Don’t Fall Asleep!

December 10, 2018 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

Don’t Fall Asleep!

  My last post here was in July. In keeping with the theme, you could say I was hibernating, but that’s not really true. Life, work, projects, recording: all these things fought for my time and unfortunately what suffered was the amount I had left for a volunteer position I loved as a contributing editor here at designingsound.org. Unlike our wild mammalian sisters and … [Read more...]

The Audio Mentoring Project: An Interview with Ariel Gross and Adriane Kuzminski

For those not familiar with the Audio Mentoring Project, or AMP, it was started just a year ago as a means to pair up veterans in the audio industry with people with less experience to help provide mentoring services and a symbiotic relationship of mutual learning and respect.

Making a Career Out of Audio

June 25, 2018 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

Making a Career Out of Audio

I was exceptionally lucky to have stumbled/lied my way into a dream job designing sound for video games twenty years ago, and am even more fortunate to have somehow made a career out of it. Sometimes people ask me how I’ve managed to stay afloat in this tumultuous industry having braved numerous crunches, layoffs, studio shutdowns, moral dilemmas, and crises of confidence. When … [Read more...]

Reevaluating the Practice of Testing Prospective Candidates

March 20, 2018 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

Reevaluating the Practice of Testing Prospective Candidates

Eureka moments are often steeped in excitement and wonder. They are the great discoveries and innovations of the ages. Others are a slap on the forehead, a "why didn't I think of this sooner?" moment. This particular Eureka moment I'm about to share is of the latter variety and came about three paragraphs into an email I was writing. The monologue from my brain to myself went … [Read more...]

Humane Interface Design for Synthesis

This is a guest post by Randy Jones, founder of Madrona Labs a Seattle-based company making hardware and software for computer music. You can reach him @MadronaLabs.

Mapping Sound to Color

December 20, 2017 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

Mapping Sound to Color

For this month’s topic of Spectrum, I decided to take the word literally, as applied to color, and consider its relationship to sound. The impetus for this decision was a conversation I had with a co-worker, the late sound designer Stillwind Borenstein, about thirteen years ago. He explained an interest that, since both sound and color can be expressed or measured in frequency, … [Read more...]
