MUSIC & SOUND FOR GAMES, TELEVISION, FILM & STAGE
Welcome to Third Coil, the professional music composition and audio production work of Joel Day, a multi-talented musician and sound designer living in Seattle, Washington.
I provide dynamic and powerful compositions in a diverse range of genres as well as creative, highly illustrative sound effects. All of my work is designed to function in both linear and interactive mediums.
Please take the time to review the featured examples below. I believe my work speaks for itself and I am looking forward to contributing to your next project.

Project: PC Speaker (Nerdpocalypse)
I am currently producing the majority of a new solo-album by PC Speaker. The 'Nerdcore Hip-Hop' scene is a small, but growing (and very hilarious) genre in which my work on both PC Speaker and Futuristic Sex Robotz has led the pack in terms of production value. © 2007, PC Speaker.

JOEL DAY
Over the past 8 years, I've composed full length musical scores for stage productions, produced albums for notable independent artists and assisted with a number of small media projects while working on my own solo material. I am now pursuing opportunities to contribute original music and sound to games and other interactive applications.
I also have experience with web design, software development, video editing and motion graphics. My ventures into such a wide variety of creative mediums and my history of experimentation with technology gives me a unique perspective as a composer and a sound designer. I can adapt to new tools and technologies quickly and easily.
When I encounter technical challenges, my versatility allows me to innovate and develop custom solutions. In my first experience scoring a stage play, I found the traditional methods used to perform audio cues antiquated and extremely limiting. Rather than downscale an ambitious project, I took a few days to develop a custom tool to automate the mixing and performance process. With the finished software, I could cycle through the final playlist with a single key, triggering specific music cues and simultaneous instances of ambient sound effect loops for each scene. The end result was an extraordinarily rich and immersive experience for the audience.
