Recording, Editing & Mixing
During my final year at university, an exciting recording project started in anticipation of a visit from producer Anders Wollbeck. Musicians in their third year of the "Rock Program" composed their own music for this project. The recording took place at Musikhögskolan Piteå and was carried out by both myself and Linus Sjöholm. Subsequently, I took on the responsibility of editing the recordings, while Sjöholm and I collaborated once again for the final mixing stage at Studio Gröndahl.
Audibility & Preference of DA Overload Associated with True Peak
May 2023
Other
Bachelor's Thesis
My Bachelor's thesis investigates whether True Peak values exceeding 0 dBTP cause auditory distortion. This topic has sparked debates among mastering engineers, and my curiosity was piqued when I discovered the scarcity of existing studies addressing this issue. Within this thesis, I explain multiple principles within digital audio processing.

Sound Design
Image Sound Design
Sound has the ability to narrate a story, one interesting medium for this is through designing sound for an image. This shares a resemblance with traditional Radio Plays, yet they rely solely on their auditory elements to convey the narrative. The true achievement of such designs lies in their capacity to evoke mental imagery even without visual aid. In the creation of this particular sound design, inspiration was drawn from the games Skyrim, New World, and Valheim.
