Alexander Gooch

Musician · Composer · Sound Designer · Creative Producer
I have 20 years of classical and contemporary music experience, resulting in a wide-ranging approach to composition, songwriting, and sonic storytelling.As a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sound designer, I create complex and emotive pieces, blending musicality with experimentation and sound design.
I’ve performed live across Australia, collaborating with diverse acts including children’s performer Brett Campbell, the Sunshine Coast band Dogs And Their Owners, and funk group Moose Knuckle.Today my work centres on songwriting, arrangement, recording, and production and post work, with a particular interest in atmosphere, dynamics, and long-form thematic cohesion. I’m drawn to music that functions as a living system; evolving, fluid, and expressive. Whether I’m working with minimal acoustic elements or layered, experimental textures, my priority is always serving the thematic intention of the piece. That work strongly informs how I approach all projects: with patience, intention, and respect for the work.

More importantly, his openness and willingness to collaborate gives the collective a feeling of completion, and we’re forever grateful that Gooch Town has found us." - Berry Hartono, Shoku Life

_FR     Studio Work

Foley · Editing · Sound Design · Post-Production · Label
Through my experience in music production and voice acting, I developed a passion for sound design and post-production. This is why I’m currently undertaking a range of unpaid and deferred-pay media projects to build, refine, and fully commit to this craft, and to further expand my skills in sonic storytelling.I work with a highly methodical workflow, and although this is my most recent professional focus, I approach every project with clarity, care, and a strong sense of professionalism.
