History

Starting out as L. Morcom & R. Storm, in the '80's we formed an association with Sound Design Studio, a pioneering environmental sound company, and built specialised speaker enclosures for use in such projects as :

Pacific Rim Aquarium, Osaka, Japan.

Travelling Bicentennial Exhibition, Australia.

South Australian Maritime Museum, Adelaide, South Australia

Darling Harbour Aquarium, Sydney, Australia.

Silicon Valley Museum of the Microchip, Silicon Valley, California

Biosphere 2 Project, Arizona

Atlanta Zoo, Atlanta, Georgia

San Diego Zoo, San Diego, California

Christopher Columbus Aquarium, Genoa, Italy.

Institute of Sport, Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

Seal Enclosure, Melbourne Zoo.

and many others.

In the 90's our client, Magian Multimedia, secured the National Science Centre project in Malaysia which led to us into exhibits and interactives construction. Since then, we have aquired many more clients and carried out major and diverse projects.
