The sound designer discusses his Develop Award-winning work on Monument Valley

VIDEO: Stafford Bawler at An Audience With… Audio Game-Changers

 This week’s An Audience With… Audio Game-Changers kicked off with a presentation by freelance sound designer Stafford Bawler, the man behind the soundscape of the seminal Monument Valley.

During his talk – which you can watch in full below – Bawler discussed the iterative process he and developer Ustwo Games went through to define the unique audio of the million-selling puzzle platformer.

He also reflected on his previous audio work across a career spanning 17 years, and answered questions from the select audience of peers and fellow audio experts.

Develop’s An Audience With… Audio Game-Changers was held at Dolby’s London HQ earlier this week. Other speakers included Media Molecule, Dolby and Pinewood Studios Group, which also backed the seminar as an event partner.
