Erika Lieberman
(Founder, Composer, Sound Designer) -- Erika
came up with the idea for Sonic Legends when a friend was complaining
about not being able to find the perfect background music for a game
he was running. Aside from being a fun and useful project, it also
helped justify the otherwise useless master's degree in music technology
she earned from NYU. Erika has composed music for film and television,
and has worked as a music director and musician for various Shakespearean
theatre companies and renaissance festivals. She plays a variety of
instruments, but is primarily a Celtic harpist. Her favorite games
are White Wolf's Changeling and Vampire, and she also still loves
a good ol' fashioned game of DnD.
