Our Mission
Approaching challenges through sound.
At Eiravaein Works LLC, we create dynamic sonic experiences through exploratory field recording and coruscant soundsmithing. We are a sound design, implementation, and field recording operation that is committed to serving the needs of a constantly evolving society through impactful and focused audio projects.
Whether a project is one of our own designs, or a collaborative partnership with a motivated ally, we approach them all with a set of interwoven principles:
- Create: Works, products, and outcomes that have gravitas and semiosis.
- Collaborate: Interdisciplinary approaches produce the best overall solutions.
- Give: As a centered and constant practice, however and whenever one is able.
- Protect: The efforts, respect, and access of the threatened or unnoticed.
- Improve: Make something better without deleterious collateral effects.
- Reduce: Suffering, locks, and waste.
- Conserve: Sound, nature, and balance.
- Educate: Through methodology, practice, and process.
Engaged Audio that Tells Stories
While we consistently provide an ever-growing product vault of unique SFX libraries, our central efforts are rooted in collaborative projects that aim to create new perspectives. Regardless of subject, application, location, medium, or media type we provide audio assets, implementations, and frameworks that move beyond the traditional audio production world. Whether the need is exceptionally detailed field recordings, diagnostic audio capture and analysis, preservation audio and archival management, digital or physical implementations, synthetically designed soundscapes, custom-built libraries, or anything in-between, we develop solutions per our client and collaborators' specific needs. Particular to sound, our methodology always includes certain foundational practices:
- Refine the intended semiotic effect that is or can be drawn from each sound source
- Cultivate the conceptual relationships with the stimuli
- Weigh the payload on the perceptual pathways of the auditory and other sensory systems
- Account for both direct and indirect audiences
