Welcome

Michael W. Bell is an award-winning film music composer, ambient sound designer, sound engineer, record producer, and the CEO/Founder of Aurora Eclipse Productions Ltd. He has composed music and designed sound for a number of films, trailers, TV shows, documentaries, animations, commercials, companies, and more. In addition to his music work, he has produced and released records for a number of independent artists.

As a lifelong enthusiast in immersive sound and multidimensional art forms, Michael is currently interested to learn what potential we now have as musicians and producers to utilise Dolby Atmos from our personal computers, without the need for expensive monitoring systems and large spaces.

When not composing or producing music, Mike enjoys lecturing at the University of Northampton leading students through industry and production modules. He also creates videos and communicates to his peers via his Discord, YouTube, and Patreon channels. He can also be found hosting AuroraCast, his long-format podcast.
