OVERVIEW
Welcome once again! My name's Henry Scott and I spend most of my time tinkering with my two biggest passions in life, video games and all things audio.
If you're planning on making a game that will explode on Steam with real potential, exciting gameplay, gripping narrative or detailed strategy that just needs a little bit of sonic excitement, then I can help! Need a quick list detailing my skills and expertise in game audio that shows how I'm not just banging two rocks together? Well look no further, I have:

WHERE MY PASSION CAME FROM
As mentioned earlier, my two biggest passions in life are videos games and audio, and they always have been from a young age, but it didn't occur to me for a while that I could combine the two. One of my earliest game/music related memories was at the age of 8.
My mum suggested to me one day that I should learn how to play an instrument for a hobby. She though if I learnt one she could send me to a good school that required the children it took on to play an instrument. At first, I wasn't too bothered either way, but then I remembered some music from one of my favourite games at the time (and still is to this day), RAYMAN 3 for the PS2. Now this games music still stands out to me, it's fun, memorable, plesantly weird in some places and fits the world of rayman with it's fairy-tale setting and mystical lands very well. However the main music wasn't what I thought of at that time. There was one particular cut-scene where a doctor had to remove a black lum (basically a big hairy fly) called André from the stomach of one of the main characters, Glowbox. To do this the doctor took Glowbox's arm, plucked it like a string a couple of times and then started playing heavy rock riffs with it like it was an electric guitar, to annoy André enough for him to fly out. I thought it was bizarre but hilarious and thought if I learnt how to play the guitar, I could learn what he was playing in that scene and play it myself. And so, I told my mum that I decided to take up the guitar! From there I wrote songs, played in bands and studied music at university, all because of that silly scene from RAYMAN 3.
However it wasn't always smooth sailing between myself and my guitar. At the early age of 10 I had started to get a little fed up and bored with playing the guitar. I wasn't playing the music I liked, finding some chords too hard to play and decided one day that I wanted to stop. I still wasn't old enough to get into the musical school my mum had picked out for me so she tried her best to convince me to keep practicing. Sadly I was convinced that playing the guitar just wasn't for me. About a year past and I still hadn't picked up a guitar since I quit. I one day decided to go round my friends house after school, where he suggested to me that we should play some video games. We dug through his collection until he found a game that was about to not only change the type of games I played, but convince me to take up playing the guitar again. That game was none other than GUITAR HERO 3. I absolutely fell in love with this concept of gaming and all the songs that was available on GUITAR HERO. So much so that I soon convinced my little brother to get on a bus with me, put all our savings together and purchase the game from a local supermarket. We took it home, jumped on it straight away and even though my brother got bored of it quite quickly, I didn't for a long time. After learning how to play all these songs on the guitar controller, I decided that wasn't good enough, and asked my mum to book me more guitar lessons again.
