Hi, I’m Danny Burns! I’m a versatile music composer and sound designer for films, television, video games, trailer cues, and other visual media. I have nearly 20 years of experience creating immersive scores, sound design, and audio storytelling for games, animation, film, and theater. I love collaborating with developers, directors, and creatives to craft mood-altering audio that enhances the narrative.
I bring a hands-on approach to every project — from writing music for short films and video games to designing Foley, ADR, and bespoke sound effects. I regularly use an array of both in-studio and field-recording hardware, as well as software like Pro Tools, FMOD, FL Studio, and others. I'm always eager to work, and I can apply critiques in a timely fashion.
