SOUND DESIGN

Sound design for music software and digital instruments

I design presets, patches, and sound libraries for plugins, instruments, and DAW environments, working with music technology teams including Ableton and Native Instruments. The focus is on musicality, consistency, and reliability - sound design that ships, scales, and is used in real-world workflows.

Native Library Development
for Ableton Live

Since 2018, I have worked as an Ableton Official Sound Partner, contributing sound design and native library content across instruments, effects, racks, and stock library releases.

The work required deep synthesis knowledge and an advanced understanding of Massive X's architecture, translating genre-specific aesthetics into practical, performance-ready tools. The resulting presets were designed for usability and consistency, balancing character with clarity across a wide range of musical applications.

Expansion Pack Development

‘Organic Hyperpop’ is an expansion pack developed for Klevgrand's OneShot drum sampler, built around the idea of transforming everyday materials into expressive and highly playable drum instruments.

Role

Sound Design, Sampling, Preset Development, Demo Production

The project involved the complete development of the sound library, from concept and source recording through sampling, processing, kit design, preset creation, and demo production. Water, ice, paper, glass, metal, and silicone were recorded up close and reimagined through modern sound design, preserving the tactile character of the original materials while adapting them for contemporary production workflows.
