Private AI operations infrastructure for a 360° immersive studio

Soundsphere is a creative business built on relationships, judgement and hard-won project knowledge. As the company builds new facilities in Barcelona, Victoria (Canada), Christchurch and Bogotá, Wild Systems is building the private AI operations layer behind their expansion. This is not AI replacing the creative work, it is AI protecting the operational memory around it.

The studio behind the build

Soundsphere and Lysten360, the spatial-sound systems company, are two ventures founded and led by Ron Thaler, a music producer and technologist whose work is credited across 450 albums and more than 48 billion streams.

The catalogue carries three Grammy wins, eleven Billboard number-one hits and two BCMA awards, with production and instrumental credits alongside Alicia Keys (the Grammy-winning "No One"), John Legend, David Guetta, Lana Del Rey, Sarah McLachlan, and Moby with Gwen Stefani.

This is the calibre Wild Systems builds for: a business with deep creative IP, international reach, and operational knowledge worth protecting as it scales.

"Ben was my absolute first choice. He understands better than most the operational reality of running a business, and the technical architecture supporting it. Ben and the system he has built are genuinely rare in combination. The results speak for themselves, four locations speaking to each other, and the money hasn't stopped."

02 / The challenge

The challenge

Creative businesses often run on informal knowledge. A client conversation happens in one place. A project decision happens in another. A delivery detail lives in someone's head. A commitment is made during a meeting, then has to survive the gap between creative momentum and operational follow-through.

That informality can work while a business is small and centralised. But as the business grows, takes on more clients, or expands into new locations, it becomes fragile. Project context gets scattered. Client commitments become harder to track, and financial commitments across various exchange rates become central to decision-making. Lessons the business has already paid for get lost, then paid for again. The business starts relying too heavily on memory, individual people, and disconnected files.

For a creative enterprise, this is a risk to the work, the client relationship, and the company's ability to scale.

03 / The build

The Wild Systems build

Wild Systems is building a private, self-hosted AI operations layer for Soundsphere. The system is designed to unify the company's operational knowledge across project history, client context, briefs, assets, R&D initiatives, educational commitments, and all manner of conversations and necessary interactions.

At the centre of the build is a private knowledge layer: a searchable internal system that allows the business to retrieve the information it already has, with answers grounded in its own growing data rather than a generic cloud model.

On top of that sits the custom operations layer, the capture of client commitments, the structuring of project knowledge, and the preservation of context that would otherwise live informally across conversations, files and people's heads. The goal is simple: when Soundsphere expands, its operational memory expands with it.

04 / The architecture

One core, four facilities

Rather than four facilities running four separate systems, the build centres on a single private core, on hardware the business owns. Each facility connects to it over encrypted site-to-site links, so knowledge captured in Barcelona is available in Christchurch or Bogotá the moment it lands. One brain, four rooms.

05 / Why it matters

Why it matters

The value of all businesses is rarely found in one document, one system or one process. It lives in the way people make decisions, the way client relationships are managed, and the way context carries from one project to the next. Simply put, a company's survival rests on the proprietary knowledge it controls.

If that knowledge is not captured, it becomes harder to scale without dilution. The Soundsphere build is designed to protect that layer of the business before scaling makes it harder to control, giving the studios a private foundation for growth: one place for knowledge to live, one system for commitments to be remembered, and one operational layer the business can carry into its next stage.

06 / Privacy

Built privately, by design. Totally proprietary.

Soundsphere's project knowledge and client work are commercially sensitive. For that reason, the infrastructure is being designed around privacy and secure interchange. The system is self-hosted. The knowledge layer is private. The business retains control over its data and its operational memory.

The system holds the memory around the work, never the craft itself. How Soundsphere makes what it makes stays with its people: never tracked, never captured, never turned into something a competitor could access, let alone copy. The AI looks after commitments, context and continuity, without interference in the creative process.

AI assists. People decide. The purpose is not to automate the creative judgement that makes Soundsphere valuable, it is to support the people making those decisions with better memory, better structure, better operational continuity, and the decision-making tools to find success through scaling.

07 / The outcome

What the build delivers

The build exists as an operational layer that is immediate and load-bearing, not a retrofit after a problem arrives. It exists to deliver four things:

  • One operational memory across multiple facilities. A question asked in Christchurch draws on what was learned in Barcelona. Four sites, one brain, the same version of the truth across all locations.
  • Commitments that survive time zones. A promise made on a call in one country is captured, structured and tracked, instead of relying on someone remembering it eleven hours later. Likewise, foreign exchange concerns melt away with coherent and timely information exchange.
  • Growth without matching headcount. The same core team supports all four facilities as the system carries the coordination load, the capacity model Wild Systems builds for every client.
  • Soundsphere IP that stays in-house. Client work, project knowledge and commercial terms live on infrastructure the business owns. Nothing feeds an external third-party model, and nothing reaches a competitor's inquisitive eyes. Control, client acquisition, lead generation and new partnerships remain unilaterally in the hands of Soundsphere and its management team.

The Soundsphere build represents the work Wild Systems exists to do. No generic AI tools. Not another chatbot sitting beside the business. A private operations layer built around how your business actually works.
