About
He/Him
Hi, I'm Jackson, also known as Xykrotik on the interwebs. I'm a sound designer, musician, and audio engineer for a lot of different media, but I mainly focus on video games!Whether it's drawing inspiration from Sci-Fi video games like Metroid and Titanfall, creating lush atmospheres of ambiance, or creating quirky and wholesome noises for cartoony games, I can guarantee a sonic experience like no other.I'm currently working with indie game developers and studios, like Hyper Luminal Games, on their upcoming video game projects.Outside of audio, I enjoy a finely brewed cup of coffee or tea, astronomy, and bouldering.
