I’ve been playing guitar since I was 15, my 2nd instrument! One of my main compositional tools. Play live with bands and record with it in the studio.

Trombone was my 1st instrument. I still play today, recording in the studio and performing live with various projects.

"Sam's SFX work absolutely nails the feeling of my animations and brings the project to the next level. Not only is he talented, but just a really nice person to work with - I plan to use him on any projects that I need SFX."

Sound is an essential pillar of any media project

It’s so powerful in strengthening your storytelling and narrative. Sound brings visuals to life, music sets the tone, and together they both add to the unique identity of your story. It can be the soul and heartbeat. Making the project feel cohesive, one of a kind and professional.

Something can LOOK professional, but not feel believable, cinematic, or hit the way you intended - and that’s where skillfully recorded audio, editing, sound design and music can make all the difference.

Whether you are in pre-production, production or post, it’s always a good idea to be thinking about what your project is going to sound like.

I can help you with that!

With years of experience as a professional musician, sound designer and audio engineer, I help ensure your project sound the best it can be. Audio editing, sound effects, and music.

Together, we start with your vision of the story and aesthetic of what you are making. That is the foundation of where my work starts. Clear communication, iteration and direction from start to finish.

With your vision as the starting point for my focus, I can make intentional sound choices, sound design, compose and mix around our shared vision of what things should sound like.

Meanwhile, this allows you to focus on the bigger picture of your project and the numerous other departments it takes to bring your vision to life!

Let’s make your project sound awesome!

Hey, I’m Sam!

With over 11 years of professional experience in music and audio, I have a versatile skill set. After attending university for music and recording technology, I found work as a professional musician and occasional live sound engineer. Playing guitar and trombone in various scenarios, honing my skills as a musician, audio engineer, and composer.

Composing, recording and producing music eventually led me to start working with audio for media. Now I work with filmmakers, animators, game devs and creatives of all sorts. Making their projects sound the best they can be.

Sound to video holds a special place in my heart.

Some of my earliest memories as a kid are getting lost in the imagination of a good movie or video game. To me, working on sound and music for media harken’s back to some of those feelings I had as a kid. I think many creatives can relate to this desire for a viewer to get lost in their creation. The moment when the viewer sits back and is just in it. That’s what I strive for in my work with sound!

I am a very detail oriented person.

Something people may not know about me is that outside of sound work, I spent 15 years working in a custom wood shop 🗜 Crafting custom cabinets, furniture and other wooden goods. An eye for detail and thoughtful, methodical process is necessary in the shop. To me there is a crossover between these craftsmanship skills and sound that I use every day!

Thanks for taking the time to read about me! What are you up to? Ready for some sonic collaboration? Let's talk!
