Sonic Storytelling as an Audio-only Experience
(Workshop at HIVE Lab, IIT Kanpur)
Hosted a workshop at the HIVE Lab, Department of Design (IIT Kanpur) with Masters students to create spatial storytelling for an audio-only experience.
The session was aimed at sharing insights about how to create such sonic experiences starting from the script, dialogues all the way to sound effects, music & building the mixed soundscape in a DAW with surround playback.
The concepts were kept modular to take the learning to any audio based scenarios such as game audio, interactive situations and HCI use cases.
I also got the opportunity to briefly collaborate on other projects at the lab and enjoyed learning about new related domains.

From creative exploration to technological innovation, this session covered pathways within the audio industry – music technology, interaction design, and experience design. Through real-world insights and personal journeys, it offered a deeper understanding of how sound shapes meaningful experiences across disciplines.

a guide for scalable audio implementation
In line with my vision of building an ecosystem for games & interactive audio mindset in India (via initiatives such as gameaudio.in), I spoke at the India Game Developer Conference (IGDC 2023) on the very same topic. The target audience for the talk is developers, publishers, producers and key people from the industry whose understanding of audio play a major role in how good the sonic experience of the games created in India will be.

Access Show NotesVoice & Text Sync – The Audio Programmer
I've learnt so much from Joshua and sharing screen with him was an amazing experience. In this video I talked about building tools with a product mindset, to solve problems that can help scale projects easily. I presented an example of voice and text sync along with understanding the marker structures of different DAWs, to see how a feature as quick as this can bring game designers, writers, developers and the audio department on the same page.
The app can create voice-synced marker files compatible with iZotope RX which can then be used to automate read-along animations in Unity.
I shared the screen with Joshua Hodge & Nick Culbertson (Moby Pixel) to share one of my projects to nudge more people to explore Machine Learning.
Access Meetup on TAPContributed to GameAudioLearning.com
As part of my attempt to make Game Audio more accessible, I briefly collaborated with Greg Lester, creator of Game Audio Learning, to help beginners (& professionals from linear media) from around the world to take their first steps. In case some of them had already started their journey but didn't continue for some reason, we helped them nudge themselves into building the momentum.
A collection of articles & posts that I share on the web are available here.
