Hi!

My name is Matt Dear, I am a sound designer, composer and audio implementor. I've combined my two great passions of audio and gaming to create in-your-face, highly varied audio assets!

Portfolio: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1

Here are a few points about me:
- I've been making audio for games since 2014, during that time I've worked on a wide variety of projects covering many different styles.

- I run a pro-quality home studio; capable of both realistic, high quality recordings and far-out conceptual effects/ambiences.

- I also do freelance work at OMUK's London studio. OMUK are a world-renonowned dialogue studio, working on games since 1996!

- You can view my Soundtrack, SFX and dialogue portfolios via my website http://matthewdear.tumblr.com/

- Last year I completed an online course using Wwise audio implementation software. I've since used this knowledge to program my own audio systems.

You can see a demo of my Wwise work here:
