Sonores Acoustics was founded by acoustic engineer and sound artist Matthias Dziwak (°1991, MSc Acoustics candidate, MSc in Civil Engineering Technology) as a platform for architectural and multi-disciplinary projects at the intersection of the science of acoustics and the art of sound.

Matthias was born in Kalmthout, Belgium. From an early age, music has always held a prominent place in his life. During his engineering studies at the University of Antwerp, he discovered the fascinating intersection between the science and art of sound: acoustics. This sparked a passion, and he further specialised in the field as a research student at Kahle Acoustics, project engineer at VENAC, and assistant at the Faculty of Architecture at KU Leuven.
