Flugt - The Barrack

Flugt - The Barrack.

Since last June, FLUGT - Refugee Museum of Denmark in Oksbøl, has a new exhibition in an actual barrack. Between 1945 and 1949, German refugees lived in barracks like this one. You walk through the bunk-bed rooms, the corridor and the washroom, and in every space someone from the camp tells their story. We created the audio experience: cast the (21!) actors, recording in Danish, German and English, and built the spatial sound design and music around it.

Natuurgeheimen for Natuurmonumenten

How do you bring a story to life that you can no longer see, because time and nature have grown over it?

In the Midden-Heerenduin dunes near Haarlem there was once an enormous German camp, where soldiers waited during the Second World War for action that never came. At a furious pace around 1,300 bunkers were built: the "back" of the Atlantic Wall, a defence against a possible attack over land. What now feels like silence and space in the dunes was once a strictly organised area, shaped by haste, tension and uncertainty.

It is one of those layers in the landscape that has become invisible. At Big Orange we bring this kind of hidden history back to life; we take you along and let you feel it. We do this for Natuurmonumenten with the podwalk series Natuurgeheimen, which launched last week.

Curious which story is hiding under your walking route? Download the app 'Natuurgeheimen'.

Rijksmuseum: At Home in the 17th Century

Unlock the secrets of The Dolls' House of Petronella Oortman

We recently had the pleasure of working with the Rijksmuseum on Thuis in de 17e eeuw (At Home in the 17th Century). What a project! For this exhibition we created three audio components: an audio tour, a podcast episode and an online experience built around the digitised dollhouse of Petronella Oortman. Each format needed its own approach. Whether guiding visitors with audio through the nine “dioramas”, offering a behind‑the‑scenes look in the podcast, or creating a calm digital tour of the dollhouse. Our audio team in Amsterdam and Utrecht worked on narration, music and subtle sound layers together with the museum’s curators and editors. It was cool and inspiring to work with the beautiful voices of Bracha van Doesburgh, Daan Schuurmans, Janine Abbring, Monic Hendrickx and Helena Bonham Carter. Thanks to everyone at the Rijksmuseum, Q42 and Fabrique!

SkiptheScreen

Great session yesterday at SkiptheScreen at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam! Together with Esmee Stam from Grote Kerk Naarden and Elvire Jansen from XPEX Experience Experts, we shared how we brought the Grote Kerk Naarden stories to life through audio.

Great take-away from this day is while AI is a fantastic tool in the process of creating stories, it's the human touch and creative authentic storytelling that truly creates those magical visitor moments. Thanks Guide-ID and Frits Polman for bringing together this energetic mix of museum pros, creatives and tech enthusiasts!

ICOMM Dubai impressions

So many impressions at ICOMDUBAI2025! Yesterday we were invited to a dinner experience at Expo City Dubai. An amazing dome with projections on the inside (where you can look through) and also visible from the outside. Great to meet so many people to share our vision on (nclusive) audio storytelling for museums. And they give us fresh perspectives for our future work for museums worldwide.

ICOM Dubai, ready to rock!

🎧 Talking Audio Storytelling at ICOM Dubai 2025!

From November 12-14, we'll be at Stand 7C6 📍 sharing our passion for audio storytelling in physical and digital spaces. We'll demonstrate the striking difference between standard audio information (yes, those monotonous hashtag#audiotours we all know...) and immersive, hashtag#inclusive storytelling that actually sticks with you.

Curious about creating meaningful connections through audio(podcasts, video podcasts, audio tours)? Stop by our stand for a surprising demo that might change how you think about storytelling in cultural spaces and heritage sites. Would love to meet up at the museum fair and exchange ideas, so please let me know if you're around!

Podwalk Rotterdam for Stichting Tramhuis with Winy Maas

Download the Tramhuis app

Nice to share: our newest podwalk for Stichting Tramhuis in Rotterdam is live! It is the first in a series of podwalks that will be launched later.

