What should the sound say here? That is the first question. Whether it takes music, a voice, an atmosphere or silence is decided after that.
Whoever discusses the concept with me is also at the desk for the mix. Nothing passes through three departments, and a question does not take a week to answer.
Uli Wirth
The guitar took me to the United States: first Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, then Berklee College of Music in Boston. After that New York, marketing at the jazz label Verve at Universal Music. Ten years altogether. Back in Berlin I opened the studio in 2000, then as MainBerlin Audio Production, today pangram audio.
Sound design, film music, voice recording with direction, mixing and mastering ever since. For Coca-Cola, Samsung, Mercedes-Benz, DHL and John Deere, for rbb, for museums from Naumburg to Barcelona. In recent years more and more often in the room rather than in the stereo image: ambisonics, Dolby Atmos, domes.
Who joins in
Depending on the project, regular collaborators come in. What a project needs is decided by the project, not by a team page.
Peer Neumann
Piano and drums. He plays lyrically, he plays free jazz, and he is house pianist at the Berliner Ensemble. When a piece should not sound like a sample library, he plays it.
Framewerk
Media production for film and visual formats. Short distances when picture and sound are made together.
Klassenstimme e.V.
Klassenstimme e.V. has existed since 2026, a non-profit association for podcast clubs in schools. It grew out of this work and has its own remit: young people get the equipment and the time to tell their stories themselves.
