Developed by Robot Riot Games and published by dtp entertainment AG, The Big Catch is a fresh online 3D fishing game with extensive social features. Players can cast the rod in several beautifully rendered landscapes using a multitude of different fishing poles, lines, baits, and tools. Utilizing the advanced cross-platform Unity 3D game engine, it features state-of-the-art graphics and a slick gameplay inside the browser.

As the project’s audio director, I created a light-hearted, jazz-tinged pop soundtrack for the experience and was responsible for the complete in-game sound design.

The Big Catch is currently in an open beta state, so if you have the Unity 3D player plug-in installed, you can give it a test ride!

I’ve recently completed my work on the original score for Colin Levy‘s new short film The Secret Number. The 15-minute psychodrama, which is based on a short story by Igor Teper, tells the intriguing story of a brilliant mathematician who claims to have discovered a new integer between 3 and 4. Technically, the film is still in its late post production stage – which didn’t keep it from winning three awards in a pre-release screening at Savannah Film Festival 2011, where it was named Best Student Film and has received the City of Savannah Award as well as the Panavision Student Cinematography Award. Congratulations to Colin and everyone involved!

“The Secret Number” is destined for a release later this quarter. I’ll also make sure that visitors of my site will be able to listen to the score, so keep an eye on this spot!

My original score for the 2010 CG short film Sintel has been nominated for a Peer Raben Award! Granted on an annual basis as part of the proceedings at Germany’s largest film music conference Soundtrack Cologne, the Peer Raben Award honors the best music in a national or international short film and is voted upon by a jury comprised of renowned filmmakers and composers.

Norwegian company ABAX, who specializes in mobile solutions for trip logging, fleet control and security, asked the animation wizards at Sandnes Media to create an advertisement for their NX-Buddy technology for securing camper vans and caravans against burglary, gas leaks, and fires. The resulting 2:30 image film, created entirely in the production company’s trademark hand-drawn 2D style, showcases some of the technology’s uses and advantages for mobile home users. I’ve been responsible for the sound design, audio editing and mixing of the advertisement.
