Project Summary

In collaboration with SkillScout, I created the soundscape, sound design, and vocal design for SmartRecruiters' event at AREA 15. Spanning a four-panel video installation, the work was built around a single idea: using sound to pull the room into somewhere else entirely.

Design

The first step was building the soundscape for each video panel, which meant working out how sound moves and shifts across a large room, adjusting directionality constantly to keep the audio feeling immersive rather than flat. Everything had to be specific to the moment on screen.

From there, the focus moved to the finer sound design, making sure each hit, explosion, and spatial rush had real impact. A lot of experimentation went into getting the physical feel of those moments right.

The last piece was the narrator's voice. The brief called for something god-like, a presence that felt like it was coming from everywhere at once. Using layered processing techniques, the voice was built into the mix in a way that felt clean but otherworldly.
