Mangled Metal

This sounds awesome! I'm definitely going to have to spring for this one. From The Recordist, via Designing Sound

The Sound of Transformers

I was ready to write off this movie as another crappy Hollywood crappy crap. But then I saw this about the sound. Wow. Great sound design video. Original post by Michael Coleman here.

Garden Share

I recently became more involved in the management of my CSA which I have been a member of for the last couple years. I took some pictures today for our website and newsletter. I enjoy taking still life shots of food.

Excuse me – do you speak chive?

Dem's some damn good looking eggs.

Nick Summer Packaging

Summer is here and it's time for the Fresh Beat Band, Dora, Bubbleguppies and all your friends at Nick Preschool. This is the first in a series of spots we mixed as part of the Nickelodeon re-packaging coming this summer.

On a separate note – Dora makes so much money. When is Nick going to hire a decent composer for Dora and stop spitting out cr*p content. Never mind the low budget animation. Really. Please.


This is the SFX only split.

I really enjoyed having time to experiment with the sound on this spot. The producer really wanted to give it a summery feel and to underscore the sparkle with all the lens flares. I found some nice bell-like synth sounds in Digidesign's Xpand2 synth and played a bunch of high chords and arpeggios. Then I flipped them backwards, ran them through the TL Space Reverb, flipped that backwards, ran them through again, flipped, bussed, verbed some more and there ya go. I used a nice big cavernous church reverb. I love TL Space. The true stereo long tail convolution reverb sounds awesome.
