X Marks the Spot.
Hey, I'm Xander. I've worked professionally in new media design and development for about seven years now. Also, I do a lot of creative side project stuff.
I'm currently a User Interface Artist for High Moon Studios in San Diego, California, working on a high-profile title for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. I love it!
My first job grew into becoming a Creative Director for an agency in Indianapolis. I also brought home several AdFed awards during my time there.
Then I went on to work as Senior Web Designer & Photographer for a Fortune 500 pro-audio company, Sweetwater Sound Inc.
My personal projects range between making video games, drawing concept art and comics, writing prose and screenplays, audio theatre production, voice acting, and the creation of original electronic music.
Check it all out and hit me up via phone or e-mail!
Dreamseed LLC is my brand for creating independent, commercial entertainment products, such as audio theatre and video games.
For Dreamseed projects, I've worked with an international cast of actors and musicians, including famed film & video game composers Jesper Kyd and Yasunori Mitsuda.
My loyal team of unpaid friends (slaves) is currently working on developing an Xbox 360 game through XNA, and I'm also dabbling in a Flash game project using ActionScript 3.0 object-oriented programming.
Audio theatre is a very effective and inexpensive way to tell imaginative stories today in the age of iPods. After I completed my biggest production, Soul Rift, with an international cast, I needed a platform to publish it on, specific to audio theatre. Other audio theatre producers wanted this too.
There wasn't one, so I built one, bringing the other producers along for the ride at Echo Fiction.
The goal with Force Effect is to turn "cyberpunk" into a music genre. No words should express it. Just listen and let the hard beats and euphoric synths take you...
