MorrowSound is a sound design company that specializes in multichannel audio. Our work ranges from natural ambiences and generative atmospheres, to dramatic narratives that use sound and space to tell a story. Sound design is about creating an atmosphere that shapes how people understand the space around them. MorrowSound creates coherent, compelling, and omnidirectional designs to achieve a range of affective goals from activation and engagement to stress reduction and acoustic privacy. Our design philosophy can be adapted to multiple spaces and in all of our work, we consider the function and feeling of the space, the people that interact with and inhabit it, and key narrative elements that help us experience a story.
