About Kurt Harland Larson

I started his career in audio in the pre-MIDI, pre-computer, New-Wave days of 1982 with the formation of the all-electronic band Information Society. After recording and performing for 10 years, he made the move into game audio and has worked for and at various game companies since 1994. I have held audio design or director positions at Crystal Dynamics, Electronic Arts, Slipgate-Gazillion, Nihilistic Software, kixeye, and Machine Zone. I have done everything from sound-effects design to project management and everything in-between. In addition to having a great deal of experience with the basic tasks of asset creation and implementation, I also specialize in working with programmers to develop audio tech and tools, and starting new audio departments from scratch. I am a highly *technical* audio designer who knows the importance of a good text editor and version-control software as much as audio middleware and digital audio workstations.
