My name is Alex Pinkus. Riley Circles is my producer name and online alias that I like to use for crediting all my sound work. (Hence why this site is not alexpinkus.com)
I am a sound designer in search of the new. The excitement of making sounds, in my mind, comes from sculpting the perfect puzzle piece for a jigsaw born of many artists' disparate visions. My initial interest in audio stemmed from a love of unique, innovative music and other media that combine avant-garde sensibilities with commercial engagement.
I want to further the medium of games and further the possibilities of sound as a medium produced with digital technology.
Besides all things sound, I love mathematics, movies, and animals.
Recent graduate of Peabody Institute where I primarily did recording projects involving new compositions in classical, jazz, and rock. Other topics I studied include acoustics, audio technology, digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, and composition.
