Project-specific sound design

Sound design for media and brands.

Sound design suits projects where audio has a defined function, such as supporting a transition, providing a cue or creating a mood.

Function before effect

What should the sound communicate?

A sound should do more than sound good in isolation. It can build tension, provide a cue, support movement or deepen an atmosphere. We therefore start with the intended use, length, desired effect and available source material.

Before the quote, we clearly establish which steps Kern Medien will handle and whether additional contributors or rights are required.

From the idea to the agreed file.

A clear process keeps creative and technical expectations aligned.
