Hey everyone!

"My name is Akash Thakkar, and as you probably guessed, I'm the sound designer for Hyper Light Drifter! I've been interested in game audio for as long as I can remember and am thrilled to be a part of this project.

You are undoubtedly foaming at the mouth for details about my incredibly exciting past. Well, I'm here to deliver. I have been playing drums since I was but a wee child, and had the audacious idea to study music in college. Eventually, I found myself studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was there I met Disasterpeace and decided that I also wanted in on this whole "video game" thing. So here we are.

Feel free to let me know what you'd like to see and hear in future HLD sound design videos. I have a bit of a layout already planned, but I want to give you guys what you think is most valuable!

Lastly, please feel free to get in touch with me through my website (akashthakkar.com) or on twitter (@akashthakkar) if you'd like to chat about game audio, weird obscure old video games that no one likes, or anything else your heart desires.

Talk to you all soon!"

The first video in a series that will detail the sound design of Hyper Light Drifter.
