Capturing the Sounds of Tradition 

We took a trip to the Doscher’s Candies factory in Cincinnati, Ohio, where candy has been made by hand since 1871. Using their century-and-a-half-old candy-making process as inspiration, we recorded the sounds of their factory – the bubbling of copper kettles, the rhythmic kneading of candy, and even the satisfying snap of French Chew nougat. These everyday sounds became the building blocks of music.

A Holiday Classic, Reimagined 

The result is a completely original version of Jingle Bells – one that doesn’t just celebrate the holidays but also pays tribute to Doscher’s legacy. For over 150 years, they’ve made candy the same way, by hand and with care. That sense of craft, history, and attention to detail inspired us to turn their factory into an instrument.

Telling Stories Through Sound 

At PLAY Audio Agency, we believe sound can tell stories in unexpected ways. This project was our chance to capture not just the process, but the personality of a place that’s been part of Cincinnati for generations. Listen to our version of Jingle Bells and hear the sounds of tradition, reimagined.
