This page is for ideas that do not fit a regular studio service: audio time capsules, personal radio plays, sound installations, audio letters or spiritual audio works. Is your idea unusual or very personal? I am happy to look at it with you.
You do not need to know anything yet. Write me a short note about your idea, we work out the rest together.
A few sentences by email, WhatsApp or phone are enough: the occasion, the idea, any material you have and the result you want. Already have audio files? Feel free to send a short sample along.
If what you want fits a regular service, I tell you directly. If it really is a special sound request, the initial consultation is the next step.
We start with a paid initial consultation, usually 60 to 90 minutes. There we develop the concept, and afterwards you get a written offer.
Many audio requests fit my regular studio services: a clear process, a clear scope, bookable directly. But some requests do not fit any standard category, because they are too individual, emotional, artistic or technically particular. For example an audio time capsule, a sound installation, a personal radio play or a spiritual audio work. This page is here for exactly those ideas.
If what you want clearly fits a regular service, the matching standard page is faster: Audio restoration, Music production or Sampling. Not sure? We work it out together in the initial consultation.
More examples below. All projects start with the paid initial consultation in the studio shop.
For ideas that need more concept, more feeling, or that connect several areas of audio work.
An audio time capsule keeps a message for a later moment, for example an 18th birthday or a wedding. I help with the recording, the editing and a safe way to preserve it until the handover.
For sound installations, performances or free art projects I support you with the concept, recording and sound editing. What matters most is understanding your idea and the effect you want.
A personal radio play connects memories, voices, music and atmosphere, for example as a family story or a tribute to someone special.
I support you with audio letters, personal messages or recordings for weddings and farewells. I handle these moments calmly and with respect.
For meditation, sound journeys or mantras I bring voice, singing bowl, piano and sound design together into a calm recording. We discuss the effect and length beforehand.
For unusual technical requests or particular collections I check how and whether I can help, and tell you honestly what is realistic.
Three packages depending on the scope of your project. They all start with the paid initial consultation; if a project follows, its price is counted in.
60 to 90 minutes at the studio or by video call. I listen to your idea and give you an honest assessment, then a short written summary.
After the initial consultation I realise your project completely, from the concept through recording to the finished file.
For larger undertakings over several months, for example an audio biography in several parts. The process is divided into clear steps, so effort and costs stay manageable.
With audio time capsules we also discuss the handover and a safe way to preserve the file.
If several voices are involved, I plan the order and the recording form so a coherent whole emerges.
For artistic sound ideas I bring your own recordings, field recordings and sound design together, your idea stays at the centre.
With special sound requests there is no off-the-shelf process. Three points make the difference from a standard service.
You can book regular services directly. With special sound requests a conversation is needed first, so I can judge the idea, the effort and the effect properly.
Special sound requests often connect several areas, for example voice, music, atmosphere and narration. In the conversation we work out which elements fit together.
Not every idea can be done exactly as first imagined. If material, time or budget is missing, I say so openly and look for a sensible version with you.
A special audio project is more than a finished file, it preserves memories and feelings.
The first listen often shows how strongly a voice or a memory can work.
The handover is often the most important moment, when voice, music and memory work immediately.
Some audio is listened to often, some only on particular days, both are valuable.
A well prepared audio time capsule or family recording can become a personal keepsake later.
Sound installations can be reused later, for exhibitions or new work.
Over the years your own personal audio library can grow out of it.
A little preparation helps the initial consultation get specific faster.
Look at the service overview first. If your request clearly fits there, that is the faster route.
Describe the idea, the occasion and the result you want briefly, a few sentences are enough.
Should the recording remember, comfort, connect or work artistically? That helps with every decision that follows.
Tell me whether material already exists, for example old files or phone recordings. A short sample helps.
Is there a fixed date, such as a wedding or an anniversary? Please ask early in that case.
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. Extensive preparation is not necessary.
60 to 90 minutes, at the studio or by video call. We clarify your idea and the right process. With sensitive subjects I work calmly and confidentially.
You get a short summary and a specific offer. If you commission the project, the price of the initial consultation is counted in.
Once you say yes, the work begins. You hear interim results and get the finished file in the agreed format at the end.
A short overview of the studio, the remote process and realistic planning.
The studio is at Bernhard-Göring-Straße 17 in 04107 Leipzig, in Zentrum-Süd. For conversations, recordings and handovers you can come directly.
If you cannot come to Leipzig, the initial consultation is possible as a video call. Recordings at the studio are planned separately if needed.
I use my studio, suitable microphones, piano, singing bowl and sound design, depending on what fits your request. More on the equipment page.
Consultation: 60 to 90 minutes. Simple projects: 4 to 8 weeks. Medium projects: 8 to 20 weeks. Larger undertakings need more time, please ask early.
If a personal place matters, a mobile recording in Leipzig and the surrounding area is possible. We settle that depending on the project.
You book the initial consultation online in the studio shop, then get all the details. If a project follows, its price is counted in.
The most important answers before you book.
I offer more than 25 regular standard services with their own pages. This request service is only for requests that fit no standard category, because they are too individual, in several parts, conceptually deep or long term, 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 cassette → Audio restoration.
A larger conceptual idea (cassette plus family stories as a radio play) → here.
A rule of thumb: a clear standard scope → a standard service, conceptual and unusual → here.
60 to 90 minutes, at the studio or by video call, paid and bookable online in the shop. We first settle whether it is really a special request.
Afterwards you get a written summary and an offer; if a job follows, the price of the initial consultation is counted in.
1. A sound consultation: advice on the concept only.
2. A requested audio project: advice + complete realisation.
3. A large audio undertaking: in several parts over months with support throughout.
All the packages start with the initial consultation in the studio shop.
For example: a message to a newborn child to be opened on their 18th birthday, an audio letter for a daughter's wedding, or a grandfather's message to grandchildren not yet born. With support with preservation over decades.
Anonymised examples: an audio time capsule for a newborn, a radio play biography about a mother who had died, with eight speakers, an audio letter from a terminally ill father to his unborn daughter, and a carefully restored old family recording.
Clear limits:
• No voice manipulation for deception
• No unlawful audio forensics
• No content with potential to harm
• No politically problematic projects
• No breaches of copyright
The price depends on scope (hours or days), complexity, the studio resources used, material effort and delivery format. With time capsules, preservation is added. The specific offer comes after the initial consultation.
• A consultation: 60 to 90 minutes
• A simple requested project: 4 to 8 weeks
• A medium requested project: 8 to 20 weeks
• A large undertaking: months to a year
• Audio time capsules: a short recording, preservation over decades
With particular care and respect. With audio for mourning or difficult biographical recordings we communicate openly about the emotional side, additional appointments are possible, and confidentiality goes without saying.
This page is for private individuals, musicians, artists and families.
For professional projects (your own business, brand, courses) please use the separate business page.
The initial consultation is the right way in: bookable online in the studio shop, usually 60 to 90 minutes, at the studio in Leipzig or by video call. If it is a special request, I develop the concept with you and draw up a specific offer afterwards. With sensitive subjects I work calmly, respectfully and confidentially.
