    Hello there, 🖖 Welcome to my Upwork profile! I'm an audio specialist with nearly two decades of keen passion and scrupulous dedication in the field. I've been carefully crafting my skills and experience while always keeping a sharp eye + ear on what is current and upcoming in the industry, and I'm proud to be able to say that, so far I’ve been involved in the creation of more than a hundred interactive and/or narrative-based multimedia projects where delicate audio was always an integral part of the development process. These projects span multiple platforms and systems, ranging from interactive apps and video games for mobile, web, and desktop consoles to sound design and audio implementation for various hardware devices, such as electronic toys for children, casino game slots and self-containing sound machines for relaxation purposes and all the way to microscopic sound design for cutting-edge wireless earphone devices. Over the past couple of years, I've also had the opportunity to complete sound design, post-production and re-recording mixing for 2 feature-length documentary titles as well as a few short animations and art-house movies, some of which are also highlighted in my portfolio here on Upwork. My current interests revolve around audio development and sound implementation for video games and immersive multimedia experiences as well as sound design and spatial audio mixing for various media art and VR projects, including multichannel sound installations and site-specific walkthrough A/V experiences. If you have a project or a position you think I might be interested in, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I'm always happy to exchange some quality ideas with the right people, and hopefully, through that process, we can get to collaborate on something truly extraordinary! ✨

    Whether you are a one person company or a big enterprise; an independent artist or a label one, if you are here, it probably means you need to hand over your baby (lyrics, video, ad, animation, or an idea) to a music producer / sound designer. It’s a pretty scary moment since you’ve put a lot of effort and care on it. I guess… 1. You need someone you can trust and that’s not simply trying to sell you a service. Great Communication, Clear Workflow, and Trackable Pricing are essential to give you peace of mind regarding what's being done, and the quality of the deliverables; 2. You need someone who knows their craft with proven productions and portfolio. Your project shouldn't be handed over to a novice with no experience, or to someone who just wants to get positive feedback in Upwork; 3. You need someone who listens and understand your vision. I’ve been producing music since 2002 (21 years), and my goal is to see your project thriving. I have worked with some world-known names like Sony Music, Jamie Oliver, Nespresso, Little Angel, Hubspot, and Smirnoff. I'm in Upwork's top 3%, with 100% positive feedback. Please, take the time to check my portfolio, and what my clients are saying about my work. Don't hesitate to send me a message, even if you are not planning to hire me. I would love to check your project and guide you through the necessary steps for a successful audio adventure. SERVICES: ★ Full music composition for Games, Commercials, Films, and Bands; ★ Mixing and Mastering; ★ Sound Design (Sound effects), and Game Audio Implementation.

    My name is George and I’m a composer, sound designer and producer from Nicosia, Cyprus. My musical journey began when I joined my first band in 2001 and have dedicated my life to the art of music ever since. After many live performances with different bands and musicians, I decided to explore music as a storytelling medium which sparked my interest in film-making, leading me to earn a degree in film in 2011. This newfound knowledge for film, along with my musical abilities and experience, placed me on the path of working as a composer for for games, films, animations, trailers and various multimedia art projects. I have been involved in large scale projects such as recording my music with the London Symphony Orchestra and working alongside Grammy award-winning producers. From the production side of things, as owner of Oneirism Studios, working on recordings, mixes and masters for different musicians and bands of various genres and backgrounds also gave me different perspectives as to how to approach each project. All these amazing experiences allowed me to grow musically and artistically while also providing me with a heightened sense of aesthetics to be able to create unique music and sounds. I feel honoured to have been involved with incredible artists, collaborators and companies throughout the years, and look forward to new and exciting projects.

    Graduated from Lebanese University, and with a master degree in Music Technology, I started my career as a Music Education Instructor at Lebanese International University, then I started working on Music Production, Audio and Sound mixing and editing and sound design with some production houses, film makers, artists. I record voice over, compose film scores, design sounds in movies, ads and others. I’m passionate about my work and It’s always a pleasure to invest my passion in someone’s work and passion too!

    Bachelor of Music with a Master's degree in Music Technology and Digital Media. I'd like to work on projects such as: - Podcasts and Audiobooks: I've edited several podcasts and a few audiobooks; I'm fairly experienced using software such as iZotope RX and Descript to restore, clean and improve audio quality of dialogue recordings. I quite like this type of work! - Mixing of songs: During my master's degree I produced and mixed and album, and I've been perfecting the art ever since. If you have a produced song that needs mixing send it to me! - Simple video editions: I'm an audio specialist rather than a video editor, but I'm happy each time I get to work on video edition projects because it allows me to practice the skill. I work with DaVince Resolve. Looking forward to work on your project!
