Snowcastle Games' New Audio Outsourcing branch is ready to take on new clients.
Snowcastle Games, makers of “EARTHLOCK” and renowned Norwegian studio in the game industry, proudly introduces a side chapter in its legacy: Snowcastle AudioLabs. This innovative business, led by composer and audio director Theo Nogueira, is meant to take the game audio services and Dolby Atmos mixing for both music and games to another level, together with a team of experienced audio designers.
Theo Nogueira has been an instrumental force at Snowcastle Games. Hailing from Brazil, he was invited to join the Game Awards First Class in 2023. His journey into the world of music began at the age of 9, igniting a passion that led him to compose, conduct orchestras and choirs, and ultimately pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music and Sound for Visual Media at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
"I've always been drawn to the artistry of sound and its ability to evoke and emphasize emotions, tell stories, and immerse audiences in new worlds," shared Theo Nogueira. "And this is what has fueled my vision for Snowcastle AudioLabs and its team.”Theo remains committed to community building and advocating for fellow audio designers and composers. Notably, Theo co-founded Game Audio in Norway (GAiN), a union and interest group that unites professionals in the field.
Companies can expect AudioLabs to provide top-notch sound design, music composition, voice-over, and audio implementation services to projects we are passionate about, at competitive prices.
The grand opening of Snowcastle AudioLabs will celebrate the first Dolby Atmos Certified studio for games in Norway. With Atmos rapidly becoming a standard in film and TV, Snowcastle's foray into this technology marks a pivotal moment for its integration into the game development landscape. "Atmos offers an unparalleled immersive experience," Theo emphasized. "We're on the cusp of a big shift in game audio."
With twelve speakers from the top-notch manufacturer in the world, Neumann, a brand new P1-M fader controller from Icon and help from Dolby and ProLyd AS on gear choice and tuning, the mix studio is ready to take new customers worldwide.
The launch event, set for February 1st from 17:00 to 19:00, promises an exclusive peek into the future of game audio. Prospective attendees are encouraged to RSVP through the link below before January 25th to secure their spot.
