MEET YOUR COLLABORATOR

I’m Nick Lambert, founder and lead producer at Magic Mantis Media, an audio and video production company based in Austin, Texas. I bring a wealth of experience across audio engineering, sound design, videography music production, composition, and voice acting.

My philosophy centers on bringing my clients’ sound and story to life exactly as they imagined, while ensuring they have an awesome experience throughout the creative process. I earned dual associate degrees with summa honors in Recording Arts and Audio Visual Arts from The Recording Conservatory of Austin (TRCoA), where I studied the artistic and technical side of audio/video production.

Outside the studio, I enjoy playing piano and listening to all sorts of music from jazz and classical to metal and folk, as well as film and video game soundtracks. I also enjoy hiking, cooking, and baking.

Here are some of my favorite artists, songs, composers, and films that continue to inspire me.

Artists/Songs

• Coldplay – “Clocks” (A Rush of Blood to the Head)

• Muse – “Ruled by Secrecy” (Absolution)

• Daft Punk – “Derezzed” (TRON: Legacy)

Composers

• Hans Zimmer – Dune (My favorite score among Zimmer’s works.)

• Yoko Shimomura – Kingdom Hearts (My favorite video game series.)

• Frédéric Chopin – Prelude in E Minor (The first piece I ever learned on piano.)

Films

• Spirited Away - 2001 (I rewatch this film every year.)

• Jurassic Park - 1993

• Alien - 1979

(Both Jurassic Park and Alien fueled my fascination for sound design.)
