Collaboration with audio-tech startup

Hilversum-based audio-tech startup XS2RADIO is partnering with Mister TV-Tune Stephen Emmer on audio design for text-to-speech productions.

Famous tv tunes

Emmer, the son of news anchor Fred Emmer, created more than 500 famous TV theme tunes and melodies. He is the Netherlands' most famous composer for radio and TV productions. He composed the theme music for RTL Boulevard, RTL Nieuws, the NOS Journaal, Radio 2, RTL 4, and Omroep MAX, among others. Last year, the composer was rewarded for his work with the Buma Oeuvre Award.

Next level

Richard Otto (co-founder): “Audio design plays a very important role in our speech technology. With Stephen Emmer’s talent, we can take the quality of our products to an even higher level.”

Stephen Emmer: “I strongly believe in the content potential of this new audio service and am eager to add instant recognizability to it.”

In addition to producing audio tunes for XS2RADIO customers, Emmer will also provide advice on audio design.
