Hi, I'm Andrew Burns, a passionate composer, sound designer, and audio engineer with nearly a decade of experience in the audio industry. I love solving complex audio problems and collaborating with teams to bring creative projects to life from conception to completion. My expertise spans composition, sound design, audio editing, and mixing across various professional studio and home settings. I have a lot of indie game experience and have led full production cycles and directed larger audio teams. I have a very well outfitted studio in Montreal Canada with a very powerful computer, an unreasonably large synth collection, and I'm a multi instrumentalist who loves blending real instrumentation with deeper designed soundscapes and complex audio processing. _Website not available.
