Richard Ludlow

While his violin lessons at the age of five began as a hobby, Richard has since used his passion for music and sound to furnish a career in audio for games. Specializing in sound design, interactive audio, and technology, Richard has worked as a sound designer, composer, and audio director for video games, trailers, advertisements, and film. Richard's credits include AAA and indie games, interactive VR experiences, Blockbuster films, and commercial advertising. Some recent credits include working as Sound Lead for the reboot of the King's Quest (PS4/PS3, Xbox One/360, PC) series published by Activision, Audio Director for Into the Stars (PC), and Audio Lead for the Assassin's Creed Syndicate TV Spot. Richard also regularly speaks on the subject of game music and sound. Some past lectures include talks for GDC, GDC Europe, GDC Next, GameSoundCon, PAX East, PAX Dev, IndieCade, Gamescom, the Midwest Game Developer's Summit, Sigma Play, MIT, and Berklee College of Music. Richard is a graduate of Berklee College of Music where he dual majored in Electronic Production & Design and Film Scoring, with minors in Acoustics & Electronics, Audio Design for Video Games, and Video Game Scoring. At Berklee Richard co-founded the school's Sound Design Network, and was honored with five different scholarships, including the Video Game Scoring Award and the Wendy Carlos Sound Design Award. In early 2012, Richard approached some of his talented friends and colleagues at Berklee to propose the idea of Hexany; the company was born. Since then Richard has served as Audio Director at Hexany overseeing production and project development.
