My current position as Game Designer in Residence at MICA is ending in August 2021, and I’m now looking for my next adventure. Send me an email at yann@yannseznec.com, or schedule a video meeting.

My current main hobby: film photography and home development. Self portrait on infrared film.

My ideal job is at the intersection of sound, music technology, experimentation, and play. I want to continue to explore, make, release, and share creative work.

Where?

I have dual French/American citizenship and Settled Status in the UK, so I can work anywhere in the European Union, the UK, or the USA.

What kind of thing am I after?

  • R&D
  • Teaching Position
  • Funded PhD (read my proposal below!)
  • Creative Technologist
  • Sound Designer
  • Musical Experimenter
  • Game Sound person

Me, in bullet point form:

  • Masters degree in Sound Design
  • 14 years of professional and academic teaching experience
  • Think creatively and critically about sound, music, and interaction.
  • Can develop interactive audio software using a range of techniques
  • Experienced with prototype hardware development
  • Experienced performer
  • Have developed custom interfaces and instruments for a wide variety of clients on a freelance basis.
  • Have run a number of workshops for children and young adults focusing on interactive digital music technologies.
  • Founded and ran the award-winning company Lucky Frame
  • Speak fluent English and French.

What are my priorities?

I would like to be somewhere that is creatively stimulating, socially engaged, family friendly, diverse, and has a healthy approach to work. A good salary is important but of course the exact figure depends on location (as a reference, my current position at MICA in Baltimore pays ~US$75k/year before benefits and taxes).
