Randolph Kestner

My name's Randolph, I'm a composer, sound designer, and game designer.

 

I've written music as a hobby for about 8 years and have always come back to it as something incredibly fun to me. It started as just little pieces and grew into me writing warm-ups and a chorale for my high school band.

 

I've delved into everything from electronic music to orchestral, and also find making chiptunes to be extremely fun. Fitting music to a particular project is always a great experience.

 

Sound effects in video games have always driven me to play. If something sounds cool, I'm probably going to use that thing! (I'm looking at you World of Warships battleship guns) Recording and mixing up various sounds has been something I've done for fun for a couple years. I've successfully implemented effects in games/videos for about 2 years now.

​

I also quite enjoy board games and card games. I'm currently designing my own card game. Nothing beats a night of playing Magic: The Gathering or some Settlers of Catan.

 

My inspiration comes from the most loved video games as well as anime. The Legend of Zelda, World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and Bastion come to mind for games. Gunbuster, Gurren Lagann, Re:Zero, Space Battleship Yamato, are a few animes that I love.

 

Music and sound brings stories to life, and telling a grand story is what's most important to me. I will go out of my way to make sure your game makes players feel enticed and excited.
