Sound Effects

I am a London based music composer, audio producer and sound designer. I focus my work in electronic music production and sound design for film, audiovisual performances, installations and interactive media. I create unique and high quality sound libraries for film, games, music and anything in between.

As a musician, I was half of the duo LCC who released two albums (Bastet and d/evolution) on the prestigious label Editions Mego. We also released music on Modern Obscure Music, Subtempo and Comfortzone, among others.

I have also released music on Arboretum and QTZL under the alias of NWRMNTC. More recently, I have released music on Nicolás Jaar’s label, Other People, as well as on Mego.

With a prolific career performing live, I have played at renowned events and festivals such as Barbican London, Berlin Atonal, Sónar Barcelona, and Hong Kong, MUTEK Montreal, Argentina and Mexico, Espacio Fundación Telefónica Lima, Turner Contemporary, CCD México, MIRA Festival, LEV and Norberg.

As regular collaborator with filmmaker Pedro Maia, we have released together several audiovisual projects and tour around Europe. In collaboration with digital artist CLON, I have also been exploring the infinite capacities of surround and interactive sound for games, VR and XR projects. We have toured worldwide to present CLON’s live video game META AV.

Always looking for the most innovative challenges, my music has been sent to space as part of the project Sonar Calling in collaboration with SETI and METI International in search of extra-terrestrial live intelligence.

My passion for film includes diverse soundtracks and film appearances in acclaimed documentaries such as I Hate New York, Ciutat Morta, Tarajal and Hadijatou.

Academic Background

I have a Master of Arts in Audio Production from University of Westminster, London and a Bachelor of Science in Teaching from University of Oviedo.

I am very interested in sound research and electronic music practices. Over the last years, I have been imparting several workshops and masterclasses in different institutions, including Berklele College Valencia, Somerset House Studios, London (x Mutant Promise), London Music Conference, Point Blank Music School and MUTEK Argentina, among others.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.

I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!

A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
