About Nikita Smelkov
I am a sound designer and composer with a deep love for programming and getting into the technical bits. I am passionate about game development and audiovisual media. My dream is to work with sound creatively and arrive at complex technical challenges to make art. For the last two years, I’ve been using the SuperCollider Engine and programming language to synthesize sound through code. It’s a rich and versatile tool that allows for an algorithmic approach to music composition, and I am excited to implement it in my projects. I love learning new tools and frameworks to bring my ideas to life. I believe it’s one of my strongest traits. Throughout my academic and professional career, I worked on numerous projects familiarizing myself with the following software: Sound Production: Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, MuseScore 4, Pianoteq 7, SuperCollider, Wwise, Audacity, Sonic Visualiser, FL Studio Game Dev: Unreal Engine, Unity, GameMaker Studio 2, Blender Languages: C++/C#, JavaScript, Java, SuperCollider, Python, HTML/CSS, Assembly, Swift, MATLAB As a musician, my interest lies in minimalist piano and algorithmic electronic music. I have played the keyboard for an indie rock band and performed at many venues in the Bay Area with them. Currently am focused on recording an album with my other psychedelic art rock collective and on releasing own compositions. I also love academic music and have written multiple solo piano scores, a composition for a full orchestra, and graphic scores for the New Music Ensemble at SCU and the Santa Clara Laptop Orchestra, with which I got to perform my music live.
