This page is for ideas that do not fit a regular studio service. Audio time capsules, personal radio plays, sound installations, audio letters, spiritual audio works or other special requests. If what you have in mind is unusual, emotional or technically particular, I am happy to look at it with you.
You do not have to know yet where your idea belongs. Write me a short note about what you are imagining. I settle the rest with you in conversation.
A few sentences by email, WhatsApp or phone are enough. Describe the occasion, the idea, any material you have and the result you want. If audio files are already part of it, you are welcome to send a short sample.
I give you an honest first assessment. If what you want fits a regular service, I point you there. If it really is a special sound request, the initial consultation is the right next step.
With a genuine sound request I start with a paid initial consultation of usually 60 to 90 minutes. There I develop the concept, settle the effort and the possibilities, and afterwards you get a written offer.
Many audio requests already fit my regular studio services. There the process is clear, the scope is easier to cost and booking is possible directly. But there are audio requests that do not fit any of these standard categories because they are too individual, too emotional, too artistic or too technically particular. That can be an audio time capsule, a sound installation, a personal radio play, a special audio letter or a spiritual audio work. This page is there for exactly those ideas. This page is for exactly those requests for special wishes that lie outside a normal studio job.
If what you want clearly fits a regular studio service, the relevant standard page is faster and simpler. For pure audio restoration you go to the Audio restoration. For a music production you go to the Music production. For CD or vinyl cover design you go to the CD cover and CD production. For sampling you go to the Sampling. This request service is because what makes sense technically, emotionally and artistically has to be settled first. In the initial consultation I decide with you whether it really is a special sound request or whether a regular service suits it better.
These examples show the kind of direction meant. They are inspiration, not a fixed programme. Audio time capsules for long term preservation over 18 to 30 years with a delayed opening. Personal sound installations and free sound art for particular spaces, private presentations or individual artistic projects. Personal radio play and audio biography production with a narrative composition across several voices and generations. Audio for particular transitions in life such as adoption letters, audio messages between generations, audio letters for children to hear later. Meditative and spiritual audio works such as sound journeys, meditation series in your own voice, mantra audio or quiet accompaniment with a singing bowl. Particular private sound ideas such as old digital family recordings, personal sound collages, small sound objects, your own voice recordings or creative 3D audio experiments for private projects. They all start with the paid initial consultation, bookable online in the studio shop.
For ideas that need more concept, more feeling, or that connect several areas of audio work.
Audio time capsules keep personal messages for a later moment, for example an 18th birthday, a wedding or a particular anniversary. I help with the recording, the sound editing and a sensible form of handover. If longer preservation is planned, I go through exactly what is realistic and safe to do beforehand. This long term preservation is part of the service and makes the idea more than a simple recording.
If you are planning a sound installation, a performance or a particular piece of audio work, I support you with the concept, the recording, the sound editing and preparing the files. That can make sense for private artistic ideas, readings, dance or free creative projects. With artistic sound projects it is not only about the technology but about a good understanding of your idea and the effect you want.
A personal radio play can connect memories, voices, music and atmosphere. That suits family stories, biographical recordings, small private audio series or works remembering particular people. That goes far beyond standard music production, because voices, dramaturgy and atmosphere have to be thought through together.
Some moments in life deserve more than a quick voice message. I support you with audio letters, personal messages, recordings to remember, wedding ideas, farewells or other sensitive moments that should be handled calmly and respectfully. Requests like these need particular emotional sensitivity because every occasion has an emotional logic of its own.
For meditation, sound journeys, affirmations, mantras or quiet audio accompaniment I can bring voice, singing bowl, piano, small instruments, atmosphere and sound design together into a coherent recording. What matters is a clear agreement about the effect, the length, the pauses and the sound. These works are not a standard music production, because the effect, the calm and the trust matter more here than the music production itself.
Sometimes it is about very unusual technical requests or particular collections. If the material is already digital or a suitable technical solution is realistic, I am happy to check how I can help. If special equipment is needed, I say so openly and look for a sensible route with you.
Three packages depending on the depth of what you have in mind. They all start with the paid initial consultation in the studio shop. If a project comes out of it, the price of the initial consultation is counted into the calculation.
You book an initial consultation of usually 60 to 90 minutes, at the studio or as a video call. I listen to your idea, ask questions and give you an honest assessment. Afterwards you get a short written summary and know whether and how what you want can realistically be done.
After the initial consultation I realise your individual audio undertaking completely, from the concept through recording or editing to the finished file. Suitable for audio time capsules, sound installations, radio play biographies, sensitive audio letters, spiritual audio or other particular sound ideas.
For larger undertakings that need several phases. That can be an audio biography in several parts, an artistic sound series, a longer audio time capsule or a project running over several months. The process is divided into clear steps, so that the effort and the costs stay manageable.
With audio time capsules it is not only about the recording but about a sensible handover and preservation. I go through with you which form is realistic and how the file can be documented safely.
When several voices are involved, I plan the order, the form of recording and the sonic coherence with you. That turns individual contributions into a coherent whole.
For artistic sound ideas I can bring my own recordings, field recordings, sound design, mixing and spatial preparation together. Your idea stays at the centre.
With special sound requests there is no off the shelf process. Three factors make the difference from ordering a standard service directly.
You can book regular studio services directly, because the scope and the process are clear. With special sound requests a conversation beforehand is necessary, so that I can judge the idea, the effect, the material and the effort properly. That care at the outset is the main difference from ordering a standard service directly.
