I am Joseph Gornall, audio designer for games, animations and interactive mobile apps. I have a background in acousmatic and ambient composition, concluding in a speciality in the manipulation of the human voice.
After releasing a 'speech infused ambient album' in 2011, focus turned towards sound design, which started in education, and led towards commercial projects.
As part of a masters university project, I worked in a team to design and develop an augmented reality app for android mobiles.
In between projects and studies, I have backpacked to many cities across the world, in an attempt to experience new and exciting cultures.
