Sonic Days returns to Kolding this November, inviting sound professionals, artists, technologists, and researchers from all over the world to two days of cutting-edge inspiration, learning, and exchange. Hosted by Sonic College, part of UC SYD, the conference has quickly become one of the most influential audio gatherings in Northern Europe – a place where creativity meets technology and ideas turn into collaboration.
Now in its fourth edition, Sonic Days 2025 transforms Sonic College into a vibrant hub of workshops, talks, and performances – all free and open to anyone passionate about sound.
With nine thematic tracks, the program spans the full spectrum of the audio world: film and TV sound, game audio, music production, podcasting, sound art, sound in museums, audio technology, sound synthesis, and new concert formats. Each track offers a deep dive into both artistic and technical practices, exploring how sound shapes experiences across media and culture.
Global voices and immersive experiences
Among this year’s highlights are Oscar-winning sound editor James Mather (Top Gun: Maverick, Harry Potter), Grammy-winning engineer Morten Lindberg, and immersive audio pioneer Hans-Martin Buff (Peter Gabriel).
The lineup also features Marcela Rada, Thomas Lund (Genelec), Ragnhild May, Marie Koldkjær Højlund, Timothy Muirhead (Tonebenders Podcast), and electronic visionary Bjørn Svin – along with a wide range of experts shaping how we listen, mix, and experience sound today.
Visitors can expect hands-on workshops in immersive production and recording, demonstrations of next-generation tools, and experimental performances that blur the boundaries between art, science, and storytelling.
A platform powered by partnerships
Sonic Days 2025 is made possible through the generous support of its Platinum sponsor, Dolby Creator Lab, alongside a strong network of Gold sponsors: Genelec, Neumann, Audiokinetic, MPSE (Motion Picture Sound Editors), Dynaudio, Meyer Sound, and Stouenborg.
Together, these partners represent the forefront of international audio innovation and ensure that Sonic Days remains a free and inclusive conference – a democratic space where professionals, students, and creators meet to share knowledge and inspiration across disciplines.
“Sonic Days is where you gather inspiration, learning, and new connections if you work with sound. But it’s also a place where you’ll experience something you didn’t expect – we embrace a diversity that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else in the field of sound,” says Lars Tirsbæk, Head of Programme at Sonic College and Head of Sonic Days.
From Kolding to the world
Last year’s edition drew close to 600 participants from more than ten countries, confirming Sonic Days as a key
European platform for exploring the future of sound.
This year, the conference expands its international profile even further, bringing together voices from film, games,
performance, and research to discuss how technology, creativity, and education can unite in shaping tomorrow’s
soundscapes.
