Dogu and our team worked both in person and remotely, and he delivered original music and sound design that truly complemented our projects. He stands out with his attention to detail and genuine passion for making original music. His help with audio implementation into the engine is particularly handy."

I create original soundtracks (OSTs) that enhance storytelling, and world-building, blending cinematic / orchestral score techniques with modern sound design. I specialize in leitmotif composition and recurring themes, crafting musical identities, and therefore, a cohesive, tailored soundtrack. I am experienced in incorporating ethnic and atmospheric elements into my music.

I am a proficient audio engineer, capable of taking field recordings and turning them into custom instruments. Unique sound palettes, tailored specifically to each project.
In the example below, I turn sounds from a nutcracker into horror-tension cue.

Adaptive Audio
Interactive audio plays a key role in immersing the player in gameplay, and the world the game is set in.
As a Mechanical Engineering PhD holder, I am technically inclined and am comfortable in system-level thinking. I design adaptive audio systems that respond to gameplay states (i.e. player is safe vs in danger). Through interactive audio, event-based logic and Real-Time Parameter Control (RTPC), I build audio systems that evolve seamlessly with player actions and in-game events.
In the comparison below, the music responds to how much time the player has left.
State: Plenty of Time
0:00/1:34
State: Time Running Out
0:00/1:34
The next example is from a horror-maze game. At first, the music is more ominous and ambiguous. When the player finds the first clue, the piano is triggered to signal progress.
I am experienced in handling game audio from creation to integration.
I implement responsive audio systems using Audiokinetic Wwise and FMOD Studio, and have experience in full middleware integration with Unity audio and Unreal Engine audio. I make use of vertical layering and horizontal re-sequencing to build non-repeating looping and keep the player engaged. The result is robust, scalable game engine audio.
Here is a clip of me teaching Wwise to Sound Arts & Design students at university.
