3xBlast
3xBlast is Harm-Jan Wiechers, an audio and music producer from Groningen, in the Netherlands.
I’ve helped out numerous developers with everything from simple soundeffect production to full audio design, production and implementation.
SOUND EFFECTS
Good sound effects help a game live.
I produce everything from 8-bit sound effects to custom recorded sounds.
MUSIC
A memorable game deserves memorable music.
I like to make the most of the dynamic nature of games with adaptive music systems.

Virtual Reality - JBL (2015)
With a combination of Unity and 3Dception, I implemented and set up the digital audio enviroment. In the interactive VR video, viewers needed to look at certain areas at certain times, so the audio directs the player in the first part of the video. Below is a recording of the video. It isn’t interactive, but it should give you an idea of what is going on. [Audio design and implementation, Unity & 3DCeption]
