Hiring Jake is a great way to boost fan support for your project. His tremendous enthusiasm for game music fandom, as well as for chiptune / 8-bit music, routinely causes die-hard gamers to utter obscene expressions of joy and excitement upon learning of Jake's involvement with a project.This effect is intensifying as Jake's career advances; the news that he was providing a full-length neoclassical shred metal soundtrack for Wayforward / Majesco's upcoming XBLA+PSN title, "Bloodrayne: Betrayal", has been implicated in several hundred recent cases of spontaneous human combustion.Jake's long-term goal is to become the #1 "go-to" guy for energetic, action-packed, and quirky soundtracks for all types of games, to spread humor and optimism to any who will listen, and to continue learning and improving throughout life.Specialties: Orchestration, jazz arrangement, industrial music, funk, house, dubstep, brostep, dogstep, guitar shredding, highly authentic "retro" styles, technical consultation, audio engine design, sound design, foley recording, audio tool wrangling (Fmod, Wwise, XACT, Miles, etc), C++ / C# / Javascript / Python, various GUI toolkits such as qt and wx.Captured on video performing an insane keyboard solo with one hand, and eating a hot dog using the other.
