SatsumaAudio Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi there! Lawrence Steele here and I run Satsuma Audio, a provider of high quality music and sound effects for video games.I have no particular sentimental affinity for the satsuma, just thought it was a catchy name I have experience creating audio for numerous titles in a wide variety of styles. I've been into computer games and music pretty much my entire life so to combine the two to make a living is pretty damn awesome. I am extremely passionate about my work and strive to create something outstanding for every project I work on. (I'm also not good at starting sentences that don't begin with "I" ...) More about me and my work on my website http://satsu.ma, alternatively read on... One thing I love about writing music for games is you never know what style you will end up writing in next. Over the years I have composed everything from orchestral to chiptunes, gangsta beats, spooky jazz, happy puzzle themes, fast-paced bluegrass and of course... dubstep! For a wider selection of my work you can check out the audio page of my website. Or also the spiffy video showreel that should be located directly underneath this sentence. (Image links to YouTube video) I was first drawn to game audio by my love of writing music but soon discovered the wonders of sound design and now find it just as enjoyable and creatively rewarding as music composition. I've created SFX for a whole bunch of different games, most notable would be browser based MMORPG SideQuest which saw me create many hundreds of sounds for monsters, spells, skills etc.Another recent SFX project is upcoming iOS turn based strategy title WarBits for which I created a nice mix of retro interface sounds and big explosions! (WarBits trailer ) Here's the SFX showreel video... (Image links to YouTube video) When it comes to pricing I try and be as flexible and affordable as possible. My rates are 'indie-friendly' and I am always open for negotiation and willing to adjust to suit budgets of varying sizes. I always consider revenue share options and other payment methods too if the project seems like it will be fun or creatively rewarding to work on. So if you have any sound or music needs for your projects please get in touch, no job too big or small! You can reach me at: [email protected]@SatsumaAudio Or check out more about me and my work on my site http://satsu.ma TL;DR - I make sounds, maybe I make sounds for you?

SatsumaAudio Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hey all, I am currently on the lookout for new projects to get involved with, however I will be away (on my honeymoon!) for the first 2 weeks of September so won't be able to do anything then. Also... I recently worked on the music for the Engauge Kickstarter video. It's an indie "2-D action platformer set in a vibrant world of buzzing machinery." Anyway, I think the game looks really cool and I had a lot of fun making the music for it, I hope it succeeds so I can write more Please check it out and support it if you like what you see by clicking the shiny image below.

Binary Moon Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I've recently worked with Lawrence on my first html5 game (which I'll announce properly once it's finished) and he was great to work with and completed things quickly to a high standard. Will definitely work with him again in the future. Lawrence - congrats on the upcoming wedding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
