Been too long since I’ve been on here but now is time for an update, recently I was a winner of a sound design competition run by dynamicinterference.com. The task was to replicate and onomatopoeia for the web based comic No Need For Bushido, to read comments about my submission and hear the sound click on the following link:

An interview with Shaun Farley should also be up soon as well as analysis of the sound from David Sonnenschein.
Apart from university work I have also been continuing on sound design for the Mythia game as well as recently writing music and recording voice and sounds for an art installation by photographer Charlotte knight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cvjk/
Back at uni
Well since I last posted haven’t been up to much, apart from moving back to Cambridge to begin my last year at university. The modules all look good and I’m really looking forward to getting on with my major project but need to finalize the title before I get going. Should hopefully be doing some more work for the various games I am working on soon just need to get back into the swing of working.
Progress
The gore library is building up nicely and I now have 254 sounds. Only twelve more minutes to go through but they are the most intense so I think I will take a short break from it and start work on more of the games sounds next.
115
That’s right, since I’ve been going through the recordings of the fruit and vegetable slaughter I have got 115 sounds out of only 10 of the 40 minutes I recorded. I’m going to have lots of gore by the time I’m finished.
Yesterday I began collecting source elements for my dissertation. The first stop was gore! As you can see from the photos I went through many fruit and veg using my hands and a selection of weapons to create all manner of gut churning sounds. So far I have gone through a recording that came to me by chance, the wet kitchen roll I was using to clean up afterwards and have done the necessary cutting and editing and now have the start of a small gore library consisting on 15 impacts and 1 nice long dripping squeeze. Looking forward to going through the rest, lots of work ahead but good fun.
Pro Tools
After a long and difficult process I finally have Pro Tools LE 8 on my laptop and was able to get my Korg NanoKontrol setup as a small mixer. I have been waiting to have this all for so long and now I feel I will be able to work quicker and to a better standard with sound design. I hoping that by tomorrow I will have a few more sounds for Crystal Blade and I will post a sound I recorded yesterday.
This is genius!
