David Schornsheim

David's day begins with peppermint hot chocolate. Suitably refreshed, and drawing on his studies of sound and composition, he develops interactive systems such as video games, virtual musical instruments and sound engines for adaptive soundscapes tailored to obscure speaker arrangements.

His games are among the most popular on itch.io, perhaps because he hides his accordion recordings within the soundtracks. His favourite games and music change every month but, generally speaking, late romanticism and post-minimalism have good standing, as well as games running on his Linux-based handheld console.

David's research interests:

  • Interactive and dynamic sounds
  • Adaptive and generative music
  • Storytelling and systemic design in video games, AR, and VR
