Benjamin Martin –Sound Engineer, Sound Designer & Cinema Mixer
Sound engineer, sound designer, and mixer specializing in cinema, I work on fiction, documentary, animation, and advertising projects, from sound recording to final mixing.
I have worked on over50 short filmsinmixing, sound design, and sound editing**, as well as on advertising projects involving **sound recording, editing, sound design, and multichannel mixing.
I also perform **multichannel mixing from stereo music sources**. Where many settle for simple automatic upmixing, I create true musical spatialization, designed for narrative, clarity, and emotional impact in cinema. The result: a coherent, precise, and controlled immersive rendering, far from generic processing.
I work with **the best tools on the market**:
Penteo Pro+, LiquidSonics immersive reverbs, iZotope RX Advanced, and a complete workflow focused on cinema quality and professional broadcasting.
Among my works: Au revoir mon monde, an animated short film for which I handled sound design and mixing,awarded Gold at the Student Academy Awards 2024 (Oscars) and selected for the Oscar 2025 shortlist.
Trained by industry leaders such as Cyril Holtz, Jean-Paul Hurier, and Vincent Arnardi. I adapt to the artistic, technical, and budgetary constraints of each production, with a clear objective: to deliver clean, clear, immersive, and professional sound, without compromising on quality.

Experience
- Polaryse - Gitana TeamLa Cellule - Sailorz Film Festival 2025FILM AND AVMarch 2025 - March 2025Paris, FranceThe mixing challenge was intense and condensed. Indeed, completed in just two days, it required significant work on sound cleaning and processing. However, it was essential to preserve the documentary's distinct aesthetic. The goal was to maintain the authenticity of the voices and atmospheres, while delivering a clear and immersive sound, worthy of a national screening.A project as demanding as it was exciting, which immersed me in the fascinating world of sailing and pushing one's limits.
- Hermès & AppleHermès X Apple - Hermès WatchFILM AND AVDecember 2024 - December 2024Paris, FranceI handled the mixing and sound design for a film marking the collaboration between Apple and Hermès for the Apple Watch. With only two days to complete this mission, I created a sound universe befitting both brands: minimalist, elegant, and perfectly calibrated. Thanks to a keen understanding of their expectations, the final mix was approved without any revisions, a true "one-shot" that reflects the precision and standards of these iconic houses.
- Studio MartyrDisco Funeral - VR 360 filmFILM AND AVDecember 2024 - January 2025 (1 month)Paris, FranceFor this 15-minute virtual reality film, an experimental genre, I created a bespoke mix that highlighted an intense and immersive musical narrative. The story unfolds in a Marseille nightclub, with a captivating techno atmosphere. This project pushed me to explore technical limits by inventing new mixing techniques adapted to the VR format, and by developing specific software tools to ensure an optimal VR headset experience.Beyond mixing, I handled the final export, a complex and crucial task for this type of project. Working in collaboration with Kitchenette, who managed the sound design, we delivered a result that perfectly met the directors' artistic expectations.

There are sound artists. And then there is Benjamin.
In my ritualistic tale, he knew how to listen to the invisible: finding the right sounds, the precise breath, the atmosphere that transports... and especially the rhythm that makes every word, every emotion, every silence vibrate.
Benjamin wove a sound atmosphere that doesn't just accompany: it embodies the story. It carries it, it magnifies it. Thanks to him, the tale took on a sensory, immersive... almost magical dimension.
His professionalism, his artistic sensitivity, and his keen understanding of my universe gave birth to an incredible result, beyond all my expectations.
Thank you Benjamin.
You are a true sound alchemist.
