Hi, I’m Pan Athen – creative audio professional, educator, entrepreneur, and martial arts instructor. I’m passionate about pushing boundaries in sound design, immersive audio, and creative technology. Outside the studio, I’ve spent years studying and teaching martial arts, exploring both their practical application and philosophical depth. I’m a nomadic solopreneur and I offer consulting services, specializing on creative media technologies, psychoacoustics, audiovisual technologies, and software development, focusing on the entertainment media sector.

For my company, visit the SoundFellas Creative Audio Studios.

Welcome to my blog – a space where I share insights, experiences, and tools for mastering creative, philosophical, and combative disciplines.

Here’s what I focus on:

  • Creative Audio: Sound design, game audio, music production, immersive audio, film sound, audio application architecture, audio plugins, and virtual instrument design.
  • Martial Arts: Filipino Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, MMA, Karate, bladed combat, urban self-defense, action choreography.
  • Teaching: Instructional design, creative teaching, fun and games in learning, teaching methodologies, teaching and learning as a way of life.
  • Entrepreneurship: Business management, e-commerce, strategic partnerships, service and product design, digital presence, pricing.
  • More: Politics, philosophy, ethics, our civilization, society, wellness, and more. I believe that every person should have a full life through scientific thinking, benevolent logic, and a positive worldview.
