I'm Joel,

a composer and sound designer with a deep passion for storytelling through music.

I specialize in creating immersive soundscapes, with a particular love for ambient textures and heavy guitar-driven tracks.

I love building my own samples and synths from organic sounds and crafting sounds that live both within the game and beyond it.

My biggest influences come from the horror and psychological genres. I have a special place in my heart for soundtracks from the PSX and PS2 survival horror era, so Akira Yamaoka and Masami Ueda are some of the names I look up to. I’m also influenced by the more gothic and emotional soundtracks of Danny Elfman, as well as the industrial, guitar-based themes of early-2000s alternative metal, which also play a part in shaping my references.
