Joel Corelitz believes technology has a soul and music & sound design are part of the same thing. He creates emotional, design driven scores by fusing music and sound design into a unified audio experience centered around texture and mood.

Joel is a composer & sound designer best known for his work in games and experiences. Joel recently co-composed the score to Halo Infinite, as well as the score to the indie hit “Eastward”, both of which rose to #1 on the Steam top sellers charts in 2021. He wrote additional music and designed the palette behind the score for arguably the most anticipated game of 2019 - Death Stranding. In 2018, he scored and developed the audio strategy for Gorogoa, Apple’s iPad Game of the Year. He also wrote the music for The Unfinished Swan, a baroque-style score that cleverly blends electronics with a live string orchestra, garnering him a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music.

He also runs Waveplant, an audio consulting agency focused on immersive audio and sonic branding.
