One of the rocks on the kitchen counter couldn’t be trusted.

Creativity should have value, I also realise that not everyone has the same advantage when it comes to income. If you’ve been listening for a while or want to complete a collection, all my releases are "name your price" today. matthewflorianz.bandcamp.com/track/katsch... #ambient #soundscapes

10k above the Dutch Sea Defences, the intricate engineering and ingenuity of Dutch planning, show a protected river delta in the South of the Netherlands. All this to protect from rising tides and Wester-Storms. youtu.be/lD3OE8BzN5c #airial #photography #dutch #seaworks #ambient #music

Surprised this still exists (teletekst-data.nos.nl/webplus?p=10...). This used to be broadcast in TV signals (see top of b&w image) and accessible via the TV remote. The simplicity and straightforward language used are calming even if it felt slow back then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext

The hypnotic motion of the coffee roaster - could almost smell it. #coffee #electronicmusic

Every audiophile needs to invest in an “umschalter 2000” from @whiteseastudio and save themselves a ton of money. Then again one could also buy a titanium oxygen-free polarised quantum audio cable instead. To really make the soundstage shine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRFY...

Come listen to James Stant talk about what he knows best! #DevelopConf

For #gameaudio and #sounddesign the x/y pad in Hourglass was a brilliant sculpting tool. More granular vst's exist today, yet Hourglass is still useful for experiments, looping textures and source creation like shown below. In-depth look: youtu.be/QMUyM7h02_A More examples: youtu.be/dKjuteP8A9U

Hello, Halo my old friend. Legendary co-op, it is still hard work and fun. Like it’s brutalist inspired architecture, enemies are readable and reactive, allowing for planned strategies and creativity. Still playable thanks to the championing efforts for backwards compatibility at @xbox.com .

Recommendation: Virtuoso Piano, Electronics and sometimes using her voice to to sing. #haniarani is a mesmerising artist and there's no better introduction than her live performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFRd...

Transform dull and lifeless source into thundering Ambient Environment Soundscapes - #ambient #musiccreation #tutorial Watch my 45 minute deep dive here: youtu.be/HPDGp6b829s With a full breakdown vst’s used. Aimed at audiences of all experience levels. Teaser below: youtube.com/shorts/voZSy...

Cannot stop listening to this incredible song by @robinkester.com - what a dream. Absolutely brilliant are those expressive little jewels of instrumentation and that slightly detuned synth swimming in and out of the reverb. What a voice too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLxm...

Quick breakdown of whooshes with custom textures in Whoosh: www.youtube.com/shorts/jvq9x... For an in-depth breakdown of this kind of workflow see this recent long form tutorial video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uhZ... #magic #sounddesign #tutorial #gameaudio

This looks close to how I remember seeing these films (bright as the sun) and the sound design is also so bold and in your face - the music has that analogue wobble to it. Watching evokes a strong emotional reaction (of nostalgia) too. An amazing achievement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTPU...

The strangest group I’ve ever played Elden Ring with - The Invader guided us to the next bonfires and the hunter was along for the ride. Apparently we can all get along just fine!

He is absolutely right 👇

If we have dealt with the Thargoid threat in Sol then why enemy shaped?

No waiting times at the B&M Wingcoaster you say? Don’t mind If I do ride it multiple times!

The Black Dog Runs at Night.

Go back home house, you’re drunk! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

Comparing FabFilter4 to spectral EQ favourtie: DSEQ by TBProAudio. First thing that stood out is how good both are. Fabfilter also seemed to have a somewhat collapsed width during limited A/B testing. The warm filter is beautiful and rich, love the harmonics! And the workflow is a dream.

Electromagnetic Oscillators I thought it interesting to show an #electromagnetic #microphone feeding into a #synthesizer to create #soundscapes. It mutates the frequency of the oscillators based on what it is picking up. This interplay results in unexpected new timbres. youtu.be/ANuP66qtHkg

Hey #Gamers - if you’re looking to upgrade your audio consider classic headphones? Akg, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser etc. Spend the same as you would on a “gamer headset” and you get rich, dynamic sound that is more than likely the same gear that we use. Gameaudio, share what you use for reference?

A highly sensitive Electro Magnetic #microphone picks up the faintest of whirs and rhythmic pulses from screens and processors. When fed through a Hydrasynth #synthesizer it blossoms into a landscape of sound. matthewflorianz.bandcamp.com/track/cenest... #ambient #noise #soundscape #recording

The goal of #gameaudio mixing is to achieve storytelling that clearly highlights the core emotional context of a presentation, while consistently communicating player relevant information. A short guide to shed light on common pitfalls and lessons learned: www.linkedin.com/pulse/prepar...

Glen and team throw a brilliant party - if you’re in narrative, this is the place to be 👇

Create Granular, Mid-Bass, PhasePlant-like textures using mostly free plug-ins and Reaper? Play Rate on the Master Track to change the playback speed: youtube.com/shorts/iYGbh... The full length breakdown (timestamped): www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uhZ... #sounddesign #reaper #granularsynthesis

New synth hammers down on analogue warmth. Can't get that with an all digital. #synthesizer

Skyrim now also runs on the universe - no wait what, that’s not a level up screen?

“… Kiwanuka has acknowledged influences from musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Ray Charles, Bill Withers, Otis Redding …” The album version of Cold Little Heart is epic - this slightly shorter cut a great introduction. youtu.be/nOubjLM9Cbc

Every time that I think, Bsky is doing something cool, there is another fun thing it does: My user name is an actual domain, how cool is that!? I loved the way the internet worked in the 90’s with local servers and it being just about the web itself. I feel that here.

In awe of what creator Jurre is building in #PlanetCoaster2! That lighthouse is build around a Helter Skelter ride and illustrates what the team was going for when allowing for much more versatile customisation of rides. Respect for your skill and creativity: www.reddit.com/user/Broad_C...

WitchFire by The Astronauts (The Vanishing of Ethan Carter) Clever progression and environments. The level layout and "encounter" based progression is reminding me of the 1st Halo. 2nd map has a Silent Cartographer vibe, especially this path leading up to the interior. 💙 the early access so far.

I needed this on my timeline. Incredibly talented: youtu.be/gxwWGdqS8zo

Happy Halloween - Stay Warm (if you dare touch this thermostat).

My partner carved her first ever pumpkin and it’s entirely the same energy.

Listing to John Williams and Hania Rani this morning. My three year old calmed right down when E.T. and Me played :-)

Sorry #gameaudio soapbox time. Especially on linkedin there is an increase in audio companies and peeps promoting using AI generated artwork and it is not cool. The render is almost certainly trained on other people’s art. It is also hypocrisy, what about an artist using Ai music, voice and sfx?

The #gameaudio team at Frontier Developments spend the last month perfecting the audio for Planet Coaster 2. We've been mixing our most detailed content-management-strategy soundscape to date. Thousands of emitters and voices work together to create an intricate first-person soundscape.

What's the right amount of particles? Answer: Yes. Looks stunning Jussi!

It's time to bring out the Halloween EQ.

Elite Dangerous’ Mandalay ship first-look. Brilliant fun that they mention #gameaudio! This one is extra special as the boost sound is the result of an internal 45 min. audio design challenge. Ended up using a little from every submissions. Doesn’t it sounds yummy?! youtu.be/Rcng4D2JOvg?...

Dark ambient from my good friend and frequent collaborator:

“… With this in mind, one could say that Onbegonnen is a kind of ‘generative’ album, but in a way that (as far as I know) no one else has thought of before…” #ambient #electronic #music writeup of my concept album on bandcamp, that will change over time. www.ambientblog.net/blog/2024-10...
