My Game audio journey..
..began with a passion for playing videogames and working with sound. So for me it was a natural conclusion to connect these things, and since I started studying in Trossingen I have been able to learn a lot about the technical aspects, sound design, what game audio is and the possibilities.
In the last couple of years I have regularly been involved in projects and game jams,
making games, working with skilled creatives from many different fields
and getting to know wonderful people!
Bachelor Thesis
My bachelor project, where I developed a music system in Wwise that uses aleatoric techniques to produce a generative soundtrack.

Therapee
A fun, skillbased minigame created in Unity and Wwise. The soundtrack is fully diegetic and, together with the immersive sound design, adds story and context to the gameplay.

Platformer Game
A project where I combined 8-Bit and modern rock music for an adaptive soundtrack in Unreal 4 and FMOD and also reworked the sound design.
Viking Village
A project where I explored the immersive effect of sound and music in games, created in Unity and Wwise. The level is brought to life through sound and I also created two versions, one with a peaceful, positive mood and one with a scary mood.
Back To Earth
A relaxing 3D mobile game for Android. I composed the soundtrack, did sound design, recorded and edited voice over and implemented everything with Wwise.

Isolation
A prototype for a game design document of a 2D point and click adventure. I designed and prototyped a generative music system and implemented it with FMOD.
Where I Came From
An emotional story-driven puzzle adventure. In our team of two I was responsible for the creation of music and sound, its implementation with FMOD and all the 2D art for the game.
