About Simon Palframan

Hi! I’m an Interactive Sound Designer & Composer who’s as at home directing a voice session as hooking up an interactive music system. For the past three years I’ve helped create the sonic worlds of some of Glowmade’s latest titles including King Of Meat (published by Amazon Games). Working across everything audio from dialogue to loading screens, systemic UI (for only the most satisfying treasure collection sounds!) to absurd musical moments. I move freely between creative and technical implementation - liaising with code, art, animation and engine teams to get features scoped out and built.In my adtech experience I have pioneered AI-driven personalised audio advertising at both AudioStack and before that, AMA (A Million Ads)- shaping systems that re-stitch audio in real time based on data received in the ad request allowing brands to communicate the way humans do, instinctively.(Credit to Sam Crowther for that line). Here, a big part of my job is to help clients and brands understand the creative potential and efficiency of using audio ‘DCO’ dynamic advertising tech- and more often than not, write and produce the campaigns themselves with the added goal of grabbing industry awards along the way. I have worked at various app startups in creative / content roles and as a Group Radio Imaging producer at Bauer Media’s ‘Kiss FM’ where I helped craft the sonic identity of the station and and won all the top related industry awards. I ostensibly work through my own company, Rocketgods - feel free to visit my fairly out of date website at - but am always up for discussing working in other capacities.
