@luke-bellI'm a highly qualified sound designer and music composer with an MA in music production. I also taught audio and music technology at level 3 for a year. Looking for multimedia work at any level.
Hey there! My name is Luke Bell. I'm a highly qualified music and audio specialist (mainly focusing in music creation and/or sound design) who is deeply determined to make your project as professional and enjoyable as possible! My areas of focus involves multimedia (film, T.V, games, etc) with an particular focus on games audio.
I possess an MA in Music Production (merit) and have a post-14 PGCE, having taught as a placement tutor at the BTEC level 3 Audio and Music Technology programme at the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies in Nottingham for a year.
I am highly experienced with a variety of digital audio workstations (e.g., Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton Live), even being an AVID certified user for Pro Tools, and am also versed in middleware (mainly Wwise).
It's a pleasure to work with you all and hope that we can be creative together!
PGCE Post-14 Further Education and Skills
In this course I learned how to teach my subject specialism in the English post-14 FE and Skills sector. In this effort I studied a variety of epistemological frameworks and general teaching techniques: Learning theories (e.g., cognitivism, social constructivism, evidence-based learning, etc), a deconstruction of my own curriculum, and more.
Additionally, I also spend 150 hours as a placement college teacher. I taught the BTEC level 3 Audio and Music Technology programme at the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies in Nottingham. In this role I taught first and second year music technology/production students fundamental areas of music composition, technology, production, business, and more (e.g., modular synthesis, equalisation, LUFS, in-house promotors, PRS for Music copyright, etc).
This PGCE was pass/fail. I finished passing every module.
In this course, I learned and developed skills related to various techniques and technologies relevant to various parts of the music and wider audio industries. The skills developed during this time differ significantly from one another: The creation of '.amxd' plug-ins (via Max for Live), ambisonic engineering, ambisonic sound design, acousmatic deconstruction, studio engineering, mixing/mastering, and more. This of course also included a full masters dissertation.
I finished this MA with a Merit. The dissertation was graded a Distinction.
BA (Hons) Popular Music and Music Technology
In this course, I learned and developed a wide variety of skills relevant to the music and wider audio industries. The skills developed during this time, as can be expected from a three-year programme, are many and differ rather strongly from one another; music theory, music composition, studio recording, mixing/mastering, musicology, ethnomusicology, ambisonic mixing, surround sound mixing, music business, knowledge of various digital audio workstations, and many more.
Elements of this programme have since been reworked and reformed into two different programmes: The BA (Hons) in Popular Music (see URL) and the BSc (Hons) in Music Production.
I finished this BA (Hons) with a 1st. I also finished this programme with AVID user certification with Pro Tools (2019) and a Deans Award (2018) for academic excellence (stage 1).
Short Answer: We can negotiate depending on the needs of the projects.
Multimedia work as either a music composer or sound/audio designer.
