Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Wayne and gain some insight into the sound of The Texas Chain Saw … [Read more...]

Designing Sound With Artifacts – An Experiment

October 18, 2018 by Oscar Coen

Designing Sound With Artifacts – An Experiment

Whenever we add some sort of lo-fi effect to a sound we usually get two things, the removal of some details of the sound and the addition of artifacts. This can be a bunch of different things, like aliasing and quantization error in the case of bit crushing, distortion, speaker emulation, or the more complex artifacts created by data compression (mp3, aac etc.). I'm interested … [Read more...]

Designing Signature Sounds

October 11, 2018 by Morten Brogaard

Designing Signature Sounds

Not all sounds are created equally. There are sounds that demand just that extra attention. Kate Finan, from Boom Box Post, calls them “signature sounds”. They're the sounds that give a movie or game character. Sounds that we can recall even when we are doing the dishes or having a conversation. These sounds bring characters to life and help make the world unique, believable … [Read more...]

Using Convolution Reverb For Designing Lo-Fi Sounds

  When I think lo-fi, I think lo-fi sci-fi. I think of games like Alien Isolation, Bioshock, SOMA. Films like Alien and Blade Runner. I think of gritty, chunky sounds.

This Maze of Screams and Whispers is as Unsettling as it is Arousing

October 2, 2018 by Peter Hustedt

This Maze of Screams and Whispers is as Unsettling as it is Arousing

Rafael De Cardenas, visionary designer, and Sahra Motalebi, sound artist, combined to bring an eerily unsettling, yet super aesthetic environment based on the design of the maze, entitled AMAZE. The space itself looks like a David Lynch movie combined with mid century modern design, and the sound is a wild, interactive vocal-only sound scape by Sahra Motalebi. … [Read more...]
