My gride sounds now featuring on 'Write or Die'
I’m really pleased to say that I’ve developed a gride sample for Dr Wicked, creator of the hugely popular web app Write or Die. It uses recent advances in understanding why nails on a blackboard or polystyrene sounds so uncomfortable to hear. The discomforting I have created makes it a perfect ‘punishment’ in Write or Die. Here is more information for those who are...
Brothers In Arms on iPhone makes every other hand... →
First the basic FPS games last week looked pretty cool, and we had Rolando to look forward to. Then this video for Brothers in Arms is released, and makes the iPhone look like a PS2. The graphics actually look so good for a phone that I find it genuinely hard to believe, so I think something fishy is going on, but check out the video here to feel impressed regardless.
Moved into the new flat, it looked lovely before the second wave of ‘stuff’ was moved in. Nearly there…

Moving house tomorrow!
Nothing is packed. I hate packing and moving house, and they always happen together dammit. At least I’ll have my own space with my family and I’ll be a minute walk from the studio I’m working at, so I can spend afternoons in there more often.
Friends, apparantly the sofa bed I’m getting for the front room is top notch so feel welcome to visit for the occasional studio...
Deftones bassist in coma
Just checked up the Deftones site wondering if they had a new album in the works. Good news - they do, it’s called Eros and was started in September - but Chi Cheng, bassist extraordinaire, was in a serious car accident and was put in a coma. The Deftones blog at deftones.com is giving daily updates, and it sounds like he is improving as well as can be hoped, but still sounds severe. Best...

Shak Studio word cloud
I put the business plan for the Shak Studio into something that made a word cloud. I really wish I remembered the site that made this.
It sums the project up really well. This would work great with CVs, biographies, even e-books.
