Unisons - Le design musical est crucial


Shine with your mix

No matter your level,
we will design your program to perfection.

Performing is so much easier when the music sounds amazing!

Because our mixes sound loud and clear.  We are creative, passionate and perfectionist.

Magic happens when there’s a bonding relationship between your mix and the choreography.

Rough cuts, abrupt transitions or poor music choice spoil an otherwise memorable moment.

Our artistic approach with acute attention to detail makes our creations shine on the international scene.

Success happens when audience and judges are captivated by a performance.

A good musical arrangement is a crucial asset, a piece of equipment capable of completely transforming the outcome of a season.

Beginner or International competitor, your success is our motivation.

I want to thank you for both of my musics this year! They were such two masterpieces and two of my most favorite programs! You did an amazing job and I loved skating to them. They mean Universe to me!
Lubov Ilyushechkina
For me the music is the heart of the program. My requests are often unclear and half crazy and it could be a challenge to make a 2,50 or 4,10 piece of music perfect. Hugo Can! I want to create different kind of choreographies every year. Hugo makes it possible. Helsinki Rockettes is so proud to have Hugo as their music magician.
Kaisa Arrateig

Nathan Chen
Gracias Hugo!! We can’t thank you enough for all your help! ❤️💯
Olivia SMART & Adrian DIAZ
Preparing for a competition takes all sorts of mastery. Hugo is by far one of the best. I can’t even remember the number of times I have sent a piece of music with edit notes that probably no one else could understand and then getting a reply with the perfect cut of music. He has an ear like no one else and creates pieces of music that become classic programs with signature and custom effects, added notes, and whatever else is needed to make the music perfect. As a skater and as a choreographer, Hugo is my guy.
Adam Rippon
Skating is an art. Every detail is important and will make a difference. Music is part of that whole picture! It is an amazing process to creation and thank you Hugo for having the ability to get into people's head and imagination to create the best!
Nancy Alexander
Thank you so much for helping bring our programs to life with the incredible pieces of music you create for us! We love having you as part of our team!

Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje
Hugo, when I hit the panic button you are always there. Together we’ve been able to create beautiful Masterpieces. Programs where music, choreography and high level skating meet. Program is like a puzzle where all the pieces need to be in the right places. Once done, everyone gets to admire the finished product, but it all starts with the music. Happy to have you in my team, MY MUSIC MASTER!
Anu Oksanen
I have worked with Hugo for over 15 years and he consistently puts an extraordinary amount of care into each one of our Synchro programs. Whether it’s for a Beginner team or a Junior team’s Free Skate, I really appreciate that I can trust him to not stop until it is excellent!
Ashleigh Renard
Hugo has always been one of my best resources as a Skater and now as a Choreographer. He has a great encyclopedia of music but also a wonderful ear. That is so important to me as I believe the most magical skating moments start off with a great piece of music.

Working with Hugo to choose and edit music for programs is always an exciting collaboration. He understands that the music must evoke an emotional journey. He is willing to keep at it until each subtle nuance is exactly right. He is quick to respond with professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm.

Elise Marcotte M.Sc, Olympienne 2008-2012, Médaillée des Championnat du monde, Entraineure - Artistic Swim Academy
I have been working with Hugo since 2008, from being an athlete to being a coach and a professional, Hugo's skills always amazed me. Not only he is knowledgeable and creative, he also is extremely fun to work with. As a choreograph, you often start with an idea and not necessarily being able to express what you want, Hugo can figure out how the music can portray the emotion that you are trying to get to.

Marylin Langlois

Thank you for pushing my creativity every year.
