New Sound Creation

Branching out

I've been using a motu 828 to mix the sound through several speakers. I am still working on mixing my recordings. Updates to follow soon.

Back From the Canyonlands in Utah

Just had a nice 3 week vacation in the canyonlands and colorado. Made this short while I was there. It's really all about seeing my first tumble weed, and it plays the lead roll. Enjoy

A work in progress

Exploring light as well as layering sound. This is a prototype. Eventually these sound proof booths will be more along the lines of 12' x 12' rooms, made from a variety of materials including sheet rock. Some of the rooms are lined with sound proofing material to kill any echos and then others will enhance the reverberation. The sounds vary from several environments.
