Eli Hanson

Eli HasonSome of my earliest memories are of recording sounds off the radio onto cassette tapes, and learning editing with the double cassette deck on my boom box.

My life has been full of recording, creating, and sharing my own filter of sound through field recording trips around the world, getting folks dancing through my DJ sets, creating new galaxies of sound in games, or setting off into dreamland with my electronic compositions.

My work in being a sound designer for the game industry has been inspired by the enjoyment and excitement I felt when playing on early consoles, and the many nights spent at the arcades of my youth.

When I began working in the industry I enjoyed the challenge of making audio systems work across many platforms with so much localization, and saw the technical challenges as my new holy grail.

I have always enjoyed the way I heard the sound signatures of games, and getting to work on asset creation for Sonic Boom : The Rise of Lyric was a treat after having the soundscape in my head for decades. 

Projects include; Underworld Ascendant, Sonic Boom: The Rise of Lyric, Thief, WET, Naughty Bear, MySims Skyheros, Silent Hill: Homecoming, The Golden Compass


Tyler Gillis

Tyler GillisTyler is an award-winning Sound Designer from British Columbia, who is best known for his work in Video Games and Movies.

Tyler has worked with and trained under Leo & Emmy Award Winning Sound Designers, as well as Academy Award, TEC/G.A.N.G Award Winning Composers/Sound Designers.

Recording and creating sounds is a lot of fun, playing with sound is extremely satisfying, and storytelling through sound is emotionally moving.

I want to bring that fun and enjoyment and emotional depth to users and viewers. If I can use sound to affect a person’s understanding of their world or game and project, then I feel I’ve done my job.

It’s not just about “making a sound for a game element”, but making the game, story, film, or other projects feel real.

Hawk Loewen (Junior Sound Editor)

HawkWebsitePhoto.pngHawk is a music lover, who started turning that passion into his career at an early age. Since finishing an intense college program focused on music composition and sound design, he has gone on to provide music and audio for various games, short films, and media projects across Canada and the US. My focus is not just on telling the story of your project but giving it emotion and energy. Each game, movie, and demo has its own universe of unique audio that needs to be carefully crafted and brought to life. I truly believe that just because it sounds good, doesn't mean it can't be improved.
