SOUND MADE BY ANIMALS

Portland, OR USA

ALL THINGS SOUND…

At SMBA, we design audio systems that listen, speak, and think. Whether it’s building custom audio hardware, writing multi-language code, or making field recordings in the most remote regions of the world, we explore every aspect of audio creation and production.

Our work lives somewhere between the datasheet and the drum machine. We are driven by curiosity, and grounded in craft. From custom DSPs to long-term biophony experiments, we build things that hum, resonate, and occasionally break in beautiful and fascinating ways.

Currently crafting in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., we’re always down to collaborate with fellow sound sculptors, audio enthusiasts, and artists pushing boundaries.
