Fire Place

The house boiler has broken, so we've had to make use of the Fire Place to keep warm.

I took the opportunity to capture the sound and put together a video using from photographs.

Hope you enjoy.

Your Best Sound of 2011.

I've opened up my annual "Your Best Sound Of..." thread on Social Sound Design. You can view it here: http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/11651/your-best-sound-of-2011.

You can submit any sounds you have recorded, synthesised or composed. Sound Effects, Music, Speech or Synth is welcome.

I'm looking forward to seeing what submissions we receive this year. Since last year was a great success!

I'll make a point of including a blog entry of my favorite submissions.

Forest Bird Chorus

As the morning sun is creeping through the trees, you can hear a variety of different species of English birds.



You can purchase an MP3 version of this track for £1.50.

During 2010 I got up early one morning and headed to a nearby Woodland to capture the dawn chorus.



I used this recording to gather information during some research I am continuing to do. For more information on leaving feedback please click here.

Sounds For Earth

I have just compiled a small collection of ambience and nature recordings that I have made over the past couple of years and made them available to buy for listening to.

The first release of sounds cost just £1.50 each.

The Sound Recordings currently available can be found below:

Yacht passing by the boat yard

During summer 2010, I was collecting sounds and ambiences from around Rye, East Sussex, UK.

Because Rye is a Cinque Port town and famous for its fishing community,  I spent a large portion of this time at Rye Harbor.

Here is a sample of one of my favourite recordings from the project.

Listen to the cables rattling against the masts in the boatyard, the people looking forward to enjoying their day on the passing yacht, the calling of sea birds and the waves of the wake splashing against the shore.

Choccy - July 2011

During July I did some more work on series 2 of the Ob-Doc television show Choccy Woccy Doo Dah.

It's a great show to work on. All the characters are great fun to work with and the rest of the crew are hard working and professional.

During the month I we got to meet some great people, but I'm not going to spoil anything for you though.

The 2nd series is due to go out in October on the UKTV Good Food channel in October.

Looking In - Dr Voice

Back at the end of January I joined the LookingIn.co.uk Team to produce a series of location interviews. I worked on this project as location sound recordist.

There are still a few post-production tweaks to be made to both video and audio. But I have been given permission to give you guys a sneak preview of our first interview.
