Following his education as an audio engineer, Andreas Schoenrock worked primarily as a DJ and music producer. In 2006, during his studies in Musicology, Communications and Acoustical Engineering in Berlin, he founded Studio Schoenrock and specialised in Mastering. Apart from studio topics and his activities as a sound designer and music producer, Andreas works as an audio consultant and strategist in branding processes. He is operating with agencies and corporations to get the best out of acoustical communication – providing musicological analyses of brands and creating guidelines for the maximum effect of musical content in advertising environments. Based on Andreas’ specialisation in multiple disciplines, he is able to transcribe the identities of brands or corporations appropriately and effectively onto an auditive level. He is a PhD candidate with Prof. Dr. Peter Wicke at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin examining the interrelation of audio branding and popular music culture
