Custom Eyra
Rooms with Something to Say
Custom Eyra is what happens when artists, museums and galleries realize they need more than just silence – they need sound that actually belongs there.
We plant an Eyra Player and hook it up to motion sensors or timers. Walk past a painting? The soundscape notices. Spend time in a heritage room? The audio might gradually reveal new layers. It’s like giving spaces a pulse without making them pushy about it.
We design custom sound solutions for every scenario – want dolls that start talking when visitors approach? Done. Need visitor voices to echo mysteriously in certain rooms? We’ve got you covered. Historic buildings that should whisper their stories? That’s our specialty.
We’ve been testing this at places like Stundars Open-Air Museum, where century-old houses are finally breaking their silence. Turns out they had plenty to say – they just needed the right technology to say it.
Think your space could use some intelligent audio? Drop us a line and we’ll talk through what’s possible.

Making Spaces Speak
Black Box Genesis
When Valentina and Bekim from Black Box Genesis reached out about their exhibition “The Shell Cracked,” they had a beautifully strange request: could we make their metal rock formation respond to visitors with sound?
The concept was poetic and precise. As visitors approached the sculptural installation’s dark openings – meant to represent portals to the unconscious – a motion sensor would trigger the poem “The Peaks” to emerge from the depths. Meanwhile, constant guttural throat sounds would bubble up from the formation, creating an ever-present sense that something alive was breathing beneath the surface.
Stefan worked with narrator Annika Sillander to capture the poem’s haunting delivery, then layered it with the organic throat sounds that give the installation its living pulse. Andreas engineered a sophisticated positioning system that triggers the poem with precise timing based on exactly where visitors stand relative to the stone formation. The Eyra Player handles the delicate balance – always breathing, occasionally speaking, responding to each visitor’s curiosity with perfect spatial awareness.
The result feels like discovering something ancient that’s been waiting underground, finally ready to share its secrets with anyone brave enough to lean in and listen.
Susanne Broända
When Susanne reached out about her exhibition “Look Within,” she had a vision that was both poetic and technically challenging: could we make her burnt forest installation come alive with the sounds of destruction and renewal?
Her concept was striking – visitors would enter a forest clearing where charred trees reached toward the ceiling while flames seemed to roar beneath their feet. But as they looked up, they’d hear birdsong drifting down from the treetops, suggesting life persisting even after devastation.
Stefan created layered soundscapes that captured this delicate balance between destruction and hope. Fire sounds rumbled at ground level while bird calls floated overhead, triggered by motion sensors as visitors stepped into the clearing. The Eyra Player ensured that each visit felt different – sometimes the flames would dominate, other times the birdsong would offer comfort.
As Susanne puts it, the installation explores “the fragile balance between joy and sorrow, growth and vulnerability.” The sound design doesn’t just support this theme – it makes visitors feel the forest breathing around them, healing and growing even as it bears the scars of what it’s survived.
Sound as part of the art
