About Fedor

I’m a sound engineer, audio designer, and music composer passionate about creating immersive audio experiences. My journey in sound began with electronic music during my school years, which led me to earn a degree in Acoustics Engineering. Since then, I’ve expanded my expertise in sound engineering, music production, and sound design.

With over 8 years of experience, I specialise in:
🎵 Music production, mixing, and sound design for various media, including video, games, museums, podcasts, and audio theatre.
🎙 Podcast production and studio setup – I’ve designed and built a podcast recording studio and managed the full cycle of podcast production.
🎬 Location sound recording and post-production – capturing high-quality sound for film and YouTube projects.
🎮 Game audio – I create sound and music for games, including implementation using FMod, Wwise, and Metasound.
🎧 Binaural and immersive audio – I craft audio plays and am developing a library of binaural field recordings to explore unique soundscapes.

I thrive on projects that combine technical precision with creative storytelling, ensuring audiences receive the best possible audio experience.
