Hi there!

My name is Lawrence Steele and I am a composer and sound designer specialising in creating audio for games operating under the name 'Satsuma Audio' (I just really like citrus fruit)

Games and music have always been my favourite things in life (except citrus fruits) and so to have the opportunity to combine them both to make a living is just awesome.

I have 10+ years experience creating audio and have made sounds for numerous published titles, mainly iOS and web based. I give 100% (not 110% because that is impossible) on every job I do and always strive to create outstanding audio.

Rates

My rates are "indie-friendly", flexible and can be adjusted to suit the budget of any project, plus I am always open to negotiation so just let me know what you need and I'm sure we can come to an arrangement that suits both of us!

-

Music

I pride myself on my versatility and love to create music in all different styles. Everything from orchestral fantasy to lighthearted, casual game themes to chiptunes and even dubstep (or how about ninja boss fight, or orchestral fantasy dubstep!)

I have also created a Video Showreel which showcases some of the projects I have worked on and the audio I created for them.

Sound Design

While I originally got into game audio through a love of composition, it didn't take long for sound design to become just as exciting and rewarding. I have created sound effects for numerous games, everything from UI clicks and puzzle game combo sounds, to magic spells, robots and even a cat firing a laser beam out of its nose (yes this actually happened!)

I have put together a Sound Design Demo Reel which shows some examples of my work and the range of sounds I can create.

I am also experienced with audio middleware such as FMOD and WWise and have experience implementing sounds within the Unity engine.

So it has been a while since my last post and a very busy few months!

I recently created lots of squelchy, gory sound effects for iOS zombie defense game Hipster Zombies (this one was a lot of fun), made music and sound effects for a couple of games for Slingo.com. Also, ongoing sound design work for the in-production MMORPG SideQuest, as well as some victory music for some real life slot machines and some other stuff which isn't quite finished yet!

Here are some nice things which people said about my work recently (I didn't make them say this I promise):

"Everyone over here at Slingo has been blown away by your work, honestly.  We can’t imagine why we’d use anyone else ever.  The artist on our team can’t stop gushing about how perfect the sounds are." - Jason Chin, Slingo.com

"Let me start by saying that the both of us are really happy with the quality of the sounds so far ... We're very confident that you've been the right choice for us and our little project here." - Martin Nerukar, Sharkbomb Studios.

However, it looks as though the workload is beginning to clear slightly so I would love to take on some more projects, so if you need any music or sound design for your current project, I would love to hear from you!

New music!

I recently wrote this spooky guitar based track as the main theme for RustBox Games (http://www.rustboxgames.com/) upcoming zombie shooter 'Zombie Jack' ... check it out on SoundCloud here: http://soundcloud.com/satsuma-audio/zombies-among-us-rustbox-games

I am currently on the lookout for new work and projects to get involved with so if you need sounds or music give me a shout!

Thanks,

Lawrence

dear satsuma,

please post in the portfolios thread and not this one - it turns what is supposed to be a community for discussion into a ads column.
