Artist Talk with Mathilde Hoffmann

Mathilde’s work is all about noises and sounds. That’s why you’ll always meet the composer with a recording device in her pocket. Besides productions for advertisement, Mathilde Hoffmann is a sound designer at Hamburg based developer Daedalic, where she worked on The Pillars of the Earth and Unrailed!.

In this artist talk, we want to know how she finds the best sounds, which monsters she likes to give a voice and how her work as a composer differs from her work as a sound designer.

In the Artist Talk with Riad Djemili we want to know how working on a Triple A title differs from that of an indie game, which monsters he encounters in his everyday life as a game developer and what plans he has got for the future.
