Behind the signal
Ed Malaker is the founder, creative lead, and public-facing writer, editor, musician, songwriter, narrator, and independent creator behind 32 Hertz.
Nancy Bury is a central creative partner across art, animation, music, and production. Today the team centers on Ed, Nancy, and Frank Baransky, with Ed’s son Cody joining some projects. Many other musicians, actors, and collaborators have helped shape the work over the years.
32 Hertz gives that shared work a home without hiding the people behind a faceless company identity.
