The offices and studios of Memnon are situated in the buildings of the former Institut National de Radiodiffusion (INR – National Radio Broadcasting Institute) at Place Flagey in Brussels.

After a recent renovation, Memnon has taken over the old radio studios, contributing to the renewal of this exceptional building.

Our philosophy

Memnon has accrued over 15 years of experience working with sound technology throughout Europe, from its original activity of recording live concerts.  During this time, our workforce has evolved into a multi-disciplinary team of sound engineers, computer specialists, documentation and meta-data management experts and project managers.

Our bespoke, quality controlled and cost-effective service is suitable for both small and large-scale projects. We offer a full range of services for all sound archives on a modular basis: as well as audio digitisation, restoration, indexing, and segmentation of sound archives, we can also advise on, and assist in arranging external funding, access and mass storage. 

We combine craftsmanship experience of sound processing with an industrial approach for large volumes. Each sound archive is carefully processed to create a new digital archive that is as close as possible to the original.  We emphasise the importance of achieving long-term preservation through the use of open standards and internationally accepted formats, metadata transmission and encoding standards. 

Memnon uses the OAIS model (Open Archival Information System), which distinguishes submission (SIP), archive (AIP), and dissemination (DIP), while respecting the integrity of the sources in their original physical medium.

Our spread of offices and studios in Belgium, France, Germany, Norway and the UK enable us to service customers through out Europe and its neighbours.
