Madsen Studios LLC – Serving Up Great Audio with a Smile

You are here: Home

Welcome to Madsen Studios LLC!

WHO AM I?

I’m an Austin, TX based professional composer-sound designer who has supported over 870 projects (full list here) in the video game, anime, web design and indie film markets. During the day, I’m a Principal Composer/Sound Designer for SciPlay and, during the night, I run my own audio production company. And fight crime while wearing spandex… but I digress. My audio has been heard on video games, films, commercials, websites, stage productions and has supported major brands such as Dragon Ball Z, Afro Samurai, Playboy, Dean Martin, Ninjatown, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Monopoly, Game of Life, LEGO, Clue and MechWarrior. My services and rates are flexible enough to work with teams of all kinds of budgets, sizes and needs plus I’ve got a 15 year track record to back it all up. Want to read over my resume? Here you go!

I’m also an active performer, arranger and producer with Materia Collective and have been involved in multiple albums. Want to license or buy my music? It’s easy! Shoot me a message and we’ll work out the details. I also have CDs for streaming and for sale here: Band Camp. Need to get in touch? Write to:
nate (AT) madsenstudios (DOT) com.

I’ll get back to you ASAP!

What folks are saying about Madsen Studios

Working with Nathan was a real pleasure. His ability to transform words/descriptions into music is wonderful. I’ll make sure to contact him for all my future projects.

Nathan Madsen’s instrumental background brings a stunning touch to every piece of composition he works on and he has an amazing ability to be a chameleon for any and all inarticulate clients who have ideas, but need a musical artist to bring them alive.

Andrea Kile PetersonDirector, Filmmaker, Editor, Do You See Productions

Working with Nathan has been fantastic. He’s always on point with precisely the bleep or bloop we need.

Megan FoxFounder, CEO, Game Designer - Glass Bottom Games

Madsen Studios really came through for us! He helped with everything from sound FX, to music to voice overs for our game. I would highly recommend working with Nathan!

Scott BrownPresident, CEO, Wyrmbyte

A one-stop shop for everything you need for your project. Not only does he turnaround work of the highest quality, but he’s also an extremely easy person to work with; paying careful attention to notes and returning work to the specifications you’re looking for, always ensuring that everything is precisely as you need it.

Ben WoodiwissWriter/Director - Look/Think Films

It’s been my pleasure to work with Nathan as a recording engineer for the Aurora Symphony. The quality of his recordings surpasses any other recordings that we’ve had. Nathan is consistently a pleasure to work with, shows up early and does great work.

Rich DutsonExecutive Director

Nathan is the best at taking a vision and making it sound unreal. EVERYONE comments on his music with wide eyes and applause. His work makes you want to listen with headphones all day. We are a good team. If you are looking for the best audio for your game or app, there is none other than Nathan.

Ben MonlezunGame Designer - Orbotix

Nate was an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism and speed facilitated our accelerated game development without compromising on quality. I look forward to working with him on future projects.

Billy GarretsenCreative Director - Ice Cap Games, Inc

Nate has a great skill in being able to spot where and HOW to use music and sound effects in video games taking some basic thoughts and ideas from the demo and helped transform the audio of the game making it an extremely well polished title with not only some fantastic music and sound effects but also some excellent ideas.

Simon TaylorGame Designer, Owner - Plastic Cow Games

Nate’s been fantastic – his work for Wolf Toss sparkles with humor and inventiveness. Everyone who plays the game comments on how much they love the sound design. And he’s fast, amazingly so. We couldn’t be happier and hope to work with Nate on more projects in the future.

Patrick MeehanCo-Founder & CTO, Zipline Games

Nathan is a dedicated, passionate composer. He has a very positive outlook, responds well to feedback, and genuinely desires to improve his craft. He got along quite well with just about everyone in our studio which is quite an accomplishment in the very eccentric game industry. I enjoyed working with Nathan on both a personal and professional level, and would recommend him to anyone needing composition work.

Ryan SeaburyCreative Director, LEGO Universe

Nathan makes great work and doesn’t make you think twice by hiring him again, fast and Hollywood quality. Always on time, can deal with stressful deadlines. He is the right man for any sound job you need.

Boris RaguzaCo-Owner/3D Graphics Director, Camel 101

As I go through and make the final tweaks to the sound levels for our project, I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with results.  The game is much better with the excellent music and sounds that you provided.

Tom KierFounder/CEO - Endless Wave Software LLC

I am absolutely blown away by the sensitivity of your music! It is heartfelt, passionate and leaves plenty of room to enjoy it on a personal level instead of having it jammed down your throat like so many artists seem to do these days. Nicely done!

Aaron MarksOn Your Mark Music Productions

Nathan is a fast, flexible and highly talented composer. I’ve hired Nathan for several projects and he always comes thru on time and on budget. Better still, he is easy to work with and dedicated to making great music that the client will sign off on. Nathan has a variety of music styles at his disposal and is an excellent communicator. He’s well versed in helping pin-down just what a client or project needs and then creating the score that best reflects the image.

Chris SeifertFounder/Audio Director - Creature Vox Workshop

I just want to give a shout out, I’m contracting some work out to Nathan on a project currently and all I can say is that he has out performed every expectation I had for his part–really brilliant work and I am a pleased client.

Dan ReynoldsComposer - musicaneer.com

Nathan has been a pleasure to work with on Ninjatown: Trees of Doom. Enthusiastic, professional and detailed, he produced high quality work for us in a very short time. I’d highly recommend him for other iPhone projects.

Brandon CurielCEO - Venan Entertainment INC

Nathan has great talent and enthusiasm.  He is a pleasure to work with and he exceeded my expectations.  His willingness to make sure everything was perfect will definitely keep me counting on Nathan for future projects.

Will LocontoWill Loconto Music and Sound

I have worked with Nathan on several projects and all I can say is that he is not only a dedicated and competent professional, but also someone you can connect with on a personal level. Working with Nathan has always been an enjoyable and highly productive experience for me. Nathan has a way of listening carefully to your needs and will quickly produce the results that you’re hoping for.

Markus KrichelProducer, NetDevil Games

Nathan not only provides us with excellent music and sfx for our games, but he has mastered the specific technical aspects of the Nintendo DS.  I can heartily recommend Nathan for any game projects you might have and even more specifically for any Nintendo DS projects.

Ed MagninDirector of Development - Magnin and Associates

We worked with Nathan during the production of our newest space trading game – Smugglers 4. He always completed tasks assigned to him to our utmost satisfaction. His working methods were always marked by trustworthiness and absolute dependability.

Niels BauerLead Developer - Niels Bauer Games

First of all, Nathan is the most professional person I’ve ever worked with. In our time together at Funimation, he went above and beyond the call of duty every step of the way, and he did it with the greatest of ease.
