Introducing Crescendo

Zana Fauzi — Thu, 07 May 2015 17:23:28 +0000

Like most agencies, all of us in Stampede listen to music a lot while working. In most cases, although we do great work together, it is understandable that our music choices are different.

Shaiful with jazz and blues
Sani with chiptune music
Iwan with Hindi songs
Shaza with EDM
Dahlia with mainstream pop
Zana with drum and bass
Anis with Jason Mraz and mainstream pop

So we thought, “Hey let’s compile everyone’s favourite tunes together in one playlist,” so people can have an insight into what Stampede listens to while designing, coding, project managing and being up to tomfooleries.

Introducing Crescendo, our unofficial playlist.

The word crescendo couldn’t be any more apt. At Stampede, we start with building up momentum, having a progressive increase in intensity till the most intense point reached -as we churn ideas at miles per hour day per day. There is never a dull day here.

Generally defined as the gradual increase in loudness in a piece of music, Crescendo – both word and playlist, where it lists music ranging from laidback to feel-good times to epic launch themes, is just perfect to describe how we go through about our days at Stampede.

Enjoy Crescendo!

(Note: While you are reading this, we are also in the midst of creating another version of Crescendo, with more heightened experience covering the sickest sound bytes to listen to while working, music news, reviews and many more. Stay tuned!)

In Absolute Awe of Irina Vinnik

Irina Vinnik is an illustrator and designer from St Petersburg, Russia. I can read a little of Russian but you don’t have to speak the language to appreciate the painstaking details she perfected in each of her elaborate illustrations. Her first book published recently, “The World of Dolls: Stories and Legends”, probably excites designers more than their children.

Come to think of it, there are many better designers out there robbed of their deserving limelight because they are not in it for the fame. In the end, it’s the craft that matters.

Hers is no ordinary design work and I’m still awed, so I’m going to cut my post short here. You can also see Irina’s portfolio on Bēhance. Enjoy.
