Museumweek talkshow
Original music, sound design, and full post-production for the broadcast talkshow that gave 120,000+ people a way to share Museum Week, without being in the same room.
A live broadcast without a live audience
When lockdown forced Museum Week 2020 online, the Museumvereniging created a broadcast talkshow designed to let people share the experience. Studio ZK was brought in to make it sound like real television: intimate enough for a living room, polished enough for national broadcast.
Talkshow audio from the inside out
We approached the talkshow the same way we'd approach any broadcast format: dialogue clarity first, music and atmosphere in support. The original music had to feel connected to the Museumweek sonic world without being a copy of it. The sound design layered atmosphere and transitions to give the show a sense of physical place, even though it existed entirely online.
