ABOUT

I have been creating music and sounds since 2017 and have my finished pieces on streaming services under my name, Brenden Jarrett.

My audio training involves thousands of hours logged into the Digital Audio Workstation Ableton Live. I have dabbled with other daws and ultimately have decided on Ableton as my main DAW.

Although I have released electronic, metal, and acoustic music, my passion lies in implementing those compositions in game audio. Growing up listening to Martin O'Donnell, Jeremy Soule, and Koji Kondo to name a few, has really inspired me to follow that passion. Emulating sounds of Martin Stig Andersen's modular shockwaves from INSIDE to Hans Zimmer's large drones is where my brain comfortably lies with wave modulation.

My journey with music itself started since I was a young lad. My family always played music around the home and having a home theater system to watch Pink Floyd's Pulse on a Saturday evening, playing on piano to C418s Minecraft soundtrack by ear, and upgrading to an ALESIS DM10 PRO for drum-alongs to TOOL's Ænima for Polyrhythmn gathering has shaped my style into what it is today. I would love to be a part of a project and help shape the sound to what is desired whether composition or sound designing with spatial audio. Contact me here
