PORTFOLIO
Welcome RIYO! I've curated a fun and eclectic sound design playlist for you...
Ambrosia Sky
Sound Design (artifact), Composition (ambience): Gregory Harrison
Genre: Space Exploration sim
About: As mentioned in my cover letter, some of my early sound explorations for Ambrosia Sky evolved into SFX assets used within the game. This artifact emits a signal composed of tiny, granulated vocal textures, creating the sense of a mysterious presence or energy that is intrinsically tied to the object itself.
STITCHES (Sleepy Bear Productions)
(Release Date TBA)
Sound Design/ Mix: Gregory Harrison
Genre: Horror
Jeld-Wen VIKING
Sound Designer, Composer, Mixing Engineer: Gregory Harrison
Genre: Commercial
About: Created the sound design and score for this commercial.
This excerpt demonstrates the fusion of sound design and composition for the contemporary ballet Chasing the Path. It establishes the atmosphere of an industrial factory where the dancers perform. Using field recordings of steam locomotives, I chopped, processed, and sampled the sounds to create a continuously evolving industrial machine that serves as both the sonic environment and a rhythmic musical element.

Genre: Dungeon crawler video game
About: Created bespoke sound design elements for the trailer, as well as VO cleanup.
VACUUM by Ess Hödlmoser
Sound Design/ Mix: Gregory Harrison
Genre: Performance Art/ Body Horror/ Circus
France's Got Talent
Sound Designer, Composer: Gregory Harrison
Genre: Circus, Contortion, Talent Show
About: Created for contortionists Ess Hödlmoser & Troy James (Hellboy, Deathstalker, What We Do in the Shadows), this work combines composition with custom foley and sound design. I created an extensive library of bespoke foley sounds to emphasize the performers' contorted movements, heightening the physicality of the performance and amplifying the audience's sense of unease.
This excerpt is from the contemporary ballet URGE. The sound design depicts a descent into hell—the core of one's deepest fears. Every sound was created from scratch specifically for this work, resulting in a unique sonic world that is fully integrated with the composition.
Some of the custom-designed sounds include:
- talkbox via a sub moog
- growling through a bari sax
- whistling via autotune
- heavy breathing via various reed instruments
