Howard Drossin has been a part of the music team on over 70 projects, from Film and TV to Video Game Soundtracks and Commercials.

The games shown above are projects where Howard created and produced the original soundtrack. Howard has worked on a diverse range of genres and has utilized a wide body of styles to create his unique soundtracks. Howard’s background with bands molds his creative and collaborative approach to making memorable soundtracks.

Studies have shown that when we listen to music, we utilize the same parts of our brain that processes memory and emotion. That’s why listening to music evokes strong feelings, connecting us with the source of those sounds. It’s natural for the human brain to associate specific types of music with an object, a place, or a person. Savvy film makers and advertisers understand this connection and use the science to create an emotional bond between the listener and their brand or storyline.
