Been heavy in the throes of development on Conan, and some other game audio related projects. In the meantime here's a roundup of a ton of old game noise related articles, and a few off topic sound/ music related ones as well.

It's recently been announced that the title i've been working on since making the jump to California will be a new game from the CONAN universe. I'll feed some more details as they become available, but it's exciting to have it out in the open. I'm sitting in a pleasant position suggesting audio tech, plugging in sfx/music content, and making the game sound as good as possible. Hopefully i'll be

I was looking back on the last year with a bit of nostalgia for some of the sound work I was able to be a part of, and thought I would put up a google video of a clip from a game inspired movie called Avalon, that I redid the sound for as part of a collaborative throw-down where a few of us noise makers would attack a short video clip and overhaul the audio for it. Hope 2007 finds you all

The limitless potential of diversity and non-standard randomization.We've all been there, several hours into a game and we just can't take it anymore. The same gunshot over and over, a signature spell or power-up...whatever the case, we've all been bitten by the repetition bug at some point in our gaming marathons. Some of these cases seem to have been deliberately crafted to impart their sonic

Well, maybe not brilliance per se...but I do hope to have some frantic musings on this world of audio I've been submersed in lately. There is an article waiting to happen that involves several building systems, a portable computer, and a microphone. A multitude of sound samples to accompany pictures of said noise making devices, and a slew of anecdotes about what it's like inside the belly of a

Footloose and fancy free!

These days it dosent take much to wow me. Gone are the jaded days of hard to impress stoicism and ragamuffin impishness. A full on return to beauty everywhere and innocence abounding is just what mother nature calls for on days like these. Enter pickledonion, a little 3 instrument step sequencer by Andrew Allenson that really delivers on the splendor of spontaneaous bliss. Once shockwave loads

Alot of people who come here like to look at my pedal board (dont ask me why...maybe it's sexy? I have my own reasons for taking piles of pictures of it)...mmm...look at it...sooo pretty, how I miss you since I left you back home in MN. Built from 5/8" ply-wood, it's got a nifty fold up design that allows fo either a side-by-side configuration or a two-tiered monster stomper that quickly

The clock is ticking on your chance to employ yours truly as an in-house sound designer/ audio implementor. The house is ready to go, the market is ripe for a sale, the family is poised for a relocation. If you are looking for an audio guy for your game development, now is the time for ACTION! Make it happen.

The significance of establishing pleasure in the sonification of emotionally driven sound effects. It happens without your knowing, everyday waking up to the sounds of the world. Each step as familiar as it is different. Your day alive with the noise of life constantly updating your auditory experience. Within this environment we come to identify and identify with the various recurring dramatic
