Shakes & Fidget
Sound Design (since 2021)
Monster Sounds
Shakes & Fidget is a funny fantasy role-playing satire.I look forward to it every time I get new crazy monsters or weapons to create sounds for. The artwork is so inspiring, it's really fun to brainstorm about and then realize the craziest ideas.I usually either use my own voice or drag my two favorites Mathilde Hoffmann or Bastian Clausdorff in front of the microphone and let them perform a few "huarrrrs" or "mua-ha-ha-has". I then process the recordings with all kinds of effects and add foley sounds, like clothes, armors and swords to get satisfying and matching sounds for all the great assets.
Hellevator Music
One day I got the task of composing a short music track for the "Hellevator" - basically an elevator to hell. In keeping with all the clichés, I unpacked my acoustic guitar, picked out the right samba chords and started recording. Some latin percussion and a whistled melody on top rounded off the whole piece of elevator style music.To get a real.. burner, the ambience was also important to support the music with crackling fires and some screams in the background. Designing such ambiences are of course important for all the areas in the game for example wether it's threatening or cold, or whether you're inside a large gingerbread dragon..
