About Me
I've been making music since I was four years old!
I am a sound designer and composer from jolly old England. I am currently based in Oslo, Norway, where I live with my partner and our son.
I have been making music since I was very young and became involved in the Norwegian indie game scene in early 2014.
I joined Antagonist, a small indie studio based in Oslo, three years ago as the composer. I then became the sound designer, the writer and responsible for marketing and social media.
I am now the CEO as well and we recently released our first game, Through the Woods, to good reviews and happy fans!
Composer
I write music in many styles for computer games, film and TV. The numbers attached to these points are meaningless, by the way; they just came with the Wordpress theme.
Sound Designer
I produce believable and creative audio to make your game world come alive.
Recording studio
I have my own little professional studio which I have been putting together for many years
I am a nice guy!
I am very easy to get on with and work hard to make sure I operate within budgets and timescales. I left one percent off because sometimes, you know... I can get hangry.
