Sound Design Coursework
These projects are a part of my sound design coursework at Bournemouth University, pursuing a BA (Hons) in Music and Sound Production. They showcase my capacity to conceptualise and create original sounds, whether through Foley, recording, synthesis, or manipulation of existing sounds, as well as my technical proficiency in audio editing software. All these skills come together to provide a smooth and quality audio experience.
5.1 Surround Composition and Sound Design
Created the 5.1 surround sound composition and sound design for a movie scene as part of university coursework. This project, a pivotal component of my education at Bournemouth University, spotlights my expertise in crafting immersive audio experiences within a 3D spatial environment (not fully shown without proper hardware, this video below is in stereo).
Hip-Hop Production
In addition to my diverse portfolio encompassing sound design, music composition, and immersive audio experiences, I specialize in creating high-quality hip-hop and drill music productions for clients and rappers. Below is a custom drill beat I made for a client.
Spec Fitness Ad - Sound Design and Composition
Produced and edited a spec-fitness ad using royalty-free footage, while also handling sound design and music composition. This project demonstrates my ability to merge visual elements with compelling auditory experiences, immersing the viewer completely.
Virtual Reality Game Spec Work
Developed a fantasy Virtual Reality (VR) game spec work featuring a title screen and tavern scene, integrating Celtic and medieval-inspired composition work with sound design. It demonstrated my adeptness in creating 3D sound design within the VR environment to create an immersive auditory experience. This showcases my skills and knowledge of the expanding VR/AR and Mixed-reality industries, which will all be in need of sound design and music.
