriously
PIKOTW is also a recording name. It isn't the business and we're not going to dress it up as one — it's what happens on the other side of a working day, released independently as a steady run of singles — pop, dance, electronic, cinematic, the occasional deliberately daft one — in English and Cantonese. And then there's the comedy catalogue: funny songs in Urdu and Punjabi, made for the joke landing, not the algorithm. Some of those carry explicit tags — filed under fun, not family listening.
Songs about life as it actually feels: the good stretches, the difficult ones, and the decision to keep moving. Some of it is sincere. Some of it is deliberately not, and we'd rather say that than pretend the whole catalogue is one thing.
The production and writing skills are real and occasionally useful to other people. Sync, scoring for video work, and mix help are all things we take on — and for businesses, custom brand music: intro and outro themes, social-media tracks for Reels and TikTok, and soundtracks for the kind of hospitality films the Media side of PIKOTW shoots. One team: the film and its music.
Mostly, though, this pillar earns its place as proof: everything here goes from concept to release in-house — writing, production, artwork, distribution, marketing. The same end-to-end creative discipline runs through every other page on this site.

Where the music side is genuinely for hire
Sync
Licensing existing tracks
Original catalogue, one-stop cleared — master and publishing in a single signature, which matters if you've ever tried to clear a song the other way. Direct licensing, no publisher in the middle.
Original
Scoring & commissions
Bespoke music written for a specific piece of video work — brand films, campaign themes, intros and outros, social-media tracks — usually cheaper and cleaner than licensing something famous.
Studio
Production, mix & mastering
Songwriting, arrangement, mixing and mastering for other independent artists.

Sync, an original score, or a mix that isn't sitting right. Happy to talk either way.
