ABout Erik Foreman

Erik Foreman working at the Academy Museum Los Angeles

For sixteen years, I worked at George Lucas’ legendary Skywalker Sound with amazingly talented artists using cutting-edge gear in extraordinary ways and creating spectacular soundtracks. From ADR gigs with Robin Williams, George Lucas, Ang Lee, and Ronnie James Dio to sound design and mix work with Genndy Tartakovsky, Ryan Coogler, and Robert Rodriquez. I did it all and loved every minute. I won three Emmys.

In 2016, I moved over to Dolby Laboratories to become a member of a small content team responsible for showcasing the awesomeness that is Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Leveraging the science of sight and sound and the engineering behind it, I became an expert in the new world of immersive audio and video, working one-on-one with artists like Hank Shocklee and Perry Farrell.

Today, I am a sound artist who demonstrates the value and art of Dolby Atmos to the public through large-scale exhibitions and numerous high-profile partners who are keen on adopting this tech for their products. I run a business creating top tier content for companies such as Apple, Blizzard, Warner Brothers and local musicians.

I’m passionate and driven by the art, the story, and immersive consumer experiences.
