They were the first[3] Swiss composers to be nominated for the World Soundtrack Awards (Public Choice)[4] in 2019. Their musical range often moves within classic orchestral, subtle electronics and lyrical/non-lyrical vocals.[5]

The siblings work together as a team[6][7] (Diego Baldenweg (composer), Nora Baldenweg (co-composer), Lionel Baldenweg (co-composer)) and together they founded the music production company GREAT GARBO in 2004.[8][9] Since then the siblings have composed and produced the music to over 300[9] international advertising campaigns for brands such as Carlsberg, Mastercard, Nivea, Sony[10] and Dove.[11]

In 2019 they composed the entire original score to the Australian teenage sci-fi series The Unlisted[13] (ABC/Netflix) created by Justine Flynn and produced by Polly Staniford and Angie Fielder. In this context they also produced, arranged and performed a remake of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" for the opening theme.[14]
