dettenbach audio is a german based company which crafts music, synthesizer + sampler sounds, produces modern to experimental music and developes audio / music software tools.

the company was founded by Niels Dettenbach - a engineer and artist from planet earth.

our workflows and collection of analog and digital tools is on par with other international project studios.

about Niels

Niels is the owner and heart of the company as the studio and vice versa.

his musical and technical history started as a young child, as a geek in electronics, computing and natural sciences - with a strong interest in electro-tech and neuro-/psychoacoustics.

as a multi instrumentalist he made music in different more and less known (but mostly non-commercial) bands and even orchestra projects while enjoying a lot of fun with cool friends and colleagues.
