hell yeah

I just revisited this thing I made for a game jam (big up co-jammers Virág and Tété!) called A Drop in The Ocean - an oceanic futurist fantasy where marine life teams up to save itself from humanity. I actually think it holds up pretty well! Narrative and audio by me 💧 blubberbaleen.itch.io/drop

Tonight! 🐳🐳🐳

Oh yeah and I'm at Develop tomorrow (wednesday) for one night only too - LGBTQIA roundtable at 2pm - Spill The Tea with @outmakinggames.bsky.social 4pm - Games Industry Biz Party at 7pm Hit me up if you are around and don't be afraid to say hi 🌊

🔔🐳 THIS FRIDAY I am performing my piece [whalesong] for one night only. It's a sound piece about the noises and voices in the sea using an absurd array of audio tools. Perfect post-Develop night out down at @theatredeli.bsky.social PWYC tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/city-fring... 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋

FRIENDS 🐳 I am presenting my sound piece [whalesong] in London for the first time since 2020 ✨ it is a love song to cetaceans (toothed and baleen 🐋) where I create oceanic soundscapes with my voice, body, and hacked game controllers.

morning improvisation with my head in a bowl of water 💦🫧 and a flint rock on a sheet of copper 🪨✨

Huge respect to organisations like this who are taking a stand! Seen too many that cop out by saying they're 'apolitical' or make excuses for Barclays just because it benefits them.

I'm working on a project atm which reminded me of this absolute gem of a sound piece

“biological sex” should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes

moving around rocks reveals ancient topographies and maps - the opening of an audiovisual installation about the origins of mining and critical minerals 🪨 (Megalith by Mechanimal, visuals by Limbic Cinema, audio by me)

rock-controlled audiovisual installation 🗿

Tree project I keep banging on about finally happened 🌳🌳🌳 super successful, lots of amazing feedback, tbh I'm just glad my tech pipeline actually worked! this video shows it in action - the music underscores one of the areas in the experience ✨ #deepwood #installation #soundart #maxmsp #unity #wwise

i'm usually a very chill person but the fact that trying to select all the text in a property in reaper makes you select ALL THE ITEMS IN THE WORLD is really sending me to the edge today

honestly feeling p proud over the creative tech I've built for the #deepwood installation 😊 - unity scene to trigger events based on participants' positions ⭕ - max/ableton to parse and sonify incoming biosensor data 🔊 - wwise to binauralise and route out to each participants' headphones 🎧

we're still looking for more tree memories and stories! (want to make a sort of cloud of lots of them whirling around) wa.me/+447848177916

#Deepwood is getting close! We've moved trees now, instead of the ancient hawthorn we're going for this little glade of fruit trees just about to bloom. Tom has been set dressing to make each tree look special - in the piece, walking by each one plays back a different soundscape ✨🌱

I'm collecting spoken stories to build a sonic picture of people's relationships to trees for a sound piece - it could be a childhood memory, a cool tree fact, a spiritual, nostalgic experience, anything! To contribute, send a short voice note by whatsapp to +447848177916 🌳✨ & please share out xx

Ableton's Wavetable is absolutely awesome for voice! So many cool textures, I really recommend playing with it. Here I've been working on the sound for a garbled signal 🤖 (longer version: youtu.be/7iKzzu6dP-A)

Yes! got Unity set up tracking a person's position around a tree, with audio sources set up at various points in space - so you can walk around a 3d field of sounds (didnt get the audio but hopefully you get the idea!) ✨🌳 #deepwood by #mechanimal

Just had a beautiful and successful early run through of Deepwood, the installation where biosensor data from a tree is translated into a meditative soundscape 🌲🧑‍💻 this is my view from the audio gazebo (with my lovely headphone hook tree assistant) super excited to be hearing it all come together!

Yo yo, I am free for a few months to work on some games for anyone looking for an audio nerd. I have 2 and half years of experience and 6 games big and small completed and accounted for 🙇 my portfolio website: www.ulysssesatsea.com 🦎

I've been putting money aside each month for a pension and I'm gonna be so pissed off if I die before I retire

Tree listening station set up - biosensor data is being sonified and turned into a listening experience 🌳🧑‍💻

Biosensors attached to an ash tree, now for sonification to turn the data into sound! (sensors designed by Danilo Olivaz) project: #deepwood by #mechanimal

Setting up a sonification system to play sounds with sensors in a tree. Currently toying with a lightweight machine learning tool (Wekinator), it's a million years old but I really like it. Anyone used anything similar/newer? Not interested in generating sounds, more about mapping complex parameters

while I was in the south of Chile I spent some time in native old growth temperate rainforests listening to trees 🌳 I think I heard water, possibly sap? and creaks/ bending as they swayed in the wind. Also cool to hear my hands touching and drumming on the tree through the resonance of the trunk 💚

dangerous times

Yes! an arts company I work with got funding 💰💰💰 to put sensors in a tree and make a generative sound installation 🌳🎶🍄 suuuper hyped to be the audio and tech lead for the project, will be sharing as it develops over the next few months ☺️

since I joined bluesky I've had a slow but steady stream of crypto / gen ai / blockchain / libertarian types following me here, who i all immediately block, you are not welcome 😘

for those who post on linkedin to show off what they know (eg 'heres a cool sound design trick!') - how do you figure out what's a method or tool that people probably won't know? I have plenty of "tricks" but I have no idea if they're common knowledge and don't want to come across amateur

Not a usual #gamejobs listing - 4 day/week helping teach XR (in Unreal Engine) to art students. Honestly does sound really exciting for the right person! www.artsjobs.org.uk/jobs/search/...

and now 3 weeks later watching the sun set over the pacific on a warm summer's night in Chile 🌅

London based audio peeps this looks like a cool beginner friendly intro to how you can use networking to make interactive sound for performance ⚡ musichackspace.org/product/open... (not affiliated just saw on a newsletter!)

A play I did sound design for is going up in Vilnius this weekend - featuring live foley with vegetables, a table amplified with contact mics, and silly donk beats - about the nature of cancer 🍇⚡ www.menuspaustuve.lt/en/repertoir...

The next round of 'Developing Your Creative Practice' grant has just opened. 3 years ago I got £10,000 to invest in my own practice which was mad helpful. ACE bureaucracy can be hard to understand at times; hmu if you want some help applying 🐳 www.artscouncil.org.uk/dycp/dycp-ho...

Mad looking at the effect of the downturn of the games industry this year - my income from game audio has gone from being on par with my theatre work to just 14% so far this year. Especially given I've actually been trying to step back from theatre so I can do more games 😅
