My fields of expertise :
Acoustics Engineer
Acoustics Engineer
Having personally designed numerous studios and collaborated frequently with existing facilities, I was quickly drawn into the fascinating science of acoustics and the sound design of the tools I used. I learned from the best and even returned to school to deepen my knowledge in physics and acoustics. Today, I’m particularly attuned to how these elements can either elevate or diminish the quality of a creative space. Each year, I design about 2 to 3 studios or control rooms.
My Approach
I may not be the most innovative acoustic engineer on the planet, but I know that my experience as a user is both unique and extensive. When I take on a project, I always approach it as if it were my own studio...
Meeting on Systemic Acoustics
Their meeting led to an exciting collaboration!
Patrick Thévenot, an acoustician with exceptional artistic sensitivity, and Pierre Jacquot, a sound engineer trained in acoustics, have come together to create a unique project born from their shared passion and evident enjoyment of working as a duo. Together, they now offer a VIP acoustic design service tailored to music studios. Their combined expertise, educational skills, and complementary, yet harmonious approaches promise a premium, bespoke experience for anyone seeking to elevate their acoustic environment.
The foundation of our shared approach: the concept of systemic acoustics developed by Patrick :
In simple terms, traditional acoustics focuses on sound treatment within recording, mixing, mastering, audiovisual production, or editing studios. It is primarily concerned with standards tailored to different types of productions, such as music, television, or video games. These standards define the measurable acoustic performance of the room and monitoring speakers, including parameters like reverberation time (RT60), frequency response, and speaker placement.
By contrast, systemic acoustics incorporates complementary concepts and evaluates the final outcome by considering a range of factors: electroacoustic speakers, their interaction with the room, speaker and listening position, as well as the specific needs of the production type and listening culture. This approach also takes into account more esoteric elements, such as geobiology, which examines the impact of environmental factors like electromagnetic fields and the quality of air and water. The aim is to create a high-quality sound environment while reducing auditory fatigue.
The systemic approach can be applied to a variety of settings, including recording studios, performance venues, wellness centers, and personal development spaces. The key challenge is to treat all these elements as part of an integrated system from the outset, as they all interact with one another. This method can result in more efficient mixing and a higher quality final outcome.
