The Science Behind the Sound
The Power of Sound
Melokura's soundscapes are carefully designed using specific sound frequencies and advanced audio engineering techniques. While we avoid making medical claims, we focus on how sound can support relaxation, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing. Our approach considers the potential influence of sound on brainwave activity and various physiological processes related to relaxation and stress management.
The Melokura Team: Experts in Sound and Wellbeing
Meet the Team Behind Melokura's Innovative Soundscapes
Our team's deep understanding of sound, honed over decades of experience in audio technology and innovation, forms the foundation of Melokura's approach to wellbeing.
The Melokura team has a rich history in developing cutting-edge audio solutions, including creating global hits for internationally renowned artists and pioneering innovative sound design for leading global brands. Our roots lie in a Danish audio company established in 2003, specialising in audio marketing and stimulation.
This company's expertise extended to groundbreaking work in sensory design, notably a significant R&D collaboration with a major global automotive manufacturer. In 2016, this collaboration focused on creating all sensory and haptic feedback devices for their flagship autonomous vehicle—a project showcased at the International Electric Vehicle Convention (IEVE) in South Korea in 2017. This experience in crafting immersive and impactful sonic environments has directly informed Melokura's development of effective and evidence-based soundscapes for wellbeing.
