Creative Portfolio

My compositional journey started in University, when it finally clicked that I could combine my love of video games with my love of music. After trying my hand at implementing my audio into some short games, I was hooked.

The ability to program your music opens a world of creative potential, that I forever feel I am only just beginning to properly explore. I love creating interesting implementations, that seamlessly slot into the gameplay and extend the users emotional experience.

The following snippets are a journey through re-design projects, to an original game. Feel free to reach out to me to chat about any of my work.

Key Skills

Composition

Versed in music theory and competent in Ableton Live.

Middleware

Experienced in FMOD and writing C# to integrate it with Unity.

Sound Effects

From synthesised SFX, to ambient recordings.

Theodore

Original Game

Project Involvement: Music, SFX, Audio Implementation, Solo Game Development, Art

Theodore tells the story of Theo through the perspective of his dog. Playing as each dog Theo has across his life, players watch him grow up – assisting him, keeping him safe, and most importantly being his ever-loyal companion.

Although I started this project with very little coding experience, programming Theodore in it’s entirety gave me skills in all aspects of game audio integration. With full control of the game I have been able to create complex player/audio interactions that deepen the emotional touch-points of the narrative.

The Explorer

Audio Re-Design

Project Involvement: Music, SFX, Audio Implementation

I redesigned and implemented the music and sound effects for the Unity sample game The Explorer. All of the audio has been composed or constructed by me, and implemented through FMOD and custom C# scripting.

The audio is generative, changing and adapting to gameplay. It provides extra feedback to players through interacting with enemy hit points, player locations and timelines to determine the tone, mood and presence of each element.

Carefully designed sound effects build the world, immersing players in it’s alien landscapes. Sound effects adapt as players traverse the map, adjusting their echo and pitch in accordance with surroundings.

Limbo Trailer

Audio Re-Design

Project Involvement: Music, SFX

Stripping the audio from the original Limbo trailer, I overlaid an entirely new soundtrack and sound effects. Each element is tailored to create suspense, and fit the tone of the game.

I combined layers of self-recorded and downloaded sound files to create engaging, satisfying sound effects, that both integrate into the games world, and provide additional depth.
