Welcome to HornAudio

Where music sounds like magic. My name is Marcel, and in this video, I want to hear from you about what you would like to know about sound and music.

How it began

From a young age, sound and music were very important to me. I would listen to the first records and recordings of the musicians I liked with headphones, trying to understand the magic behind the sounds that I loved. This passion led me to become a musician and eventually form the band Rapalje.

In search of good sound

Through performing at festivals, theaters, and venues, we discovered the importance of sound and how to best reproduce it. Our goal as musicians has always been to not let the sound system take away from the music and instruments themselves. However, reproducing that live sound in a sound system can be challenging, and I’ve made it my mission to bridge that gap as much as possible and let people enjoy the sounds as the musicians intended.

Music connects

The main reason I make music is because it connects people. It creates a language that everyone speaks and understands, and music has the power to bring people together.

Not everyone has the luxury of experiencing live musicians in their own home. Inspired by the way I learned the Irish music in the Irish pub O’Ceallaigh in Groningen,I want to give you the opportunity to experience sound in its purest form.

Do you have a question?

So if you have a question or want to know something about sound, write it in the comments and I will read them all and I will try to make a video with the answer. I can give examples of how sound works, what makes a good sound system, how sound is produced from the musician through a microphone in a studio to your ears at home, and show you different ways to connect sound.
