who we are

HitPlay Pulse started in 2022 at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, when three film composers -  Erwick D’Souza ,  David J. Atkins , and  Caleb Cannon - realized tabletop games deserved better audio.
 

Erwick had the idea. Caleb built the engine from scratch. David and Erwick made it sound like a movie.
 

Caleb also plays a dangerous amount of TTRPGs, which helps.

we Hit Play. our Pulse elevated

HitPlay Pulse is already being tested by a group of sleep-deprived crash test dummies. that's right,
HitPlay Pulse is not just a concept anymore.
