Composition, music systems and implementation

Headshot_Circle_PavGekko.png

Developed together

I compose music around your game's identity, mechanics and emotional goals. By developing the score and its interactive systems together, I ensure the music responds to gameplay while maintaining a cohesive musical identity. Every detail serves your game, backed by industry-recognised craftsmanship.

Featured Projects

Spirit of the North 2

AMBIENT · ETHEREAL · MAGICAL · MYSTICAL

The score aims to evoke the scale and solitude of Icelandic landscapes and  northern lights alongside the presence of an unseen spiritual world. Sparse arrangements, ethereal textures and spacious orchestration convey both the vastness of the landscape and the mystery beyond it. 

 

Interactive reorchestration allows these elements to shift with the world and the player’s actions, shaping the experience while preserving the score’s meditative character..

​

Smalland: Survive the Wilds

WHIMSICAL · CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD · ENCHANTING · NEO-CLASSICAL

The Smalland soundtrack draws on the rich orchestral sound of classic Hollywood adventure scores, with classical orchestration, symphonic development and expressive interplay between woodwinds, strings and brass. Its whimsical character carries a hint of magic and nostalgia, capturing the wonder of exploring an immense wilderness from a tiny creature’s perspective.

Gameplay, Setting & Story

I explore your game’s core mechanics, gameplay loop, setting and story to understand what defines it, how players should feel and what feedback the music needs to provide.

Composition designed for interactivity

I compose music specifically for the interactive systems.

I design and implement in Wwise and Unreal Engine 5, delivering a complete end-to-end solution from composition to implementation. The score and its behaviour are developed together to serve your gameplay.

A composer's & game developer's perspective

I am a game developer. My experience as a Game Producer, Scrum Master and Audio Director helps me understand your design goals, production constraints and team workflows. Having worked with Jira, Git, Perforce and SVN, I’m comfortable working within your development pipeline and translating your game’s needs into practical musical decisions.

Custom music identity of your gameworld

I shape a distinctive sound palette for each project through instrumentation, writing style, arrangement and sound design. From traditional instruments and synths to live orchestras and sounds crafted in the studio, every choice serves your game’s identity.

Industry-recognised otherworldly sound with highly emotional impact

My music is known for its emotional impact. From the urgency of combat to the quiet solitude of exploration, I draw on a wide range of styles to shape each score around your game’s identity and what you want players to feel.

An otherworldly sound for fantasy, sci-fi and mysticism.
