you can use dark music of course as a
brand but
using stark music means that other
brands can use the same music so you
don't get your own music
but that i said that you can have an
audio density that is uh
produced with your bespoke music your
own music but also consists of
supporting music pieces that are more
either published or start music so there
are different ways that you can create
an audio identity

As Sonic Minds, an award-winning sonic branding agency founded in 2004, we design sonic identities that move people, products, and brands. Rooted in Scandinavian design sensibility and heard worldwide, we help brands discover the power of sound – and make it a strategic advantage.

We don't start with sound – we start with understanding. Through discovery workshops, research, and close collaboration, we uncover what truly defines a brand, then translate that essence into audio strategies that drive recognition, emotion, and lasting connection. Music, strategy, and technology work as one in everything we create.

Our expertise spans the full sonic spectrum: audio identities, audio logos, music composition and production, UX and UI sound design, voiceover, sound design for products and video games, audio audits, and end-to-end audio branding strategy – partnering with clients from first note to final implementation across every touchpoint.

Our global client portfolio includes ASUS, Arla, Volvo, Bang & Olufsen, DSB, Carlsberg Group, tabii, Ørsted, Telenor, Maersk, Jabra, and Danske Spil – brands that know the ones that sound distinctive are the ones that stand out.

With teams and collaborators across Copenhagen, Stockholm, London, Berlin, New York, Riyadh, Istanbul, Sydney, and beyond – spanning Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and more – we craft sonic identities that resonate locally while working globally.

In Sonic Minds, we believe that when we break the silence, it has to create more meaning than the silence itself. Otherwise, we’re just creating noise.
