About

A composer and sound designer from Portugal, specializing in videogames, I go by John Elliott.
While studying music for 9 years, music composition for 6 years, interactive music and sound design for 2 years, and musicology for 5 years, I’ve focused on creating music for videogames while maintaining a deep interest in creating art in various forms.
I’ve worked in 20 games so far, the most representative being the music and sound design of my latest project Townseek, a trading exploration game with lots of character.
I am also part of the Research Cluster in Sound and Music in Digital and Audiovisual Media of CESEM at the NOVA University of Lisbon, doing research on the music of niche online communities.
