What does
Audiotheque is a privately held, boutique sound studio based in a former Freinet school at Karel van Hulthemstraat 45 in Ghent, Belgium, offering an integrated suite of audio production services including original music composition, sound design and mixing, voice-over casting and recording, podcast production, sonic branding, and Dolby Atmos immersive mixing. The studio upgraded its facilities with Dolby Atmos technology in 2024 and maintains specialised ambisonics capability for VR and AR projects, positioning it as a full-service provider rather than a single-discipline supplier. Its customer base spans Belgian and international advertising agencies, broadcasters, brands, museums, government bodies, and film/streaming producers, with notable projects including the complete soundtrack for the Netflix original film 'Ferry', sonic branding for VRT één, campaigns for Ray-Ban, AXA, and Alpro, and government work for the Belgian Federal Government and Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee.
The studio operates on a project-based professional services model with custom-quoted pricing based on scope, billing clients per engagement rather than on subscription or recurring contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on portfolio reputation, agency briefs, and direct client relationships in Belgium and selectively internationally. Revenue is generated entirely from one stream — custom audio production services — with no disclosed subscription, licensing, or productised offering. The creative team of at least four named professionals (creative director, productional manager, studio manager, sound engineer) delivers work spanning advertising campaigns, feature film scoring, podcast documentary production, immersive museum installations, and VR experiences from a single Ghent location with capacity to serve international clients remotely.
