Sound Design and Music for Film, Radio Plays and Theatre

„My world is sound“
Helen Neikes – SOUNDWEAVER Berlin

Sound, music and instruments have always been integral to my life.

My fascination with sound began in childhood using numerous cassette recorders, progressed to live acts with synthesizers run by Atari’s, to silent film scores, compositions for children’s theatre and radio plays, through to my current work since 2004, as a sound designer.

I’ve worked on numerous and varied TV and feature film productions. I’m passionate about TV and feature-length documentaries and am constantly inspired by directors who devote themselves to important and real-life issues.

I also mix many of the TV films that I’ve designed the sound for. Hence, as a sound designer, I inherently understand the elements that are required and succeed for a professional mix. My work is also characterized by exceptional mix preparation.

My over 20 years of experience as a bass player in live bands and preoccupation with electronic music and sound synthesis have influenced my compositions. My music is inspired by new sounds and is often spontaneous: atmospherically orchestrated with tension and energy thanks to sound layering, supplemented by the use of acoustic instruments, and if required, interwoven with sound design elements and manic driving beats.
