Being Sound Studio

BESPOKE SOUND

Imagine your sonic world.

You've poured intention into every detail of your work — the words, the visuals, the physical space. But an immersive experience is instantly broken by auditory dissonance.

I create bespoke soundscapes for people whose work demands the same level of mastery in its audio as they bring to their craft. Sound that doesn't just accompany your work, but holds it.

Every piece begins with listening: to your work, to its resonance, and to what's being communicated beyond the words. The music is created from an immersion into this world.

WHAT THIS CAN SUPPORT

• Podcasts, courses, and memberships
• Meditation and somatic practices that require functional, environmental audio to regulate the nervous system and deepen focus
• Brands, platforms, and creative projects that need a coherent sonic identity
• Physical spaces, retreats, and installations where sound acts as sonic architecture, shaping the movement and mood of the room

Each project is shaped to fit its specific use, audience, and context.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Every project begins with a conversation about your work, your audience, and the kind of attention the sound needs to hold.

From there, projects take different shapes:

• A single soundscape for a class, meditation, podcast, or specific moment
• A series of pieces for a course, program, or body of recordings
• A full sonic identity, with a theme, variations, and transitions
• Custom sound for a space, composed to support the room itself
• Live sound for retreats and gatherings

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Every collaboration is tailored, but may include:

• One or more original compositions
• Variations or extensions for different contexts and durations
• Thoughtful integration with voice, silence, and pacing
• Clean, ready-to-publish audio files in professional formats
• Ownership for use across your platform and offerings
• Optional ongoing collaboration for mixing, extensions, or regular support

PRICING

What a project costs depends on the kind of sound it asks for.

Environmental & Atmospheric ($400+)
This is functional sound design. Drones, tones, field recordings, and ambient textures meant to act as auditory architecture. Like a wash of color on a wall, these soundscapes create a physical space or state of mind without demanding the listener's direct attention. Ideal for meditations, treatment rooms, or deep-focus practices.

Composed & Structural ($1,500 – $4,000)
This is narrative sound. Melody, arrangement, and structure that develop into a clear, recognizable sonic signature. This work guides the listener through a journey and defines your auditory brand identity. Ideal for podcast themes, course identities, and cohesive brand worlds.

Larger commissions — retreats, platforms, or systems of pieces working together — are scoped on their own.

The discovery call is where we find what your work is actually asking for. It's free, with no expectation beyond seeing if the work fits.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

This work is most aligned with people who:

• Have a clear sense of what you're making — even if not what it sounds like yet
• Have invested in their craft, and understand the difference between curated stock audio and a bespoke sonic identity
• Can give the work the time it needs, rather than needing music tomorrow
• Want sound that acts as an environment, rather than an intrusion
• Value deep listening and want music that is genuinely embodied — composed by a human with a complete musical sensibility, not assembled from algorithms or generated on demand

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

• "Working with Stu has genuinely changed the game for me. He gave both my podcast and my membership a sonic world that people actually remember. We've built an entire archive of original music for meditations and soundscapes together, and I can confidently say my membership would not feel the way it does without his work. The creative process is seamless: clear, collaborative, and so attuned. He listens to your vision, honors your preferences, and then elevates them with his own expertise in a way that feels both grounding and expansive. He's my sound guy forever and I wholeheartedly recommend him as yours."— MAIA BENAIM
