I'm grateful that they trusted me with a LOT of high-profile sounds, and I hope you enjoy it! It's on store shelves and #gamepass so if you pick it up let me know and we can race together 🏎🏎⁣ ⁣ Super massive thanks to my wife and the whole family for all the support, especially over the past few years. If you told pre-COVID-era Josh that he'd be a #sounddesigner for AAA video games, he would've said "Wow, that'd be really cool."⁣ ⁣ I'll also post some of my sound design work on Forza soon! See you on the starting line! @forzamotorsport_official #forza #gameaudio #motorsport #gamedev #racingsimulator

Hey everyone, here's a sound redesign of the Flame Sling incantation from Elden Ring. I'm absolutely loving the game, and will be doing a lot more redesigns from it. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #eldenring #magicspells #incantations #gameaudio #sounddesign #redesign #reels
Hey y'all! Here's my MIDI mockup of an excerpt from Alan Silvestri's extraordinary soundtrack for the Tom Hanks movie "Cast Away" (2000).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Something especially notable about this movie is that there's absolutely no music soundtrack while Chuck is on the island, heightening the feeling of isolation. It's only when Chuck leaves the island that the music finally plays, symbolizing hope and motivation. What a phenomenal movie.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The MIDI programming was done in Nuendo 12, and the mixing/mastering in Pro Tools. ⁣ ⁣ #castaway #tomhanks #soundtrack #midi #midimockup #composer #alansilvestri #music #moviesoundtrack #nuendo #protools
