Sound creation · Tootak
An audio story is also written through sound.
From writing to mastering, Tootak handles the entire sound creation chain — with the same level of care for voices, ambiances, music and rhythm.

Inside the session
Building a sonic world, layer by layer.
Each element has a narrative function. Together, they create a scene the listener can almost see.
- performance, intelligibility and proximity.
- setting, distance, perspective and off-screen space.
- gestures, textures and movement.
- events, tension and realism.
- rhythm, emotion, breathing space and transitions.
- the overall coherence and the series’ identity.
What the listener cannot see must be heard with precision.
