Updated everything in my portfolio with SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/carlocastellano

Carlo made the music for Task Manager (my versus compo entry) and he's currently working on the soundtrack and audio for The Swapper. He has often exceeded my expectations by perfectly interpreting and carrying out even the most vague ideas. He's been very open to feedback and suggestions while also being able to keep up with deadlines.

He's generally been a very nice person to work with and I can definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented musician or audio designer.

Many thanks, it is a pleasure working with you!

[Update:]

Update: added a new game in development (soundtrack preview) The Swapper by Facepalm Games

A little unused theme I composed for a game, few weeks ago.

I've been listening to the Invaders Corruption album for the last two days, very nice work sir!

Thank you! I really enjoyed working on that project.

Update: added a track in the Misc Game Soundtrack for the game Task Manager

Well, now I play ping pong balls

Carlo!!! Beautiful work on that Amelie theme!! WOW! I love where the drums and synth kick in. Shit... My heart totally sank a bit.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it

EDIT: Football bass drum!!! Badass!

eheh, I didn't have a real bass drum yet but I wanted to record something at least "usable"...
