Sebastian’s path to sound design was shaped by a series of formative sounds and experiences: seeing Les Misérables in London as a child, hearing Clarence Clemons’ saxophone solo on Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungleland” a few years later, and spending hours with headphones on playing Destiny 2 with friends, captivated by the world coming through his ears. 

​

The leap from experiencing sound to creating it happened by chance while working on a student-run theater festival at Bard College. What started as a single request to play music for one show turned into several requests and revealed to him how sound could shape a story. His sound design career soon followed. 

​

Sebastian received an MFA in Sound Design from Carnegie Mellon University and has worked on productions in New York and Los Angeles. He is drawn to work that uses sound to build worlds and shape narratives while staying connected to his roots in live performance. Recent credits include Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately for HBO and Skadi Tower as a part of his ongoing collaboration with Redfinch Games.
