Jake Carter Music & Sound Design

Artist's Statement

I have pursued my music and art with a single purpose – to bring life to my ideas and emotions. Whether it is to add the proper essence to a budding idea, reimagine a pre-established piece or to simply share a song I love, my goal has always been to bring that moment to life. I discovered that I have an unlimited source of inspiration and potential within video game music and film scoring.

A moment is made in an instant and passes just as quickly, so it is critical to me that I make the most of it. The magnitude of importance that music carries in these moments cannot be an afterthought, or it will lose its gravitational pull. Just as gravity pulls us to the ground, music draws us into the moment. I approach my composition and sound design with this in mind.

I write music for video games and films, most recently working on Masqueraid at the Global Game Jam 2026. I love the sound design process and feel my most creative during my foley sessions. I also teach piano to children and adults, ages 4-70, and it is an absolute privilege to be able to share my art and profession with budding and seasoned musicians alike.
