So our Bad Canadian Pistures’ short film BADASS didn’t make it into any festivals. A bit of a bummer, but we’ve already finished another one with others in the works!
Anyways, it has now been released on YouTube Continue reading
A friend of mine asked me recently if I could help out with some music for a project he’d like to pitch for an animated series. My interest was immediately piqued when I saw that the temp music he used was the theme from the original Star Trek series! Continue reading
I was contacted by a friend of mine not too long ago about doing some original music for a video about the Gift Catalogue by World Renew.
It was a great opportunity and was a pleasure to Continue reading
I have always been impressed by the creative and unique route that SOUNDIRON has taken with their selection of sampled instruments. From their ‘Laundronium‘ to their ‘Street Erhu‘ the instruments are always inspiring and distinctive.
The same applies to their latest instrument: The Angklung.
Honestly, I had never even heard of this instrument before, so Continue reading
Well, it’s finally done! I’ve completed the music, sfx & mix for the next Bad Canadian Pictures short film BADASS.
I’ve even got a cameo in the film as the ukulele strumming busker! Also playing a part is Darren Eedens, the banjo Continue reading
One of the things I’ve been up to lately has been designing the GUI(Graphic User Interface) for the latest instrument by Production Voices which is hopefully going to be released in November.

I have been finding one thing in particular very frustrating though and I think it will continue to be a problem. It is probably the bane of a lot of sound designers: traffic.

Recently, Soundiron released a wonderful new instrument: Street Erhu.

I’ve got a new project that I’ve started working on. It’s pretty exciting!
It’s a live action short film by Greg Zajac and Simon Baker, the duo who brought you FISH.
The new short is called BAD ASS and I’m actually going to be playing a small part in it too. Acting debut!
I’ve just been throwing down a couple ideas to the animatic, but I hope to maybe share some of the demos that I’ve been doing soon.
