My Music
Personal Info
Martin Stig Andersen
As an independent composer and sound designer I’m exploring the dynamic relationship between sound and image as a means to revealing new stories and emotional experiences.
Whether contributing to game development or film projects I enjoy being part of cross-disciplinary working environments aiming at reaching new heights in audio-visual expression.
My work is often characterized by blurring the dividing line between music and sound design, and while I cover the whole spectrum I’m also collaborating with other composers and sound designers in creating unified sound worlds.
For a project to stand out I believe it should have a unique and distinctive sonic identity, and I like to dig down deep, through extensive experimentation and research, to discover what that sound might be.
My work has received several international awards including an Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design, an IndieCade Sound Award and dozens of nominations including one for BAFTA’s ‘Use of Audio’ award for my work on LIMBO.
