Mario Godoy is a Mexican-American composer, saxophonist, sound designer, and music educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His compositional style is characterized by the coalescing of rhythm, color, and layered elements. His works span the range of purely acoustic to entirely electric, and he often intermixes these sonic palettes when writing concert pieces, video game music, music for films, and fixed-media works alike. As a media composer and sound designer, he has worked extensively with independent game company Flint Games on several titles, including their most popular release, Blitzkeep Unleashed. He is currently developing music and sound design for Taelmoor, an innovative scan-and-play dungeon-crawler board game by indie game company Delve Bros. In 2022, he partnered with Bay Area filmmaker Dominic Mercurio to provide sound design, foley, dialogue editing, and mixing for his short film He Won’t Belong, which premiered in 2023. Mario is also an active music educator. He is on faculty at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA, where he teaches Scoring for Film and Media and applied lessons in music composition. He is also the music program director at Berkeley’s Maybeck High School, where he has grown the program from a single music appreciation course into a thriving program that offers various courses in music history, audio production, podcasting, and performance in the Maybeck band. more...
