About us
We are interested in the phenomenon of how sound is perceived in visual media, and how the soundscape of visual media can alter this perception. We are also concerned with the challenge of algorithmically analyzing manual and synchronous sound generation for a visual template, such as that created by a Foley artist. Years of experience in scoring films, television movies, documentaries, series, and radio plays have provided us with valuable insights into this topic. Our affiliated dubbing studio offers us profound glimpses into the highly artistic and creative work of the Foley artist. New technologies, such as AI-supported sound generation, make it possible for anyone to generate virtually any conceivable sound. It is unfortunate, however, that the absence of the "spirit" of a sound design is often still noticeable. For us, the AI approach of simply finding the lowest common denominator as the result of an AI search is qualitatively insufficient. Therefore, we avoid a generic approach to sound quality; instead, we focus on the essence of sound design and sound creation, implementing these elements as natively as possible in our apps.
Unfortunately, our applications are only available for OSX. However, we intend to make the OTGER program available as a web browser-based version.

The current version, Beta 0.02, initially provides the steps for any given scene. We are continuously working on expanding the functionality to include additional soundtracks. In future, we intend to offer a web browser-based application of this.
OTGER
Automated Sounddesign Application
Automated Sounddesign Application
OTGER is a program for automated sound design. This application will revolutionize the workflow and cost of sound design. Its goal is to deliver a complete, fully automated sound design for a film script. This sound design includes the movements of all characters, the correct selection of the surface they move on, the movements of all characters, and the appropriate environment, indoors or outdoors. The handling of objects will also be integrated. Ultimately, the sound design process will be completely automated, creating a soundtrack consisting solely of noises. This can be used as a soundtrack for film export without dialogue or as support for film mixing.
Diffrent foot wear available

TONbar
Extend your Foley Stage
Extend your Foley Stage
The TONbar application is designed to enhance and expand the sound capabilities of Foley recordings and the existing Foley Stage. This app is intended as an add-on for sound effects recording in the studio. It complements the hand-generated sounds used to create challenging soundscapes, such as footsteps on broken glass or the complex sonic characteristics of footsteps on creaking parquet flooring. There are many applications where this app provides valuable support, expanding the often limited possibilities for sound creation. Depending on the sound settings, it can help to approximate the original sound or create a more artificial effect.
The app can be used as a substitute or an add-on. It is triggered by an audio signal. For this, a USB microphone is required and should be placed near the area where the footsteps are intended. For other sounds, such as movement noises, the microphone can be positioned near the upper body using a tripod or placed on a table using a mini tripod.
