Stumbled upon this throwback photo of me and my pal Tesla – always so charged up with ideas, he was truly electrifying to be around and never failed to spark a good conversation! 😆🎢⚡ #VoltronNevera #Europapark #NikolaTesla #SoundMixing #PunSunday

We’ve been working on a experimenta – Das Science Center Fulldome show for a while with amazing art by fractal artist Julius Horsthuis and fantastic music by Michael Stearns. Daniel Deboy did the spatial sound mix and I designed soundscapes to sonify the amazing world of fractals. We can’t wait for this show to premiere!

Soundscapes: The Sonic Identity of an EnvironmentThe importance of soundscapes extends far beyond their aesthetic value; they hold the power to influence our emotions, behaviours, and even our well-being. But what exactly are soundscapes? Soundscapes are the sonic landscape of a particular place, encompassing all the sounds that occur naturally and those created by humans. This concept, introduced by Canadian composer and environmentalist R. Murray Schafer, underlines the significance of sound in shaping our experiences and interactions with the spaces around us. Each location possesses a unique soundscape that contributes to its identity. The soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause, PhD sees the soundscape of a given region as the sum of three separate sound sources:ılılı 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲: sounds created by naturelıılı 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲:sounds created by animalsı||ıı 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲: sounds created by humansIn the context of themed attractions planning and sound design, integrating soundscapes can dramatically enhance the visitor experience. As a sound designer, my objective is to craft soundscapes that are not only pleasant but also align seamlessly with the surrounding space, ultimately enriching the quality and authenticity of the experience and providing a profound level of immersion.In crafting the sound for "Pirates in Batavia" at Europa-Park, our focus was on authentically recreating an Indonesian soundscape to ensure a fully immersive and convincing sonic environment. From the Indonesian stilt village to the spice market and jungle settings, meticulous attention to detail was crucial. This involved integrating authentic fauna and language elements into the background sounds, enhancing the overall realism and transporting visitors into the heart of the experience. (https://lnkd.in/dzct7Hc)Soundscapes are not merely background noise; they are a vital component of our environment, offering unique insights into the essence of each location. As the human experience is inherently multi-sensory, any attempt to convey an environment or tell a story without acknowledging the role of sound, is incomplete. Neglecting soundscapes deprives people of a holistic understanding and immersion into a place or narrative. By embracing and integrating soundscapes into dark rides, museums, and other attractions, we can enhance an understanding of the space, creating more immersive and meaningful experiences that resonate with visitors on a deeper level.As Johan Ahrenfeldt, exhibition technologist at Moesgaard Museum beautifully put it: ”𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳 “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦” 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵”#Soundscapes #Europapark #PiratenInBatavia #SoundDesign #DarkRide #SoundForAttractions #SoundForMuseums #SpatialAudio #ImmersiveAudio #ImmersiveSound #ParkAV📸 by Europa-Park 🗺️ by Dark Ride Database

International Women’s Day:Still only 7% women in the audio industry. We still have a long way to go! Thanks Alana Vera for inviting me to be part of this important campaign for Apogee Electronics, a company founded 39 years ago by Betty Bennett, a pioneer in the pro audio industry who paved the way for women in the field. And thank you Paula Fairfield, MPSE, DFA for being such a badass sound designer role model! https://lnkd.in/e7YzKh5n#womeninaudio #internationalwomensday #sounddesigner #soundengineer
