A Note From the Developer
"We interviewed dozens of possible candidates to create the audio for our project and Kole was, quite simply, among the best. If that was all there was to it, I'd be very happy with my decision. However, Kole far exceeded those expectations. He worked with us over the course of several months, and we tackled every problem that came our way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kole for any future audio openings. His work was exceptional for us, and I have no doubt it will be for you, as well."

"Kole is an absolute delight to work with--very professional, very knowledgeable, and most importantly, very good at creating beautiful music. His score for our social game is definitely one of the highlights of the entire experience. I wholeheartedly recommend his work to anyone who requires composition!"

A Note From the Developer
"Kole provided sound effects for multiple games I have developed. He efficiently created them in a timely manner and went above and beyond to deliver assets ahead of his normal schedule to meet our deadlines. I highly recommend Kole and am planning on hiring him exclusively for my audio and sound effect needs."
Brandon Lassiter - Owner / Lead Game Developer at Monkey Fist Games
A Note From the Developer
"We used Kole on a recommendation from our friends at Hidden Variable Studios (makers of Bag It!). We really liked what he did for them, but weren't sure how that would translate to our game which was different in tone, audience, and just about every other way. We were so pleasantly surprised! Kole asked a lot of questions to help him to hone in on the mood and tone we were going for, sent over references early to show us his thinking, was very collaborative throughout the process, and ultimately delivered sounds that went well beyond our best expectations! There are a lot of sound designers who really want to put their own signature into a game at the expense of the overall project. Kole strikes a careful balance between being true to the overall vision of the project, while adding his own creative flare to ensure that it all holds up together cohesively, pushing a game to that next level.
Sound design is such an easily overlooked aspect to game and filmmaking, and Kole's creativity really brought our games to another level. We have since sought him out for other projects and will continue to do so!"

A Note From the Developer
"As an indie game developer, it was really hard to find a quality musician who understands our needs and wants. And, there was Kole. He did all our game music and sound effects and they were all at a great quality. He never missed the aggressive deadlines set by us and was very professional on all points. We will keep Kole as our sole provider of music for all the games in the pipeline."

A Note From the Developer
"Kole is a very determined composer who spends a lot of time and passion into his work to make some really great and varied music pieces. Working with Kole was and still is a great experience and Box Knight's stand-outtish music composition is in large due to his persistence on hitting just the right tones and fine tuning it over a very short amount of time."
Christopher Page - Gameplay Programmer
A Note From the Supervisor
"Kole has been a great asset to the Elias Music Library. He has consistently turned in his tracks for approval and his turn around when given feedback is timely."
Greg Rappaport - Music Supervisor at Elias Arts Music Library
A Note From the Owner
"Recommended to me by another colleague I respect very much, Kole has proven to be exceptional. Composer, Songwriter, Producer, Collaborator - all roles he switches between effortlessly and completes with confidence. He is smart, easy-going, creative, candid, and really enjoys the process of tackling new challenges & seeing them through. I look forward to continuing to work with him."
Joel Evans - Owner at Cinemasters
A Note From the Composer
"Kole is a one stop shop for session guitar work. I've hired him on numerous projects to provide that extra edge to works that have appeared on national TV, in video games, etc. I always know that I can depend on Kole to not only play EXACTLY the way I describe, but to go that extra mile when providing options, as well as coming up with amazingly smooth and fresh sounding solos and fill-licks. Kole is a pro, hands down, and I will continue to use him for years to come."
