Creative Sound Design aka: The Recordist is an audio production company founded by Frank Bry in 1986 with digital sound sample offerings for Digital Sampling Keyboards. With the success of these libraries, the company expanded by offering digital sample CD-ROMs for the Emu Emulator IIIx, Emulator IV, synthesizer programming for Waldorf Electronics and Emu Systems, and custom sound effects design for video, film, radio and television. He then expanded into custom sound effects design and recording for leading sound effects CD developers.
As demand increased for high quality sound design for multimedia and video games he formed a division that specialized in sound for new media. Using the latest digital audio technology and creative expertise, he has positioned himself as a top provider of sound effects for interactive audio.
Frank Bry Bio:
Creative Sound Design evolved from Frank Bry’s beginnings as a musician in rock bands, as a live sound engineer, and as owner of his own recording studio. Frank moved from Massachusetts to Seattle in 1989 and began recording sound effects for sound libraries and doing sound design for video and radio. He also continued to work as a recording and mixing engineer for record projects and to create digital sound sample offerings for digital sampling keyboards. He expanded into custom sound effects design and recording for leading sound effects CD library developers. While working for Starwave Corporation as its lead sound designer, Frank worked on his first game project, Castle Infinity. After leaving Starwave, he did his first independent game sound design for Cavedog’s Total Annihilation.
Using his imagination, creativity, and technical expertise as well as his background in music and sound recording, Frank has recently been the sound designer for THQ’s Supreme Commander, Microsoft’s Dungeon Siege Series, BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights and Nintendo’s Metroid Prime series.
Many internationally known artists and media companies such as Los Lobos, Michael Gettel, Private Music, Narada Media, Microsoft, Valve Software, Starwave Corporation, Cavedog Entertainment, Humongous Entertainment and countless others have included our unique sound elements in their products.
