Hi. I’m not really on here anymore. I’d love to see you all over on the bleu ski place I’m
thesounddesigner over there, which with the benefit of hindsight now looks a bit arrogant, but..
I’ll be doing an Aldrich Kemp competition over there when it’s released. Win signed stuff!

For all those people needing to access the power button on the new M4 Mac Mini (underneath at the back) we should be able to buy a G4 Cube attachment. That would be gorgeous. It’s almost enough to make me want to buy a Mini (excuse crap photoshop skills)

My brief with Temporal was to push as many audio boundaries as possible. Thanks to @SweetTalkProds and @cartoongravity I was able to take time to work to an incredible level of detail. This project defines the edges of my ability today.

Wilfredo Acosta, @pezzatronic and I were given one episode each of this series so it might be interesting for any young sound designers to look for the differences in our approaches and see which works best for you. I’ll be listening for ideas too.

Oh no. I’d missed this. Herbie was such a lovely guy with a permanent glint in the eye! Genuinely saddened by this news.

RIP ace bassist Herbie Flowers. He took my mum out on a date once. 'Such a lovely man, but I think Herbie might have a girl in every port, son' She was 80, he 78.

No one could claim my job is the same every day.
Yesterday I was in Oxford recording a Koto for a Radio 4 Christmas drama (apologies for using the C-word in August)

For the Temporal episode about DB Cooper and the plane hijacking I needed the sound effect of a bomb in a suitcase. I bought an old school timer off eBay which has a really good ticking sound and taped it into one of my equipment boxes.
