Hi, I'm Ferdinand Blystad—an advanced sound designer with nearly a decade of experience in music production and over five years of specializing in advanced sound design. I design and implement custom sound content for artists signed to major sample and preset companies, as well as for composers and game developers in the professional audio and entertainment industries. I thrive on cross-genre versatility and a rigorous attention to detail, delivering high-quality presets, tracks, and sound design that travel well in any setting. In freelance projects, I focus on creating commercially distributable sounds and mastering mixed projects, including EDM tracks for Norwegian duos and collaborations with North Audio Labs. I enjoy collaborating with artists, game developers, and producers to bring their sonic vision to life and push the boundaries of what sound can do.
