About us

Sound in design, music in space.
We explore the possibilities of sound as a tool for knowledge, creation, and connection.

Pase is a studio for artistic and applied research in sound and music. Based in Venice, it brings together artists, professionals, students, and institutions through shared practices and long-term projects. We work across production, research, and education, offering a space where experimentation happens through concrete tools, listening, and collaboration. Our focus is on sound as a way to engage with space, context, and collective processes. We support the development of works that explore the relationship between sound and space, from immersive installations to site-specific pieces and learning formats. Pase is an independent platform that embraces sound as both an artistic medium and a method for observing, communicating, and generating new forms of knowledge.
