PROJECTS WEARE INVOLVED IN
NIGHT OF LIGHT
We are sending a warning signal to our government about our situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the moment we are not allowed to do our jobs!
The aim is to enter into a political dialogue with politicians about how the billion-dollar, extremely heterogeneous branch of the event industry can be saved from a massive wave of insolvency and how hundreds of thousands of jobs can be saved across Germany. The event industry is a complex industry that combines many different trades and special disciplines. For this reason, the event industry has no central lobby.
NIGHT OF LIGHT
MARVEL universe of super heroes
After a successful exhibition in Philadephia, MARVEL: Universe of Super Heroes moved to his next stop in Edmonton, at the TELUS WORLD of SCIENCE. Here the show celebrated its grand re-opening in october 2019.
Together, with our creative collaborateur Sebastian Purfuerst from lem-studios, we created a 32.5 discrete channel soundscape, across 1000sqm exhibition space. We designed five scenographic chapters with an overall running time of 30min. Also we were responsible for the technical direction of the acoustical scenography.
The music for this exhibition has been composed by LORNE BALFE.
Produced by LORNE BALFE and HANS ZIMMER.

MARVEL universe of super heroes
After a successful exhibition in Seattle with over 350,000 visitors, MARVEL: Universe of Super Heroes moved to his next stop in Philadelphia, at the world-famous Franklin Institute. Here the show celebrated its grand re-opening in April 2019.
Curated by professor Benjamin Saunders along with a team of experts from inside the comic book, fashion and entertainment industry, the international exhibit honors both the creators behind the myths and the fans who sustain them. The spacial, visual and immersive language of the show reflects their visions and creations and takes visitors on a journey through a walkable, 3D comic book.
Combining the art and history that shape the MARVEL universe and its influence on global pop culture, the exhibit features famous artifacts and original art, numerous movie props, spectacular sculptures, as well as immersive and interactive exhibits. Visitors can follow the process from idea to art on different layers of story telling and experience MARVEL s fantastic creative output from both, the consumers and the creators side.

MAGIC CITY at DRESDEN / MUNICH / STOCKHOLM
The Brooklyn Street Art blog about the sound of the MAGIC CITY exhibition: "...Of particular note is the sound design throughout the exhibition by Sebastian Purfuerst and Hendrik Neumerkel of LEM Studios that frequently evokes an experiential atmosphere of incidental city sounds like sirens, rumbling trains, snatches of conversations and musical interludes. Played at varying volumes, locations, and textures throughout the exhibition, the evocative city soundscape all adds to a feeling of unexpected possibilities and an increased probability for new discovery."

IMMERSIVE MULTICHANNEL AUDIO PROCESSING
We are proud to announce, in association with LEM-studios:
IMAP
IMAP (immersive multichannel audio processing) is a freely configurable, three-dimensional audio space for exhibitions, showrooms and live events.
IMAP offers the maximum in artistic freedom for soundtracks, sonic enviroments and sound installations to bring a space to life.
INTRODUCTION
Todays productions increasingly require special solutions for creating customized three-dimensional sound fields; a fresh, affordable approach with exciting possibilities that offer creative and financial independence from standardized norms.
IMAP enables us to create three-dimensional sound fields with up to 64 freely positionable speakers in any public space. The multichannel audio stream is always mixed on-site to get the most out of the characteristics of the space.
Three-dimensional positioning of sonic events, time alignments, speaker correction curves and balancing the mix in real-time combine to give the sonic sphere the final touch,maximizing the atmosphere and intensity of your exhibition or showroom.
THE IMAP PHILOSPHY AND WORKFLOW
The important milestones for every production need careful planning and realization. Our productions are usually split into four main phases:
#01 Conceptual Work, Technical Planning/CAD and Budget Management
#02 Multichannel Field Recording and Studio Recording Sessions
#03 Multichannel Productions
#04 Audio Setup Installation and Technical Supervision On-Site
#05 Acoustic Measurement and On-Site Mixdown
This module-based workflow puts our support exactly where you need it. Whether you have a full production or you need an on-site mix at a location with pre-produced material, we are there to bring your sonic environment to life.
"WE SEE OURSELVES AS SONIC ARCHITECTS OF EMOTIONS."
Every production needs careful planning and adjustments to make it fit your needs. We work together with our clients to develop specially customized acoustic concepts for a breathtaking emotional experience covering all the dramaturgic and musical ideas, sound design and the necessary technical requirements.
This all starts with the free flow of ideas, initial audio sketches, test installations, technical solution recommendations and pre-productions. The work continues then through to a detailed sound concept and a working, reliable customized audio setup including CAD plans and an easy-to-use playback system.
Of course we also look after the budget, providing you with the information you need on where to get the right gear for the right price.
"NOTHING S BIGGER THAN REAL LIFE."
We love working in the studio, but it takes the right ingredients to create something truly stunning. So we don't rely on samples and pre-produced material. Instead, we go out and record the sonic magic where it happens.
We capture it for you at the source, from the sound of a London tube to Indian singing in a temple in Karnataka to a 30-channel surround recording during a European football match at Cologne s Rhine-Main-Stadium.
We can also offer you the kind of high-end surround recording session featuring a choir or various classical instruments that we did for THE URBAN PLANET production at Expo Shanghai 2010.
"WE NEVER SEE THE SAME THING WHEN WE ALSO HEAR; WE DON'T HEAR THE SAME THING WE SEE AS WELL." (MICHEL CHION)
We and our artistic collaborators and partners are experienced musicians and producers covering a wide range of musical styles and directions. We are passionate about making your sonic vision come true, from intimate and touching musical performances to epic blockbuster soundtracks, or from gritty indie analogue sounds to contemporary experimental electronica.
Our productions are always a fine blend of musical composition and sound design. As experienced professional audiovisual designers we are always meticulous about supporting the action on-screen with audio that opens up new dimensions.
"LOCK AND LOAD"
The proper setup of the equipment on location is the essential step to making it all work. We can supervise the audio setup installation and assist the technicians as needed.
"WE TURN YOUR LOCATION INTO OUR STUDIO."
We carefully evaluate the characteristics of the particular sonic space. The studio is a laboratory where the surgical work is done, but the big picture comes together in the public space with its distinctive properties. This is where the magic is supposed to happen.
We add the final polish with our mobile studio, coming to your location to make everything sound the way it should.
But first things first: Before all the gear is installed and the sound takes wings, we conduct precise acoustic measurements of the space to understand its characteristics and acoustic behaviour. This is a crucial starting point for every successful on-site mix.

Media Installation "Blue Planet"
Having reached the highest point of the "Road of Crisis," from 12 meters above the ground, visitors will have a unique view of our planet and the pavilion's main media installation: "Blue Planet."
The visitors experience five spectacular metamorphoses of the hemisphere, which go along with a visible dynamic of change and adaptation. The Earth is now telling its own story.
Media Installation "Under One Roof
Reaching the exciting conclusion of the "Road of Solutions," visitors will find their way into the heart of the "Blue Planet" and experience the history of civilization in a fascinating 360 degree panorama show.
The final message "We only have one world" reiterates the crucial point: we urgently need to act – both as a global community and as individuals. Our future lies in the hands of each and every one of us.
PRODUCT LAUNCH IN GREECE
Lavelle 313 was in charge for conception, planning, evaluation and realizing of all technical issues for this event and it started
with our 360° idea. But this was a part only, of a 5 day event with different workshops and evening events each day.
