DAVID J. FRANCO
AA award-nominated music composer and sound designer.
Producing audio for over 50 titles across handheld, console, PC, mobile and VR.
Professional Game Audio
From the technical limitations of the Nintendo DS to modern audio systems in Unity and Unreal Engine, I work across music composition, sound design, audio direction, interactive music, dialogue production, middleware integration and technical audio implementation.
My experience covers the full game audio pipeline, from creative direction and asset production to building responsive audio systems, optimisation and final platform delivery.

Audio Tool Developer
I’m building my own audio tools and plugins through TIDSANDA. They come from practical challenges I’ve run into in game audio production. I build them to take the repetition out of everyday tasks and leave more time for the creative side of sound design.
