about us

// berlin°_soundSpheres will be founded in 2009 by berlin based composer and sound designer bernd schultheis.

as an internationally acclaimed composer of instrumental, vocal and electronic music he creates a sculptural and multidimensional sound world for your projects by combining music and sound design as an integrated compositional process.

on the way from the initial idea and concept to sound or music recording to electro acoustical transformation and spatialization during the post production steps, bernd schultheis controls and supervises every single step of the creative process. from location and field recording to foley production, SFX, and surround mixing everything underlies the same consistent artistical concept.

music is recorded in sessions with real soloists or orchestras. there is no keyboard sample orchestra unless needed for aesthetic reasons. no common standard sampling database sounds. every soundbit is created from scratch by playing an instrument or by programming electronic instruments and spatialization tools that are taylored to your project's needs.

bernd schultheis prototypes and developes his work within dedicated software environments like Open Music, Max/MSP, PD, Csound, SuperCollider, Modalys, Diphone and AudioSculpt. editing, mixing and mastering is done within Nuendo and Pro Tools.

bernd schultheis works with outstanding musicians, sound artists and engineers. the studio, situated in the very center of berlin, is suited for up to 16 discrete channels of surround sound in any available 2d or 3d configuration. besides the standard surround formats also special listening situations are featured.

bernd schultheis' writing of new orchestral film scores to Metropolis (Fritz Lang, D 1926) - premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival 2001 -, Faust (Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, D 1926) & Les Deux Timides (René Clair, F 1927) brought him international acclaim. he composes music and designs sound for ZDF/arte documentary and feature film productions and radioplays comissioned by several radio stations. His music is being played in concert halls and theatres throughout the world.
