Aldo Perez

Composer, Sound Designer, Creative Director and Guitarist.

I have worked in many facets of the music industry such as live performance, theater creation, game design, and film scoring. Throughout my work experience, I have always retained my conviction that music is at core entertainment and the most powerful tool to captivate any audience. The listener should feel compelled to deepen their involvement and feel secure in the direction they’re being guided.

As Creative Sound Director for a major slot machine company, I began as the sole composer, and was eventually given the privilege to vet, hire and train my own staff. Ultimately creating a sound department that was 12 excellent composers, techs and post-production professionals that created more than 300 games under my direction and partnership over 11 years.

I was proud to have been the author of two huge hits for our company that ushered in the prosperity that lead to this success. I personally composed upwards of 40 games before overseeing a much larger production line.

One very critical element of my philosophy was that after reviewing many competitor games, I felt what was missing was an organic musical approach. Real instruments and high quality music could be blended into the mechanized and synthesizer driven designs. I also believed that much improvement could be made to designs while cutting costs. How? thru creativity and targeting the themes and signaling accurately.

As Creative Director and Composer I participated at all levels of game design and production including story, style, function, art, communication and continuity. My sights were always fixed on producing games that were strong, coherent and fun.

These days I’m excited to be composing and designing and now leading my own company with several superb designers with whom I shared that journey.

I look forward to bringing my experience and energy to your project and success.
