Joe is a Northampton-based musician, composer, and events host who is currently studying Popular Music at the University of Northampton (giving him free access to an industry-standard studio). Joe has always been drawn to compositional songwriting, likely from growing up listening to The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Muse, among others. His overall goal is to take influence from his diverse musical tastes whilst always innovating, applying his own personal and modern twist. As a video game fan, Joe’s favourite soundtrack of all time is Gustavo Santaolalla’s ‘The Last of Us’, which he admires for its masterful storytelling. As well as this, Tobias Lilja’s haunting soundtrack for ‘Little Nightmares’ has greatly influenced his own compositions for social-deduction game ‘Deception’. Above all, however, Joe believes ‘Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of the War of the Worlds’ is the greatest album ever written, particularly due to its immersive and vivid atmosphere, influencing Joe’s compositions and songs. _Website not available.

    Deception Soundtrack (Video Game)

    I created a fully original soundtrack for the video game ‘Deception’, a game currently in its testing phase and looking at releasing later this year.

    For this project, I designed synthesizers, recorded real instruments and manipulated ambient samples to create an immersive score. I collaborated closely with the sole developer, even testing the game in my own time to get a feel for the atmosphere that I had to replicate. The music has been massively well-received by other testers and previews can be found on my website.