In this special podwalk, architect Winy Maas takes you through 'The city that is never finished'. With on-location recordings, specially composed music and a continuous story, you don't just walk through the city, you experience Rotterdam through the eyes of one of its most iconic architects.

The podwalk is available in Dutch and English in the Tramhuis app. The app uses your location to tell the story at exactly the right moment, while you walk past buildings like the Depot and the Markthal.

A great project, thanks to Droom en Daad, and special thanks to Isja Mak for the beautiful script.

Download the app and experience Rotterdam in a new way.

🎧 Podwalk Vlagheide 1944 | A historic journey through time 🚶‍♂️

Recently, in collaboration with Destination Northeast Brabant and Elements, we produced a historical GPS-guided podwalk about the historical events in Eerde during Operation Market Garden.

The 4.4-kilometer route takes walkers back to September 17, 1944, when the first American paratroopers landed in Brabant. Through personal stories of eyewitnesses, 3D audio sound effects, and professional voice actors, the historical locations are brought to life.

Big Orange - The Audio Agency was responsible for script development, spatial sound design, and audio production of this 90-minute podwalk. The podwalk is free to download and is part of the 80th anniversary commemoration of liberation. 🕊️

Will you join us for a walk? https://lnkd.in/ez6m86zh Script: Philip Walkate Actors: Jurjen van Loon, Sanne Bosman Thanks to: Maarten van den Broek

Audio experience for SAMoCA in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia

It's live! New audio work for SAMoCA in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. We've created an audio experience for "The Writings of Today Are a Promise for Tomorrow", an exhibition showcasing over 30 Chinese contemporary artists.

There are so many parallels between Chinese and Arab cultures. That's something I didn't know before, and I love it when I'm learning new stuff. The exhibition explores shared elements of Chinese and Arab cultures, focusing on calligraphy and garden traditions.

Team Big Orange created specially composed original music, spatial 3D sound design, and narratives in both Arabic and English. We've also developed a low-stimulus version to make the experience accessible to all visitors.

If you're in the area before 18 January 2025, I'd encourage you to visit. It's a unique opportunity to experience contemporary Chinese art in a Saudi Arabian context.

Music for the docuseries Staken op leven en dood

Staken op leven en dood (Striking for life and death) is a three-part docuseries about the 'forgotten' April-May strike of 1943, the largest strike ever in the Netherlands. The documentary takes you to the uproar and the brutal reprisals of the Germans, to the consequences that echo through generations, and to the courage and vulnerability of the strikers who willingly put their lives at risk.

I had great fun writing the music for it together with Eddy Koopman of the Metropole Orkest.

From Monday 24 April, 22:15 on NPO2 at BNNVARA.

With many thanks to Kees Schaap, Joanne Schaap-Becker, Floor Rodenburg and NCE.

Audio tour for Jewish Museum Frankfurt

Frankfurt. The birthplace of Anne Frank, city of skyscrapers, city of banks, seat of the stock exchange and of the European Central Bank.

But Frankfurt would not be the city it is today without the influence of Jewish families like the Rothschilds, or the Frank family, whose tragic fate touched millions through Anne's diary.

We produced an audio tour for the Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt. A special mission for us, especially because of the story of the Frank family, whose history can still be felt every day here in Amsterdam. And on their way to the studio, our employees regularly see the impressive graffiti of Anne Frank with the inscription "Let me be myself" on the NDSM site. The history of the Frank family is part of the DNA of the city of Frankfurt and also of the DNA of the city of Amsterdam.

We are proud that we can help ensure that these stories are told and never forgotten.

Scheepvaartmuseum - Audio Tour Mens Op Zee

What role does the Sea play in your life?

In the new photo exhibition “Mens op Zee” Het Scheepvaartmuseum, together with the Dutch National Portrait Gallery, presents various stories of people who went to the sea with different motivations. Big Orange - The Audio Agency produced an audio tour in which Wijnand Stomp, a theatre maker and storyteller, takes you as a presenter.

To better understand the stories behind these photos, we have included interviews with the photographers, but sometimes also with the people who can be seen in the photos, or their relatives.

