Years Producing Music & Audio pre-Pyramind: 3 What sorts of projects are you working on today? I just finished about a year of 10-12 hour days at the insanely cool Double Fine Productions working on the heavy metal video game "Brütal Legend." I got this internship opportunity through Pyramind and was mentored by the award-winning Game Audio Director, Emily Ridgway. I also got to work beside one of the best sound designers, Brian Min, all under the roof of video game icon, Tim Schafer. I was editing the dialog of Jack Black, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tim Curry, among others. For the future, I am in communications to come in again for the next big project at Double Fine, which I am very excited about! |

YEARS PRODUCING MUSIC/AUDIO PRE-PYRAMIND: About 10 One of Pyramind’s most powerful assets is the quality of its student body, and Ramon Wesselink is one of the best examples. Ramon was born and raised in a small village in the east of Holland. After years of performing and recording music during his youth, he moved to the Bay Area and enrolled in Pyramind. While still a student he held internships at both Pyramind and AudioSFX in Marin county, where he now works on projects ranging from “Watchmen” to “Star Wars”, video games to rock albums, and psytrance to TV commercials. He also appears on the new Pyramind community compilation “Evolution One”, released at the start of this year, under the alias "Esoteknic." |
