AARON BROWN SOUND
GAME AUDIO SOUND DESIGNER – COMPOSER – AUDIO GEEK
MY STORY
Since 2007 I’ve created audio experiences with industry juggernauts including LucasArts, Epic, Playful, Electronic Arts, Activision, Naughty Dog, Starbreeze, Raven and notable mobile gaming developers. During my career I have been fortunate enough to have contributed my skills to a few video games that have won audio awards including Call of Duty Vanguard, Uncharted 3 and The Force Unleashed 2.
I’ve also crafted sound and music for experiences in VR with titles such as Super Lucky’s Tale for Oculus, Robo Recall for Oculus, Path Of the Warrior and multiple projects for Starbreeze using their next-gen StarVR headset. In 2018 I shared my VR knowledge by giving my 5D Audio presentation at GDC.
Along with my career I also feel a strong need to give back and build a better community. I currently live in sunny Austin TX where I run the Austin game audio meetups and I was most recently the Audio Lead at Arkane Austin. I’m currently exploring opportunities for what’s next in my career.

SKILLS
GAME AUDIO
I live and breath game audio. The process of bringing a game to life through sound and music is a magical experience to be a part of. Seeing a team, and eventually the players, love the end results makes all the hard work extremely worth it.
COMPOSITION
My background in classical music and studio production gives me a versatile edge when composing for games. Also, my dog DD likes to get down with some Pawdular Synthesis.
FIELD RECORDING
One of my favorite parts of sound is to record new sounds in new places while travelling. I carry this D100 with me everywhere I go and if you see me around there’s a good chance I’m recording something!
