The discipline

Sound Performance: intentional sound management in environments.

Every environment has a sonic signature. The question is whether it happens by chance or is understood, planned and managed in accordance with human experience and the purpose of the space.

Why it exists

Sound can welcome, guide and elevate an experience. It can also disorganize, exhaust and intrude.

Sound Performance systematically, processually and progressively organizes — based on real-world facts, evidence and experience — the parameters required for the desired Sound Performance, from projects in development to established environments.

The starting point is not equipment. It is the person in the environment: whoever arrives, works, converses, serves, rests or stays.
