Luftrum

I’m Søren, the Danish sound designer behind Luftrum. Since 2008, I have been sculpting synth sounds and creating sample libraries.

I have always been drawn to the art of sound. There is a special kind of magic in the “zone” where time disappears and the only thing that matters is the creative connection between you and the synth. It is here that I shape those elusive sonic textures that exist only in your imagination. If this resonates with you, then you already understand…

Over the years, my customer list has grown to include a diverse range of creators, from Grammy and Oscar winners and A-list record producers to globe-trotting DJs and aspiring bedroom producers. My sounds have fueled their creative vision and found their way into countless albums, video games, and major blockbuster productions.

I have also had the privilege of collaborating with industry leaders such as Apple, Native Instruments, Steinberg, ROLI, and U-He, to name a few.

But it’s not all about business – giving back is important to me. From 2011 to 2020, I organized an annual fundraising initiative that united audio companies and creators worldwide. Together, we raised over $260,000 for causes like Save the Children, Plastic Oceans, WWF, and MusiCares. Today, I am a corporate member of WWF, supporting their global work for a sustainable future and actions against climate change.

While Luftrum is my own creative playground, I love bringing in other sound designers to collaborate on projects. It’s a way to keep things fresh and explore new sonic territories. Being a one-man operation means I have the freedom to pursue my own vision, plus, the coffee is always free – and my boss has excellent taste in synths!

Speaking about coffee. To fuel my sound design sessions, I have become an avid coffee aficionado – life is simply too short for bad coffee (I even roast my own beans). I unwind by listening to music on vinyl and occasionally enjoy a good game of chess. Those familiar with my output will also recognize my particular affinity for everything 80s.

Have a listen to the sounds below, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with what you hear.

Thanks for reading!

“If you haven’t got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble…” – Bob Hope.

From 2011 to 2020, I organized an annual fundraising initiative that united audio companies and creators worldwide. Together, we raised over $260,000 for global causes, including $185,000 for Save the Children, $17,000 for Plastic Oceans, $30,000 for WWF, and $31,000 for MusiCares. Below, you will find some of the diplomas we received in recognition of these efforts.

Today, I continue this commitment as a corporate member of WWF supporting their global work for a sustainable future and actions against climate change. This is made possible by donations to the the Field Recording library and your support across all the releases in the Luftrum portfolio. Thanks to your support, Luftrum is one of the 10 largest corporate sponsors of WWF in Denmark.
