About me

Sound is not finish. It is architecture.

I design spatial audio systems for VR, XR, and immersive media, building the sonic environments that shape where audiences look, what they feel, and how long they stay present.

I'm Billy Mello. 30+ years across broadcast, interactive, and immersive media. Emmy-nominated. Peabody Award-winning.
Based in Spain, working with studios and teams across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

✅ WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PROJECT:

I don't just deliver audio, I build systems that make sound a structural part of the experience.

My work spans:
→ Spatial audio direction and implementation for VR/XR (binaural, Ambisonics, real-time environments)
→ Wwise, Unreal Engine, and Unity pipeline integration
→ Immersive soundtracks for games, education, healthcare, and branded XR content
→ EmotiTone(TM) — my proprietary methodology combining music theory, psychology, and neuroscience to generate predictable emotional responses in listeners.

In partnership with Erasmus University (Netherlands), I developed AI-based audio solutions validated to reduce
stress markers and increase cognitive focus, translating emotional design into measurable outcomes.
This is not theory. It is what separates intentional audio from background sound.

❓ WHO I WORK WITH:
VR studios and XR companies who need more than a sound designer, they need someone who understands
experience architecture.
Indie filmmakers and producers building immersive narratives where audio must carry emotional weight without dialogue.
Brands and institutions ready to treat sound as a strategic asset, not a production checkbox.

If you're building something immersive and want audio
that changes how people feel inside it.
