Matthew Dear - Audio engineer/SFX & Dialog Artist/Composer

Hi!

My name is Matthew Dear and I am a games music composer/sound designer. I've combined my two great passions of audio and gaming to create in-your-face, highly varied audio assets!
Here are a few points about me:


 - I've been playing games and composing music for well over ten years, covering a wide variety of styles and formats.

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

 - I have recently completed an online course using Wwise audio implementation software, graduating with an A. You can see a demo of my Wwise work here:
   



 - You can view my Soundtrack, SFX and voice acting portfolios via my website

 - You can actually download and play my Limbo demo here! All sound effects, music and ambiences created and implemented by me using Wwise

I've had a busy past few weeks, being on tour with my folk band Green Diesel.

But that's all finished now and I'm back at my home studio, looking forward to starting some new projects!
