I am a Music Composer and Sound Designer. For the last 10+ years I have been creating music professionally and recreationally. In that timeframe, I have completed Music and Audio courses at Fanshawe College and Berklee Online, worked at multiple Game/Tech Companies, and contributed to countless indie and solo projects.

As a Composer in the Web Based Indie Game scene, my music has been featured dozens of times over (and counting), continuing to amass a following within the gaming and electronic music niche. I have been involved in several projects that have gained a wider, console/PC based release.

Outside of this space, I am endlessly interested in new ways I can push my songwriting, music production, and sound design further past the limit. I regularly seek out new sound design projects and challenges to continue improving my skills and widening my range.

Testimonials:

“While looking for a composer for my indie game project, I discovered Connor’s vast portfolio of work samples and reached out to introduce myself and the project.
From initial outreach to contract completion, Connor was an absolute professional and a joy to work with. Excellent communication and a high passion for quality; Connor’s ability to turn ambiguous directions into exceptional musical scores elevated the project to new heights.
I greatly enjoyed working with Connor and am excited for future collaborations. In the meantime, I strongly recommend him as a key talent to your teams.”

“I’ve worked with Connor on several projects over the past 10 years, and it’s always a pleasure. His attention to detail is exceptional, and his seemingly boundless creativity is a big reason I keep coming back.I’ve worked with Connor on several projects over the past 10 years, and it’s always a pleasure.

“I’ve worked with countless sound designers and composers over the years and Connor stands out above the rest. Stick Connor at a desk, give him the right tools and he will impress you day in and day out no matter the style you’re looking for. Atmospheric horror, corporate jingle, heavy metal, squishy ink, or gritty gunfire he can deliver what you want, at top quality, and with limited resources. If that weren’t enough, the guy is also organized, pro active, and a joy to work with. Given loose guidelines Connor will generate an initial sound list, with estimates and share them with the team unprompted. Talk to Connor, get a sample of his work, and you’ll understand what I mean.”

– Mike Baker, Partner at Decline Cookies, Former VP of Technology at Kindly Beast, Co-Founder of Karman Interactive

“Connor’s musical prowess is exceptional. Capable of hitting a wide range of styles and moods, he’s quick to come up with entertaining and enjoyable tracks and just as efficient to tweak them to fit the atmosphere or gameplay perfectly. A professional through and through he is excellent to work with.”

– Jon Keon, Partner at Decline Cookies, Former VP at Kindly Beast, Co-Founder of Karman Interactive

“I have hired Connor freelance at Canada Life for over 4 years now. He created countless one-of-a-kind music tracks that perfectly complemented the emotion of our video creative. As an artist and a business owner, Connor is extremely professional, responsive and fair with his pricing and amount of revisions. His talent shines through, able to craft from just a few samples and explanation of tone. One our most notable collaborative projects, the GroupNet video series was awarded an RGD In-House Design Award in 2019. Connor’s sound design was instrumental in bringing a feeling of high quality to our series. I certainly recommend his expertise as a solid investment in any video project.”

– Megan Raffa, Manager, Motion Design at Canada Life

“I had the incredible pleasure to work with Connor at Kindly Beast where everyday he showed constant initiative to create the best atmosphere and results for our IP’s. Connor’s talent lies not only in creating and designing world quality sounds and music but his ability to bring a world to life. In the initial stages of preproduction Connor was able to envision and develop what every key element of the game would sound like. I look forward to any studio who gets a hold of this creator because no matter what, he will go above and beyond to produce the best possible experience.”

– Brendon Bauman, Former Art Director at Skybox Labs on Halo Infinite, Former 3D Artist at Ubisoft Montreal, Former Art Director at Kindly Beast

“I have had the pleasure of working with and being friends with Connor for almost 5 years now. In our early years Connor was first diving into sound design for video games and while I had just started to develop them in school. Rumor spread fast about Matt’s sound design friend and his work began to flourish in the presentations and pitches I had to do; his audio grabbed people’s ears and turned their head to tell them “Hey look at me”. I am lucky to continue working with Connor to even today as I think our games would be nowhere close to engaging as they are now.”

– Matthew Hobbs, Artist at Doom Turtle, Indie Game Dev at ‘mmattugh’

“Connor was professional, easy to work with, and he delivers remarkable results! Check out his work!”
