Manhattan-based audio mixing and music supervision company, Sonic Union, tackled more than their usual sound work last week. They planned and executed their 4th Annual “Assistants Party” that doubled as both a mixer for budding industry professionals and a relief event for areas hit the hardest by super-storm Sandy.
Assistant producers and assistant editors from over 30 different editorial houses and ad agencies gained entrance to the event by bringing along at least one item to donate to relief efforts. Sonic Union also pledged a donation of $20.00 per attendee of the event, and with over 150 attendees, $3,000.00+ was donated by Sonic Union.
Charities receiving monetary and material aide from the social benefit included recovery organization site Staten Island Recovers, volunteer-based direct action group Rockaway Renegades and NYC umbrella animal welfare organization NYC Animal Alliance.

About SONIC UNION
Steve Rosen, Michael Marinelli, and Adam Barone got together for some pints in 2007. After way too many of those, they hatched an audacious plan that would eventually give rise to Sonic Union in late 2008 – their 8,000 foot treehouse and audio mix playground overlooking Union Square.
Over a short period, they’ve grown both staff and capabilities to include: music supervision, motion design production, and voiceover/on-camera casting to their established role as the premiere audio boutique in New York. Award-winning agencies, editorial firms, visual effects studios, and production houses routinely collaborate with Sonic Union for sound and motion expertise.
Swing on by and let’s play.
