Orbital Emitter is a small creative collective started by award winning editor and sound-artist, Charlie Eisenhardt. Over his 30+ year career, Charlie has edited award winning shows, event specials, trailers, promos, commercials, series campaigns and more! And his interest in sound design began years before that when he programmed synthesizers for some of NY’s top recording studios. “Audio plays a huge part in my editorial process today…' Charlie notes, "many times I look for sounds that help support the mood for a scene first- and then build the visuals from there…” So why did a visual editor create a sound fx company? “I started Orbital Emitter because I was doing a lot of editorial work in Sci-Fi media over the years. I did a ton of work for SYFY Channel as well as promo campaigns for movie studios like Paramount, Sony and others... And for a long time, I couldn't find sound FX that felt natural or authentic to whatever the sci-fi show or movie that we were working on. All of the "sci-fi sound FX" we found were just cheesy or too 'big and loud.' Clients would immediately ask for those sounds to be removed because they were just bad or they distracted from the work, which I agreed with. So this started a conversation with some post-production mixers and editors I worked with... And from it, I realized I wasn't alone!" Charlie then spent a few years figuring out his process for sound design with what worked -and what didn't! And thanks to all the professionals who used his sounds and offered feedback, Charlie was able to hone his designs for maximum compatibility. Now with 15+ sound effect libraries released, Charlie is happy to be aiding creative people all over the world! "My goal has always been to help creative people get to the fun part of their jobs quicker by making sounds that just work. Our sound titles might seem esoteric but they’re full of great sounds that can be used as-is or dissected or re-arranged with the audio-stems provided.” "...As a small indy sound FX shop, we try to make sounds that will support any epic film or A-level video game… And while big sounds are fun to work with, we know it's the simple sounds that lend authenticity to movies, shows, video games, audio adventures and whatever you might be making!
