Music & sound design · Lombard, IL
Sound that makes your game feel finished.
Twenty years of original music and sound effects for video games, pinball, arcade, and family entertainment. Now available for new projects, from retro-style indie games to kids' apps.
What I can do for you
Delivered on time, on budget, and to spec. No surprises, no missed milestones.
Original game music
Full soundtracks, menu themes, and adaptive loops, from chiptune and 16-bit style to full orchestral and rock.
Sound effects & SFX design
Complete sound packages for any platform, from mobile to Dolby 5.1 surround mixing.
Retro & indie games
I shipped games on hardware with tiny memory budgets, so I know how to make a lot out of a little and make it sound authentic.
Pinball, arcade & casino
Dozens of arcade, pinball, and casino titles. Short loops, punchy effects, and sound that holds up in a loud room.
Kids & family media
Music and effects for Nickelodeon, Disney, and Sesame Street titles, plus children's interactive storybooks.
Library & custom tracks
Production music for cable and video: a catalog of ready-to-license tracks, or something custom to your brief.
Listen
Tap a track to play. Library music is ready for film, TV and video; game music comes from shipped titles.
