@SubwooferSub Congratulations that’s awesome

Well, today it's official! I'm so pleased to announce that I've been promoted to Senior Sound Designer at Naughty Dog! What a crazy end of the year and start to this one.

@timprebble Similar vibes to this classic I sometimes show in class

She about to drop some unholy bass #modularsynth

@emiledonovan Yes just heard you talking about this. There are very often multiple moments (and extended sections) in Sigur Ros songs that I wouldn’t have thought of as being linked to baby sleep in any way.

@Airylawyer @Bridgetpee As has been demonstrated time and time again.

@Bridgetpee I think he is saying that you cannot win a horse race while banana hatstand.

Luxon said again today when asked about a capital gains tax: ‘You do not tax your way out of a recession’ What the fuck is he talking about? 💩🧠

@philipbuchanan Congratulations, fantastic

🎉 Up to Par is now out! 🥳 I've had so much fun making this game, seeing it turn from a tiny protype to a full roguelite mini golf game with multiplayer, leaderboards, and courses to discover. I hope that you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it👉bit.ly/roguegolf

@timprebble This is the one we had at school, I still have a reel with one of my school bands on it.

mmm new studio family member! mmmm... quad tape loops recorded at 15ips & replayed at 7.5ips

@MikatteMusic Nice one!

I’m so glad to have been a part of the Dumb Ways to Survive team 💖

@lavercombe I loved walking around Napier while there for a gig not long ago, nice vibe.

I’ve been quiet on here lately…busy in a beautiful city called Napier working on Jersey Boys for the past several weeks. It’s been a lovely time. Super impressed with the city and its people! Here are a few pics to catch you up.

@pickledarlinggg This is a really really nice progression

@MusicOfLee @Komaniecki_R Yesterday I added this video to the usual one I show in my game audio class - vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php…

@Komaniecki_R By weird coincidence, I actually made a video about this very topic for class just last week.

Found a really interesting comparison of the theme for The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) played on different sound cards. Especially cool is how the retro PC "squeaker" speakers, which could only bleat out one square wave at a time, handle the complex composition.

(I took the sound out, it sounds cool but is nothing to do with the actual piece…)

Tomorrow afternoon I not only get to hear a significant Steve Reich piece performed live, but get to play in it, and play marimba!! It’s the New Zealand premiere of Steve Reich’s “Drumming". facebook.com/share/hMcEW7Xv… Many thanks to Justin DeHart for the invite.

@GameSound Congratulations, a pretty fantastic achievement.

15 years ago today, September 24, 2009 we held the first GameSoundCon. Thank you to all the speakers, attendees, sponsors, our Advisory Board and conference associates who helped us start as a 45 person event in a small LA conference room back in 2009, helped us navigate though a global pandemic in 2020 and helped GSC grow into a 1000+ person, global, hybrid event taking up the entire Marriott Burbank Convention center. We are back at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, Oct 29-30, as well as live-streaming as a hybrid event. gamesoundcon.com Amazing how fast the past decade and a half has flown buy... #gameaudio #gamemusic #gamesound #gamesoundcon

NZ media tries to make Israel’s mass terror attack in Lebanon sound cool and impressive:

. @Amelia__Wade has a great story about the scale of cuts required if the government is to achieve its spending targets. I thought that I might add a little more information to that article. A 🧵 waikatotimes.co.nz/politics/35042…

@Menkerton @Jimllpaintit @Gmski @ScarredForLife2 I very much remember this too! What book is it from?

@Jimllpaintit @Gmski Brilliant. Straight away took me back to this @ScarredForLife2
