Hi! My name is Matthew Dear and I am a games music composer/sound designer. I've combinde my two great passions of music/sound and gaming to create in-your-face, highly varied audio assets! Here are a few points about me: - I've been playing games and composing music for well over ten years, both covering a wide variety of styles and formats. - I run a pro-quality home studio; capable of both realistic, high quality recordings and far-out conceptual effects and ambiences. - I have recently completed an online course on using Wwise audio implementation software. You can see a demo of my Wwise work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzGzWWOzsiU - You can view my Soundtrack, SFX and voice acting portfolios on my website http://matthewdear.tumblr.com/ Some examples of my previous work: Sakura Fantasy - Steam visual novel - SFX & Ambience https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/sakura-fantasy-sfx-ambience-soundreel http://store.steampowered.com/app/375200/ 'Omegalith' - Work in progess - demo on Gamejolt https://gamejolt.com/games/platformer/omegalith/74201/ 'Puzzle House: Mystery Rising' - iOS game - SFX http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Puzzle+House%3A+Mystery+Rising/video.asp?c=64147 ‘Alf, Bet& Gam’ - iOS game – Music & SFX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZK2xKee9Iw ‘The Boy With Bombs’-iOS Game - SFX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppo0mBC4pmU Current Work Includes - Sakura Dungeon (SFX), Omegalith (iOS, SFX & Music).
