As a music and audio professional, Ari Pulkkinen has gained the deep knowledge and competence mainly in the field of game industry. His work as a composer, music and audio producer as well as an audio designer has left a mark in many productions and independent projects. As a side dish, Ari’s broad experience in game design and concept writing comes in handy along with the slick skill to produce design for trailers and in-game cinematics, including vocal directing. The demoscene and mod tracker background was fundamental to Ari’s work. The fame gained through producing his first decisive product, StarFight VI: Gatekeepers (PC) game soundtrack and audio design eventually opened the door for professional game business. For the educational point of view, diplomas in Professional audio design and producing, Further Education for Producers and Leads of the Finnish Game Industry with Adulta and Music Technology with high valued finnish institution, Sibelius Academy are the proof of talent in black and white. But the actual professional quantum leap for Ari was his 4 year long career as an in-house audio director with Frozenbyte, Inc. working with the products Super Stardust HD (PS3/2007), Shadowgrounds (PC/2005) and Shadowgrounds Survivor (PC/2007). The games have received rave reviews and for the record, praise for their soundtracks. Within the projects Ari had the pleasure to collaborate wtih Amen from Lordi among others. No doubt that having brought in his artistic talent and professional knowledge, he can be proud of the outcome. In his work, Ari does not like to be categorized or labeled under certain styles or genres. He likes to keep his freedom of choice and have it somewhat edgier. ‘There is no point copying standard Hollywood film score styles. I am dedicated to create sophisticated, deep, melodic, memorable music and sound design that will give each production its individual style and feeling. Games need unique and custom made music and audio that add extra value for the entire project’. The devotion to make modern music that stands out from the norm is gripped solid by combining strong melodic themes with different electronic genres. All this is the bare and raw basis for AriTunes trademark, individual and distinctive music and audio producing. Unique is what matters. 更多>>
