What if UI feedback sounded more musical? Created an alternative audio take on Xuanyi Li’s UI animation for MEDA’s music video “Rollback.” A more retro-futuristic, 80s style on this one... Here is the Original by Xeksenk: www.behance.net/gallery/2157...

Just finished a quickdesign exercise using synth layers in this visuals of a Esoteric Device VFX by Lefi S using UE5 Niagara. FORM + Prism in NI Reaktor were key tools for the sound here, specially the “Tetris” moment 🎧 Fun little experiment!

Saw WARFARE in the cinema yesterday. One of the most intense experiences I've ever had in a film, a masterclass in tension, realism and sound design.
I'm genuinely curious if my heart rate ever dropped below 130 bpm 🤯

Saw this UE5 CS2 remake and had to add sound.
Slow-mo window scene is a perfect playground for the shell pass by, breaking glass, and rainy int/ext. Good exercise!
