MAURICIO F VARGAS
Spatial Audio Expert & Music Composer
for Immersive & Interactive Media
I am a creative-arts professional with a background in music composition and sound design. I specialize in creating original music and soundscapes for interactive media —VR, AR and video games— visual media —film, TV, advertising— and concert music.
Sound is a great storyteller, and I compose music with a narrative in mind focusing on the tiny details, the fleeting moments, and the subtle emotions needed to produce a rich and moving piece of music.
I collaborate with interactive and visual media creators to design unique soundscapes that shape and heighten the audience’s experience and elicit a deeper emotional connection to the story and creative project.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO DOESN'T JUST FILL THE SPACE;
IT REDEFINES THE BOUNDARIES OF PERCEPTION AND IMAGINATION.
IMMERSIVE AUDIO PRODUCTION
From recording custom sounds or soundscapes with 360° microphones, mixing dialogue, sound effects and music to create the perfect balance and outstanding sound to rendering into immersive formats like Binaural, Ambisonics or Dolby Atmos, every step in the audio production process is meticulously executed to ensure the most immersive experience.
INTERACTIVE SOUND DESIGN
Creating dynamic and engaging auditory experiences involves designing, scripting, and implementing audio elements within game engines and audio middleware that respond to users’ actions, environmental changes and narrative context. The detailed design of adaptive sounds promotes a deeper level of engagement, making each experience feel uniquely responsive and alive.
SPATIAL MUSIC PRODUCTION
Leveraging advanced spatial techniques such as channel and object-based audio, music elements are meticulously crafted to elevate the listener’s spatial awareness and interactions. This careful design heightens the emotional impact and adds depth and dimension, creating a rich and moving auditory experience that deeply engages users within the virtual environment.
CONSULTATION & DEMOS
Unlike other forms of media production, sound and music in XR require careful planning, design, and integration and cannot be left to the final stages. Consulting early in the project allows a better understanding of sound's spatial and interactive possibilities while illustrating how immersive audio can significantly enhance the narrative and user experience.
