Welcome to Audiotechture!

At Audiotechture we use sounds and acoustics to create sonic interiors and environmental designs. The basis for our work is sound design, architecture, acoustics and audiology.

The acoustic design created by Audiotechture uses sounds as architectural elements just as architects have traditionally used light and colour, and through a combination of these elements we help create well-being and better functionality in work spaces, in buildings and in public areas.

Acoustic design can be explained with these four principles as starting point:
1 Respect for the voice and the
hearing.
2 Awareness of what different
sounds symbolizes.
3 Knowledge of the natural flow and
tempo within a certain space or
environment.
4 Understanding of the
mechanisms that in any given
situation can behave irrationally
and chaos-like.

We maintain that it is both possible and desirable to shape sonic environments in order to create well-being in general, and as a result, to take advantage of the positive effects one can predict. We believe that acoustic design should be a natural part of the architectural process and we are convinced that it will soon be in demand just as any visual interior design element is now, and that it will become equally significant.

Audiotechture’s acoustic design is based upon the following assumptions:
1 The environment should have a
positive effect on the people in it.
2 The sounds used in an
environment should ideally be
free from elements that can be
traced to a certain cultural
tradition or style.
3 The sonic profile should be
dynamic and organic.
4 The sound levels should
nominally be below normal level
of attention and slightly above
the sound level determined by air
condition and fan systems. The
exception being when sounds
should work interactively or

serve as embellishments.
5 Parts of the acoustic design
should have an interactive to
relationship people in the
environment.
6 The acoustic design should be
formable and variable over time.

Why not music?
Today music is used in both commercial and public environments for two main reasons: to mask noise from fans and air condition systems and to create a positive ambience. Many times however the result is the opposite. Partly because the volume is at such high levels that we become too aware of its presence, partly because although the music may well appeal to some people it will also repel others for a number of reasons often originating in cultural background and heritage.
