The experiences people remember
are the ones they felt.

Sound experiences that connect through emotion, not visuals.

Some messages can't be told. They have to be felt.

Sound doesn’t just fill a space, it transforms it.

It synchronizes breathing, connects emotions, sharpens attention.

Guided by science, it becomes a tool for empathy and collective experience.

What we createFrom corporate gatherings to public installations, our experiences combine sound, science, and storytelling to transform the way audiences perceive and feel messages.We help brands, institutions, and organizations use sound to:evoke emotion,prepare audiences before a message,or translate complex ideas into sensory understanding.Whether it’s to make people feel calm before a conference, experience sustainability through sound or connect deeply to human stories like mental health or malnutrition, our experiences translate ideas into emotion.

Some of our sound experiences

Inside the mind

Mental Health x L’Amphi

How do you hold the full attention of 200 people for 10 minutes, in total silence? By making them feel what others live every day. For the launch of L’Amphi, the private club for healthcare leaders, we created a 6-minute sonic immersion that placed 200 guests inside the mind of people living with schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. Voices, ambiences, and neuroscience-driven soundscapes blended to provoke empathy, the first step toward understanding.

Mental Health x L’Amphi

For Pernod Ricard’s executive leaders worldwide, we created a synesthetic journey celebrating heritage, authenticity, and creativity. Blending the Cristal Baschet, natural elements, and the voices of employees, the experience followed the transformation of matter, from earth to glass, across four emotional chapters: shared story, authenticity, challenge, optimism. A true auditory tasting that connected global teams around a shared sensory and emotional language. > A collective toast to values that can be heard, felt, and remembered.

Inside the rhythm of nature

Sustainability x Kering

How do you make sustainability felt, not just understood? For Kering, we designed an immersive sound journey first unveiled at their annual summit in New York with Marie Claire International. Through binaural sound, participants transitioned from the noise of the city to the rhythm of nature, their breathing slowed, attention deepened. Later performed at La Gaîté Lyrique during the Paris Podcast Festival, this experience united 300 people in silence and introspection. > From chaos to calm, from awareness to consciousness. Built on the storytelling of Fashion Our Future, Kering’s podcast series produced by Kikina Studio, which gathered over 10,000 listeners worldwide.

Inside the Womb

Inequality x UNICEF

How do you speak about malnutrition without words, numbers, or guilt? By inviting people to return to the very beginning of life. During a philanthropic dinner at the Musée Bourdelle, guests were asked to put on headphones. The room fell silent and in an instant, they were inside the womb. A heartbeat, a breath, and the voice of an unborn child guided them through the story of inequality, before birth, before injustice. This was the first in-utero sound experience ever created, a poetic, universal way to talk about malnutrition and inequality through empathy and emotion. “We forget speeches. We remember what made us feel alive.”

In essence, sound is much more than a simple sensory element; it is an essential vector of well-being, capable of transforming our emotions and promoting holistic health.

Storytelling through soundAt Kikina, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do.We turn science and emotion into immersive sound journeys that bypass words and speak directly to the senses.Because sound has the power to do what words cannot: induce a state, prepare an audience, and translate complex ideas into emotion.

Create emotional states of relaxation, curiosity, or awe.

Sound can

Prepare audiences before a key moment, message, or transition.

Sound can

Translate complex topics into sensory understanding.

Sound can

Turn ideas into collective emotions and lasting memories.

2. Write

Every experience begins with a story. Our creative team - writers, researchers, and artists - craft the emotional and narrative arc that will later unfold through sound. It’s where the message becomes meaning.
