About me

Hello,

My name is Derek Riede, and I am a sound engineer, music producer, and creative visionary with a passion for crafting immersive audio and visual experiences. I recently graduated from Full Sail University's Recording Arts program, where I honed my technical expertise in audio engineering, music production, and sound design, alongside a solid foundation in show production and live event coordination.

My journey in music and audio began with a deep fascination for how sound can evoke emotion and tell stories. Over the years, I've developed a unique approach to my work, blending technical precision with a creative mindset. As a producer and DJ under my alias Dr. Rein, I create music that merges acoustic and electronic elements, delivering powerful soundscapes that resonate with listeners.

In addition to my music production work, I've contributed to diverse projects such as:

Designing sound for video games (Ori, God of War, Hades) and post-production for independent short films.
Directing Bajo la Luna Fest, where I handled creative conceptualization, logistics, and budget management to bring a festival to life.
Working in live audio-visual production, where I gained hands-on experience in rigging, lighting, and camera systems, including jib operation.
Beyond audio, I am also a visual artist with experience in traditional mediums like painting, clay modeling, and woodwork, as well as digital art, photography, and video editing. These skills allow me to take a holistic approach to storytelling, integrating sound and visuals into cohesive, impactful projects.

What truly drives me is the opportunity to connect with audiences and collaborators, creating work that is innovative, meaningful, and unforgettable. Whether it's engineering a live show, crafting music in the studio, or conceptualizing a creative vision, I thrive in dynamic environments that challenge me to push boundaries.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I am eager to continue growing, collaborating, and making an impact in the audio and creative industries.
