    Jaka Berger - Space battle sound design
    For this Space Battle project, I created the complete sound design, from the atmospheric soundtrack to individual sound effects. I use a modular synthesizer as my primary tool for creating original sound designs, shaping unique textures, laser weapons, explosions, spacecraft movement, impacts, and other sci-fi effects from the ground up. For the soundtrack, I combine virtual instruments with electronic sound sources, creating an immersive cinematic environment where music, atmosphere, and sound effects work together as a unified sonic experience.…

    For IAM – Institute and Academy for Multimedia, I developed an original sonic logo and brand music theme, creating a distinctive audio identity for the educational institution. The project focused on translating the institution’s character and values into a recognizable musical language that can be applied consistently across different media and communication formats. I used a modular synthesizer as a primary tool for original sound design, creating unique sonic textures and signature elements, combined with virtual instruments for music composition and production. The sonic logo and brand theme were designed as complementary elements of a cohesive audio identity, balancing recognizability, musicality, and flexibility across different brand touchpoints.…
    Jaka Berger - Clockwork Voltage sound logo and brand music
    For Clockwork Voltage, a community focused on modular synthesis and electronic music, I developed an original sonic logo and brand music theme, creating a distinctive audio identity that reflects the community’s experimental and electronic character. The entire sonic identity was created exclusively with a modular synthesizer, from the initial sound design and synthesis to rhythmic structures, textures, melodic elements, and the final musical composition. By building every sound from scratch within the modular system, the sonic logo and brand theme establish a unique and recognizable audio language directly connected to the identity and creative philosophy of Clockwork Voltage.…
