    uniE621 Alliance Peacefighter (Soundtrack)
    It was a fantastic opportunity to create the soundtrack for Alliance Peacefighter, a linear, story-driven space sim evoking 90s classics like X-Wing and Wing Commander. I composed, produced, and mastered over 60 minutes of original music for the game, crafting a diverse score that blends ambient textures, orchestral arrangements, and electronic elements. My goal was to capture a nostalgic feel reminiscent of those classic space sims while forging a unique sonic identity specifically for Alliance Peacefighter's universe.

    uniE621 Tamdhu: Spain to Speyside Documentary (Editor and Sound Design)
    A documentary charting the six-year journey of the distillery’s exclusive sherry casks. In the role of Sound Mixer and Sound Designer, I created an immersive soundscape that elevated the viewer's sensory experience, using detailed sound effects to highlight the crucial stages of the process, from the forests to the barrel toasting. My focus was on designing realistic aural textures while ensuring clear, consistent dialogue across all on-location interviews, delivering a final mix that met professional standards and significantly enhanced the documentary’s appreciation for the time and effort behind the final product. As the Video Editor, I shaped the complex raw footage into a cohesive and compelling 12-minute narrative, strategically pacing the edit to balance the grand scale of the Spanish landscapes with the intimate detail of the multi-generational coopering craftsmanship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYLQ2FBTG0
    uniE621 Comic Book Cody (Soundtrack)
    I composed the original score and created the sound effects for Comic Book Cody, a platform game developed by Eric Bernier. The game follows young Cody's quest to retrieve his cherished comic book collection from nefarious burglars. Drawing inspiration from classic superheroes like Superman, Spider-Man, and The Flash, as well as the platformer genre itself, we chose a dynamic orchestral style for the music to capture the heroic and adventurous spirit of the game. It was a pleasure bringing Cody's world to life through sound.
