About

Hi!

My name is Alexander Olsen and I am a freelance game sound designer based in Oslo, Norway. I am passionate about creative audio and storytelling and I always strive to create better sonic experiences for video games.

I have been working with audio for many years and have delved into many different disciplines such as acoustics, psychoacoustics, ambisonics & spatial audio, audio engineering, audio programming, music composition and sound design for interactive media. I have a Bachelor and Masters’s degree in Audio & Music Technology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology which have provided me with a broad skillset and an abundance of knowledge regarding the subject of audio.

I have done sound design for several student projects and smaller indie projects. I have also worked in-house for a Norwegian based game studio where I did sound design, audio implementation and audio programming. In addition to this, I have also composed music for numerous short films and video games.

I am also an avid gamer and have been playing video games since I was a little kid. My favourite types of games are the ones that have a good storyline and a complex world that combines visual and sonic elements in a way that creates deep and unforgettable immersive experiences.

I am a very active person. I enjoy the outdoors and love going on hikes and surrounding myself with beautiful nature and sceneries. I like watching movies and socializing. I am also a metalhead who plays guitar and screams in a metal band. At the moment, we are currently in the process of recording our debut album.
