An Artist Who
Builds Things.

I'm Dan Sheils, a creative technologist and multidisciplinary artist working across sound design, music, interactive media, game development, visual art, and creative software. My work includes studio and live audio, original music, Unity experiences, and tools for creative workflows. I have toured nationally as a musician.

I founded Noodlebake Records, an independent record label and creative imprint. I build software through Rhythrosa Labs and run Scattercrate, an art shop. Each has a distinct role within my wider practice.

My past contract work with Rock Paper Reality included sound design for AR/XR experiences. I've also taught introductory game design and generative AI at The Westport Library, led live-event sound work for the Town of Greenwich, and produced music, podcasts, radio, and visual media.
