On our last post we promised a formal introduction. Today we introduce Daniel Deboy, one of the co-founders of DELTA Soundworks.

Daniel is passionate about projects that create awareness and have a positive impact on society. At DELTA Soundworks, he plays a crucial role in keeping everything running smoothly, ensuring that workflows are efficient and projects stay on track. With his engineering expertise, he oversees the technical planning of our projects and provides expert consultation on sound engineering. His unique balance of creativity and technical knowledge challenges us to find the best solutions, and his keen ears for both detail and the bigger picture makes him an invaluable part of our team.

Daniel’s passion for audio started at the age of 13 when he used a Soundblaster card as a sampler to create his first electronic tunes. As Daniel learned the trumpet and discovered his love for jazz and blues, his passion for sound grew, driving his ambition to record warm and clean sound, while deepening his appreciation for acoustics.

After two years of studying physics in his hometown Heidelberg, Daniel shifted his focus to audio engineering, specializing in acoustics and signal processing at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria, with a diploma in sound-field capture and higher-order ambisonics. He later was invited to work as a researcher at CERN in Geneva, developing an acoustic monitoring system for the Large Hadron Collider, where witnessing the discovery of the Higgs boson reinforced his belief in the power of pursuing ideas. This experience, combined with his entrepreneurial drive, led him to freelance as a recording and mixing engineer, until he met Ana, who became the perfect sparring partner for bringing DELTA Soundworks to life.

When he’s not working on sound, you can find Daniel dancing to swing music from the roaring 20s. It’s a fun and carefree hobby that always puts a smile on his face!

Yodel Your Way Up the Yomi Adventure Trail!

We're thrilled to announce our involvement with Europa-Park's "Yomi Adventure Trail". This isn't just any trail; it's a meticulously crafted auditory and visual adventure that transports you straight to the heart of the Austrian Alps.

Our journey in creating this unique experience began with a challenge: how to deliver immersive audio that withstands the noisy backdrop of an outdoor amusement park. The solution? Advanced virtual simulations that allowed us to model and adjust the sound beforehand, ensuring that each sound element perfectly fits its environment on location. This was no small feat. The outdoor setting introduced variables that typically dilute or mask sounds, but with our innovative approach using spatial audio technologies, we turned these challenges into opportunities to optimise the visitor's experience.

As visitors ascend the trail, they encounter an evolving soundscape that reflects the changing altitudes of the Alps. Starting with the gentle meadow and progressing to the distinct calls of alpine wildlife at the mountaintop, our audio design enhances the sense of adventure and ascent.

So next time you venture onto the "Yomi Adventure Trail", let yourself be fully immersed in the vibrant soundscape of the alpine fauna.

Thank you to the whole team for the wonderful collaboration!

Today is the official launch of Europa-Park's newest epic ride: Voltron Nevera! 🎢⚡️

We are so happy to announce our contribution to this amazing new ride!

For this electrifying project, we had the privilege of creating the soundscapes. Through the use of spatial audio and VR simulation techniques, we made sure that "Voltron" isn't just about surrounding riders with sound—it's about placing them right in the middle of the story. The extensive pre-show sets the stage with Tesla-themed narratives that create an atmosphere charged with anticipation and energy. Every sound you hear was carefully chosen to pull you deeper into the world of Tesla's innovations.

Thank you to all who contributed to the success of the project!

Soundscapes: The Sonic Identity of an Environment

The importance of soundscapes extends far beyond their aesthetic value; they hold the power to influence our emotions, behaviours, and even our well-being.

But what exactly are soundscapes?

Soundscapes are the sonic landscape of a particular place, encompassing all the sounds that occur naturally and those created by humans. This concept, introduced by Canadian composer and environmentalist R. Murray Schafer, underlines the significance of sound in shaping our experiences and interactions with the spaces around us.

Each location possesses a unique soundscape that contributes to its identity. The soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause sees the soundscape of a given region as the sum of three separate sound sources:

ılılı 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲: sounds created by nature
lıılı 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲: sounds created by animals
ı||ıı 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲: sounds created by humans

In the context of themed attractions planning and sound design, integrating soundscapes can dramatically enhance the visitor experience. Our objective is to craft soundscapes that are not only pleasant but also align seamlessly with the surrounding space, ultimately enriching the quality and authenticity of the experience and providing a profound level of immersion.

In crafting the sound for "Pirates in Batavia" at Europa-Park, our focus was on authentically recreating an Indonesian soundscape to ensure a fully immersive and convincing sonic environment. From the Indonesian stilt village to the spice market and jungle settings, meticulous attention to detail was crucial. This involved integrating authentic fauna and language elements into the background sounds, enhancing the overall realism and transporting visitors into the heart of the experience. (https://lnkd.in/dzct7Hc)

Soundscapes are not merely background noise; they are a vital component of our environment, offering unique insights into the essence of each location.

As the human experience is inherently multi-sensory, any attempt to convey an environment or tell a story without acknowledging the role of sound, is incomplete. Neglecting soundscapes deprives people of a holistic understanding and immersion into a place or narrative.

By embracing and integrating soundscapes into dark rides, museums, and other attractions, we can enhance an understanding of the space, creating more immersive and meaningful experiences that resonate with visitors on a deeper level.

As Johan Ahrenfeldt, exhibition technologist at Moesgaard Museum beautifully put it: ”𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳 “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦” 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵”
