FEATURED ALUM OF THE SEASON
Christiaan Clark
Christiaan has just received his doctoral degree from the University of California, Riverside Digital Composition program. Currently pursuing his childhood dream to work on audio for video games, he recently worked as a Sound Design Intern at F84 Games in Van Nuys, California and has since worked for them as an independent contractor on numerous occasions. His love of video games inspires his entire technical creative aesthetic — the perfect melding of intelligible and sensible beauty. While researching for his dissertation, he has discovered, programmed, and implemented fresh ways for future video game composers to procedurally generate their musical vision inside of game engines. Procedural audio allows musical elements such as timbre, melodic density, rhythmic intensity, etc. to be driven and altered entirely through player choices instead of relying on the concrete nature of recorded audio.
