Jackson Harris is a sound designer, audio engineer, and musician based in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional background consists of being a multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, clarinet, vocal), performer, recordist, and sample library plugin developer. He brings a unique approach to crafting auditory experiences for video game soundscapes by incorporating organic samples and textures as a basis for each element in his workflow, no matter how mangled the final sound becomes.His upbringing in a creatively enhanced household, one with a musical focus, helped shape his passion for music and sound, as well as his love for video games. He especially loves the challenge of emulating the audio limitations of early video game consoles, using only the most authentic approaches to get the job done.Jackson got his start in the video game industry through managing and growing the library of Radio Hyrule, a Zelda game music remix streaming website. Later, he became involved in multiple community organized game arrangement albums, contributing both arrangements and performances. Now, he gets to live out his childhood dream of working on video games, with the goal of impacting other's lives
through his work.
Jackson looks forward to working on projects that favor creativity, unique experiences, and highlight game audio's importance.He has a love for owls, and more importantly, his cat Luna.
