#034 Eric W. Brown

Today I sit down with Eric W. Brown. Eric is a drummer, audio designer and award-winning video game composer currently based in Denver, CO. He has been touring the world as a member of various bands for over 14 years. He is the full-time drummer of Nekrogoblikon, Swashbuckle and Wizardthrone, and also holds down a full-time position as composer and audio director at Sabotage Studio, an independent game studio from Québec City, Canada. Their first project The Messenger released in 2018, and their current project Sea Of Stars raised over $1.6 million CAD in the midst of a pandemic, making history as one of the most successful Canadian video game Kickstarter campaigns of all time.

Eric and I get into:

• His work at sabotage studios and the hotly anticipated release of sea of stars
• The attraction of writing chip tune music
• How rainbow dragon eyes blew up (no thanks to Linked In)
• How he got into music at a young age
• Being in a committed romantic relationship with a touring musician
• How Eric is able to cash checks made out to The Legendary Pirate King
• His work doing sound design and mixing audio for video games

Check out his work!
