As the General Director of Tourism for Venise-en-Quebec, I am passionate about events and the wow factor in everything I undertake.

I also worked with the audio team at Behavior Interactive in 2023. I am passionate about audio in all its forms and a fan of video games. My background has led me to work on various artistic projects, and over the years, combining these passions has come naturally. For me, all the sounds of everyday life can be a source of inspiration and creativity triggers.  

Graduated in integration and sound design for video games, I use the following software:  

- Wwise  

- Reaper/Cubase/Nuendo  

- Unity  

- Perforce  

- C# script with Visual Studio  

Introduction to:  

- Protools  

- Unreal

As a host, composer, DJ, and sound designer in various musical projects, I ensure their artistic direction. Influential and trend-aware, I challenge myself to think outside the box by being versatile and original.

Additionally, I have several years of experience as a manager in the industrial sector, including many years as a quality technician, which has given me significant experience in a demanding production environment. (Check out my portfolio to learn more.)

TRYPTIQUE AUDIO

AVAILABLE ON: Steam

TYPE OF GAME: Sports

THEME: Hockey / Roguelite

​

SYNOPSIS

Tape to Tape combines the fast-paced gameplay of 90s hockey games with the gameplay enhancements of modern games, bringing together the best of arcade games and simulation games. Modern hockey games are more focused on emulating real hockey. These games are all about puck possession and slower play. Tape to Tape on the other hand is much faster and emphasizes speed and counterattacks while remaining true to the essence of hockey.

On offense, players can cross the rink at high speed from one zone to another thanks to their explosive accelerations. With the push of a button, players can pass the puck in succession for high-speed counterattacks.

Defensively, this same acceleration mechanism allows players to always stay in the heart of the action and perform, if necessary, violent checks anywhere on the ice.

MY ROLE

On this project I was in charge of the sound design of several aspects in the game. As much on sounds during the game, atmospheres and anthems of distinguished teams during the respective menus. I also had the responsibility of mixing several songs and themes.

AUDIO

A few studio and outdoor recording sessions were done for this project. The use of wood, plastic are ideal for tracing certain ice and player impact sounds. The use of personal and commercial soundbanks was also very useful.

AUDIO TEAM

A great solid, creative and clever team that I had the pleasure of working with.

ORGANIZATIONAL METHOD

On the schedule, weekly meetings with the team director to guide the artistic choices for the project as well as the distribution of roles in the team. A clear and well-filled asset list allowed us to clearly see the evolution of the project.

SYNOPSIS

During World War II, excessive experimentation on the Inpesca artifact resulted in an explosion on the ship. Riley wakes up after a week-long coma in a transformed environment. She quickly realizes that she is in danger in this affected ship. The entire crew is either dead or transformed.

MY ROLE

On this project I was responsible for the design and sound integration with @ Emile. Together we covered foley recording indoor and outdoor sessions, design and editing. The sounds were then approved by the other members of the team in order to integrate them into the Wwise middleware.

AUDIO

For our studio recording sessions, we used metal plates, steel shelves, construction tools (drill, saw, sandblaster, etc.) and also raw materials such as plywood, styrofoam, plastic and even dug into the bin for plastic packaging.

Outdoor sessions on boats and on the waterfront were also carried out for marine and other sound environments on the ship.

The use of commercial soundbanks has also been very useful.

DIFFICULTIES

Created remotely, this complete video game is made in 15 weeks.

Near the end of the project, the loss of 2 directors and other important allies contributed to tightening the bonds within the entire production team. The management of vacant tasks was done by me and my colleagues. Working together with the other teams (modelers, 3D animators, writers and level design), we were able to meet the challenge.

AUDIO TEAM

Composed of: @Patrick Tremblay, @Charles-Antoines Morin, @Emmanuel Doucet, @Emile Dubé, @Etienne Thibeault, Vincent Dargis and mysefl.

A great solid, creative and clever team that I had the pleasure of working with every day.
