Rust
Sound Design Character Study Rust is a character study created by the talented artist and animator Stefan Kamoda. From a sound design point of view I wanted to develop the narrative of this clip beyond the basic animation. I asked Stefan to extend the clip for several seconds to allow me to add more story elements using just the sound. We had discussed the visuals and agreed that there was an obvious light hearted tone to the characters situation that needed to be the highlight of the mechanical character. |

Infinite Flight
Aircraft Sound Model The challenge; to design and create an update for the sounds for the top selling flight-sim on iOS to create the most realistic sound model possible. The audio needed to sound realistic from both a fixed camera and attached camera perspective and be adaptable across a range of different aircraft types. |

FMOD Demo
Generative Environmental Sound Design This demonstration explores an example of environmental sound design created for a 3D game world utilizing generative sound design techniques. All the sound elements are constructed in real time during game play and can be controlled by a data driven Parameter. This technique produces a dynamic audio environment that is extremely resource efficient while also being very easy to implement from a code point of view. |

Defect SDK
Weapon SFX Demonstration Dynamic sound effects from Defect SDK demonstrating SFX design and implementation. The sounds in this demonstration are generated in real time and constructed from a variety of elements. Data driven Parameters also manipulate the sound relative to the turrets movement. |

Defect SDK
Dynamic Music System This system applies a unique musical motif to every one of the 150+ ship components in the game. These motifs are then layered in the game to create a unique theme for every ship design. The game also tracks player and AI hit-points and applies additional layers as ships take damage. All of this as well as a musical underscoring system for scripted events is controlled by a single sound event and so only took about two hours of programmer time to implement. |

Music
All of my fully orchestral game scores can be accessed on this site under the Music page. Click on this link or on the image. The three projects with orchestral scores are quite varied in style so it is worth selecting a few pieces across the three projects. I have selected a few specific pieces and presented them below for convenience. |

Goddard's Insides
Live Orchestra with Theremin Written to accompany a game level set inside a robot cartoon dog, Goddard's Insides pays homage to the science Fiction era of the 1950s, so of course a Theremin was mandatory! |
|
Sleeping Dinosaurs
Live Orchestra: String Section Not every game with Dinosaurs is non stop relentless action. Sleeping Dinosaurs explores the gentler side of these magnificent giants and invites the player to experience some of the beauty of the Jurassic era. |
|
The Zeppelin
Live Orchestra Written for a children's game, The Zeppelin takes the player on a swashbuckling journey across the skies in an out of control airship. |
|
Cool Customers
Live Orchestra: Jazz Section Another children's game theme, this time with a Noire Jazz feel to set our characters on the path of investigating Mr. Evil. |
|
The Tides of Mars
Electronic This is the main theme from my current project. It is electronic in nature and many of the thematic material within this piece will be utilized within the dynamic music system I created for Defect. |
|
Untamed
Twin Pianos A piece of music written simply for its own sake. A frenetic dialogue between two pianos determined to voice the energy of the music. The visuals were captured with a GoPro camera while driving along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. The visuals were captured with the specific intention of accompanying the wild pace of the music. |
