It was always an absolute pleasure to collaborate and work with Erle. Great vibes both in his grooves and his personality.
Jarrod McDevitt
Erle is, hands down, the most talented Sound Designers I've had the pleasure of working with. We've worked together for several years across multiple companies on various genres of games and each time Erle never misses a beat, excelling at conveying the essence of the games in music, sound fx, and voice overs. His skills are versatile and knowledge of his craft is extensive. Erle's exceptional understanding of music theory and vast chord structuring combined with his arsenal of skills of various instruments and computer software is the catalyst that transports the user to a believable time or place and stimulates a player's emotional response necessary during strategic moments in the game. This seamless transition and harmony that Erle creates between auditory and visual art help to give an immersive experience to the player. Separate from his skill set as a Sound Designer, Erle has a positive attitude and always wants what is best for the game as well as the team he is working with. He has a solid work ethic and gets the job done every time. I hope to continue working with him for years to come.
