About
I’m Steve Chahley, a versatile audio professional with 30+ years spanning music production, recording engineering, sound design, and audio implementation. With a year of hands-on game sound design at Pong Game Studios and a lifetime of deep musical knowledge, I bring a unique blend of technical precision and musical sensibility to every project. I excel at crafting immersive soundscapes, editing and synchronizing audio to picture, and collaborating in fast-paced studios or remote teams.
My background working with independent artists and studios has sharpened my ear for storytelling through sound, making me well-suited to projects like Thera: The Inverted Planet, where audio must serve both comedy and action in equal measure. I thrive in collaborative, deadline-driven settings and pride myself on delivering emotionally resonant audio tailored to each narrative.
