Badsound

The Wind Blows Wherever It Wants

Feature film · Directed by Ivan Boiko · 2025

Badsound: Sound design

Over a period of 16 months, herders in the Georgian region of Tusheti guide vast flocks of sheep back and forth between the snow-covered Caucasus peaks and the remote Vashlovani steppes. There are no protagonists here — not even among the sheep and lambs that pass before the camera — in this dialogue-free, affectionate tribute to the species. Everything changes as the flock approaches the inhabited world, where felled trees, oil derricks, and honking cars stand in stark contrast to the repetitive patterns of a migration that preserves knowledge accumulated over centuries.

Studio portrait

Badsound is a Berlin-based sound post-production and music studio founded by Nikolay Antonov. For over a decade, we’ve shaped the sound of film and advertising, from sound design and re-recording mixing to original music.

Our films have screened at Sundance, Berlinale, NYFF, Tribeca, Locarno, IDFA, IFFR and many more festivals. In advertising, we’ve worked with Nike, Jordan, Coca Cola, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Netflix, Amazon, Bumble, and Oura, earning a Webby People’s Voice Award and an ADC Bronze for Best Use of Sound and Music, among other accolades.

Beyond sound and music, we work as post producers and supervisors, guiding projects from the first script draft to the premiere.