Visit the new exhibition in the Maritime Museum and hear the story of the people who fled Vietnam at night on a wooden boat. Or of the photographer who secretly took pictures of the half-sunken cruise ship Costa Concordia. Or the story of one of the first women who went to sea with the Dutch Navy...

New Podcast Series: Raymann's Favorites

Looking for art podcasts? Big Orange produced the audio and music for the Rijksmuseum: Raymann's Favorites. Surinamese-Dutch comedian Jörgen Raymann has immersed our studios in Amsterdam for 6 episodes in exciting and partly polarizing subjects. For example: the role of the Netherlands in colonial times, looted art and our traditions such as the Sint-Nicolaas feast. What role does art actually play in all of this and what can we learn from it?

Museum Flugt opening!

Last week I've had the privilege to be present at the opening of FLUGT - Refugee Museum of Denmark by the Danish Queen Margrethe. The new museum is located on the site of the largest refugee camp in Denmark, in the woods outside Oksbøl. The impressive building was designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and consists of a curved modern building made of wood, glass and steel. The museum exhibition is designed by Tinker imagineers. The Big Orange team has been working on this project for the last 1,5 years, which, in terms of audio production is immense. We've created over 700 minutes of (3D) audio and music and worked with over 60 actors from Denmark, Germany and Great Britain to make the most immersive audio experience possible. It's been a creative, technical and productional challenge, but it was an awesome ride :-)

Thanks to all people we've met, we've created stuff with and that helped us throughout this meaningful project FLUGT!

Revolusi! Indonesia independent at the Rijksmuseum

‘Revolusi! Indonesia independent’. A special and moving exhibition at the Rijksmuseum that is definitely worth seeing... and hearing 🎧

In the audio tour, Herman van der Zandt reports on these testimonies. One story from changing Indonesian, Dutch and international perspectives, giving insight into the more than 200 objects on display.

A story you want to hear until the very end.

Thanks to Wieneke 't Hoen for the free hand we were given in the audio production.

The wait was long, but King Willem-Alexander opens the exhibition Slavery this afternoon (Tuesday, May 18th) in the Rijksmuseum. The opening will be broadcasted live by the NOS at 3.55 pm via NPO1. The highlights of the opening can be seen in a special evening broadcast at 10.35 pm, which also includes interviews and reports.

Mengelberg's List

On the 4th of May, the EO will broadcast the documentary "Mengelberg's List". A documentary about the world-famous conductor of the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Willem Mengelberg. Because he had Nazi sympathies, he was severely punished after World War II and dismissed as a collaborator and traitor. However, it now appears that he was also actively involved in the rescue of dozens of Jews. The documentary is about whether Mengelberg should be remembered for the lives he saved, or whether the label 'war criminal' suits him better.

The documentary is full of music composed by Big Orange and produced by MOONDOCS, directed by Jaap Van Eyck. Don't forget! Tuesday 4 May, 10:45 PM, NPO2.

2020. What a year!

And while it's not in our system to look back too often, it's still highly rewarding to see how many brands, museums and organizations grasp and appreciate the importance of great audio.

Thx to team Big Orange: Ad van Dongen, Vincent de Koning, Jos Jansen, Vincent Witte, Jolien Neperus, Alexander De Kleermaeker, Rik Rensen.

Het Nationale Hoorspel: Hoekjes van Geluk

During the corona crisis, with all the kids staying at home, we wanted to pull them away from their screens and spark their creativity. With fellow creatives we made the children's book "Hoekjes van Geluk" by Maryam Hassouni come to life by turning it into a radio play that we directed and produced.

12 actors, sounddesign by SonicPicnic and music by Shiverville transformed it into an amazing sonic adventure. You can listen to this radio play on the website hetnationaalhoorspel.nl Beautifully designed by NATWERK and Bravoure.

On the website, children are encouraged to make a radio play themselves, working from home with their class. Simply by using smartphones to record and upload the result. A big thank you to State of the Culture for initiating this project.
