About me
 

I do:

Virtual orchestration

Virtual acoustics

 

I make custom MIDI rigs for composition, orchestration and performance.

​

I am currently building MIDI plugins with the HISE development framework. The plugins will be available in VST3 and AU formats on macOS and Windows.

​

I have a GitHub where you can check out my repos:  https://github.com/craig-van-hise

​

I use a mixture of physical modeling synthesis and sample libraries to make virtual orchestral mockups.

​

I mix and master 3D audio in all of the major spatial audio formats:

ambisonics, binaural, object audio (Wwise, Dolby Atmos, MPEG-H).

 

Perspective:

I like problem solving.

I like being productive.

I like tech.

I think tech needs constant problem solving to progress.

I like streamlining workflows, identifying and improving bottlenecks and smoothing out glitches.

 

I like making hybrids.

Combinations and permutations.

I like optimizing.

 

Important factors in decision making:

•Price/Performance ratio

•Risk/Reward ratio

 

Goals:

​

•Development of agentic AI for MIDI and Spatial Audio applications

​

•Designing and delivering proof-of-concept for MIDI production/composition/orchestration/performance tools/plugins.

​

•Spatial audio implementation on various platforms for immersive AR/VR applications (video games/film/archviz/virtual archaeoacoustics).

​

•Content creation for immersive formats including orchestral scoring, unique ensembles, and sound design.

​

•Working with production teams of various sizes to act as a specialist in my fields of interest and to be incorporated into the manifestation of a larger cohesive creative entity.

​

•Continually develop expertise, skills, and tools for producing work.

​

•Collaborate in the development and implementation of new music technology.

​

•I would love to be involved in research projects involving spatial audio!
