THNDR

We are an Amsterdam based audio studio specialized in sonic branding

A thunder flash creates anticipation. It reels you in and puts you on the edge of your seat. Then it releases. And the clap confirms what you just saw. The anticipation is resolved.

That's exactly how we approach your brand's audio. We create moments that captivate, build emotional tension, and deliver memorable impact. Every sound we craft carries the intention and intuition that comes from years of musical training and real-world experience.

From Studio to Symphony

Our work spans the full spectrum of musical expression. From crafting intimate electronic soundscapes to collaborating with the Metropole Orchestra, we move fluidly between musical worlds.

This versatility allows us to find the perfect sonic approach for each project, whether it requires the precision of electronic production or the emotional depth of acoustic instrumentation.

Artisanal Approach to Audio Branding

We approach every sonic branding project with an artisanal mindset, drawing from our conservatory training and deep understanding of how sound shapes emotion and memory.

Our Amsterdam studio houses a collection of rare and vintage instruments, each chosen for their unique character. Every piece we create carries the imperfections and soul that make it distinctly human and unmistakably yours.
