ABOUT
Hi! I’m Lars, and I make sound for video games.
I specialise in designing impactful audio assets, implementing audio assets and features into middleware, and crafting compelling cinematic audio. I love working on both the creative and technical aspects of video games as part of an audio team.
In my spare time I am an avid gamer, with an untamed love for epic adventure stories, theme park builders, and couch co-op indies. When not roaming the digital space, I like to write songs at the piano, hit synthesizers as part of coverband Jambassadors, ride a mountainbike, play with cats, and eat pizza.
Audio software: REAPER, Wwise, Ableton, Soundly, FMOD, Nuendo, Fabfilter, Izotope, SoundToys, AudioEase, Xfer, Boom, Logic Pro
Additional software: Unreal Engine 5, Perforce, Unity, Jira, Confluence, Visual Studio, Git, Trello, Asana

PROJECTS
WEAPON SOUND DESIGN
A redesign of realistic and sci-fi weapons. Although these sound effects are set to picture in a linear fashion, the weapon sounds themselves are built up following a typical video game-like approach of layering.
IN-HOUSE SOUND DESIGNER – PUBG STUDIOS
From 2021 to 2024, I worked as a fulltime in-house Sound Designer at Krafton Europe, under PUBG Studios.
I designed and implemented audio assets for the upcoming AAA extraction shooter ‘Project Black Budget’, using REAPER, Wwise and Unreal Engine 5.
SYNC VS ASYNC – AN FMOD STUDIES
An eploration of the audio implementation design process when using a single FMOD event as the master timeline and instigator of all stereo audio events. The 3d narrative game Rosie D for which I did sound design and FMOD + Unity implementation was made during the Global Game Jam 2020.
SOUND REDESIGN – SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER
The full Sound Redesign video from Shadow of the Tomb Raider, including exploration, cinematics and combat mechanics. I recorded over 75% of all used samples myself, using base materials like wood, stone and rope.
Vocal performance kindly provided by Nola Klop.
CONTROL REAPER USING A DUALSHOCK 4 CONTROLLER
Here I showcase a simple solution for not having to constantly walk back and forth between computer and recording area during a solo recording or foley session. All basic actions like navigating Reaper, adding rec tracks, solo/mute etc are functional. The DS4’s Light Bar even turns red while recording, a studio classic! Made with DS4Windows.