Regular services are clearly bounded. Special sound requests often connect several areas, for example voice, music, atmosphere, restoration, concept, narration and handover. That is exactly why a personal conversation is needed first. That many sidedness needs the conversation beforehand, to decide which elements fit together.
Not every idea can be done exactly as it was first imagined. Sometimes the material, the technology, the time or the budget is missing. I say that openly and look for a sensible version with you rather than selling you something half done. That honesty in advice is unusual in sales terms , and that is exactly why it builds trust.
These three factors make the difference: a personal conversation, a combined audio concept and an honest assessment.
A special audio project is more than a finished file. It can preserve memories, make feelings audible or hold an artistic idea permanently.
The first listen is often when it becomes clear how strongly a voice, a memory or a sonic idea can work. That moment is exactly why projects like these deserve particular care.
The handover is often the most important moment. An audio letter, a radio play or a time capsule can reach people, because voice, music and memory work immediately.
Some audio is listened to regularly, some only on particular days. Both are valuable. What matters is that the project suits your occasion and the people it is made for.
Voices can keep their meaning over many years. A well prepared audio time capsule or family recording can become a personal keepsake later.
With artistic sound projects, a foundation often emerges that you can use again later, for exhibitions, performances or new work.
Over the years a personal audio library can grow out of it, with recordings, ideas and sound works that preserve important people and moments.
A little preparation helps the initial consultation get specific faster. These points are enough as a guide.
Look at the service overview with all the regular studio services first. If what you want clearly fits there, that page is the faster route. If several levels come together or the idea is unusual, you are in the right place here.
Describe the idea, the occasion and the result you want briefly. A few sentences are enough. Examples might be a time capsule, a personal radio play or a sonic idea for a particular place.
With special sound requests the effect often matters more than the technology itself. Should the recording remember, comfort, connect, calm or work artistically? That direction helps with every decision that follows.
Tell me whether material already exists, for example digital recordings, old files or phone recordings. If something should be checked, you can send a short sample in advance.
Is there a date or an occasion? A wedding, a birthday, an exhibition, a funeral, an anniversary or a moment of handover. With fixed dates, please ask early.
Since every project is different, there are no fixed standard prices. A rough idea of the budget helps me suggest fitting options.
Four clear steps from the first conversation to the finished audio file.
You book the initial consultation online in the studio shop. Before the appointment you can write me a short note about what it is about. Extensive preparation is not necessary.
The initial consultation usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. I settle with you whether what you want really belongs here, which idea is behind it and which process makes sense. With sensitive subjects I work particularly calmly and confidentially.
After the conversation you get a short summary and a specific offer. You can go through it all calmly. If you commission the project, the price of the initial consultation is counted into the calculation.
Once you say yes, the work begins with a clear process. You hear interim results, give feedback and get the finished audio file in the agreed format.
A short overview of the studio, the remote process and realistic planning.
The studio is at Bernhard-Göring-Straße 17 in 04107 Leipzig, right in Zentrum-Süd. For conversations, recordings, listening appointments and handovers you can come to the studio directly.
If you cannot come to Leipzig, the initial consultation is possible as a video call. For many concepts that is entirely enough. Recordings at the studio are planned separately where needed.
For special sound requests I use my studio, suitable microphones, the piano, a singing bowl, small instruments, sound design, plugins and my experience in recording, mixing and music production. What really fits, I decide according to your goal. the equipment page. For what you want, I choose the right means.
A sound consultation: 60 to 90 minutes plus a short summary. Simple requested projects: often 4 to 8 weeks. Medium projects: often 8 to 20 weeks. Larger undertakings need more time. With fixed occasions, please ask early.
If a personal place matters, a mobile recording in Leipzig and the surrounding area can make sense. I settle that depending on the project, the distance and the technical effort.
You book the initial consultation online in the studio shop. After booking you get all the details. If a project comes out of it, the price of the initial consultation is counted into the calculation.
The most important answers before you book.
I offer many regular studio services with detailed pages of their own. more than 25 regular standard services with detailed pages of their own.
This request service is only for requests that do not fit a standard category , because they:
• Too individual for a standard category
• In several parts from different disciplines
• Conceptual depth is involved
• Long term support is needed (for example audio time capsules)
Six situations:
• Audio time capsules across decades
• Sound installations for private artistic ideas
• Radio play biographies with several voices
• Audio support for transitions in life
• Meditative and spiritual audio
• Special techniques & very old formats
Purely technical restoration of a single cassette → Audio restoration
A larger conceptual idea (the cassette plus family stories plus a radio play as a personal audio heirloom) → here.
A rule of thumb:
• A clear standard scope → a standard service
• Conceptual, in several parts, unusual → here
60 to 90 minutes, at the studio or by video call.
A paid format, bookable online in the shop.
The first thing settled in the conversation: is it really a special request or a standard service?
After the conversation:
• A written summary

With special sound requests the initial consultation is the sensible way in. It is bookable online in the studio shop, usually takes 60 to 90 minutes and happens at the studio in Leipzig or as a video call. The first important thing settled in the conversation: is what you want really a special sound request, or does a regular studio service suit it better? If a standard page makes more sense, I point you there, for example to the Audio restoration, for a regular music production to the Music production, for a regular CD cover design to the CD cover and CD production, or to the complete service overview. If it is a special sound request, I develop the concept with you, settle the material, the effect, the timing and the budget, and then draw up a specific offer. With sensitive subjects I work calmly, respectfully and confidentially. Write to me beforehand if you are unsure. Everything special starts with a conversation.
