X-Men Destiny is Released

I recently completed four months of production on the Activision/Marvel game X-Men Destiny, which was released on September 27. I handled over an hour of cinematic sound design and 5.1 mixing, for both the Xbox 360/PS3 and Wii versions of the game. It’s been a real pleasure to come back to the Marvel Universe after sound designing X-Men The Official Game back in 2005, and to see many beloved characters, as well as some new faces. Silicon Knights is the developer of this game, and it’s been great to work with them as well. To check out a sample of my work on the game, go watch my demo reel.

Electronic Arts Releases Music Construction Set 11

EA has released Music Construction Set 11, the latest version of their venerable program Deluxe Music Construction Set. I was lucky enough to do all the music recording, sound design, and audio production for the project. I started working on it in the Summer of 2010, and have meticulously recorded brand new sample sets of electric guitars, basses, and acoustic drums, as well as interactive song production. If you have an old Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar controller sitting in your closet, plug it in to your PC, download the software, and prepare to be rocked by a new interactive music experience!

A Beloved Book is a Smash Hit in the App Store!

One of the greatest children’s books ever is now available in interactive form on the Apple iPad. Sesame Street’s The Monster at the end of this Book has just hit the app store, and is a faithful recreation of the original book that we loved as a kid, but updated with interactivity, wacky animation and sound effects. I did all the audio production for the app, and it was a blast – especially working with the dialog of Eric Jacobson, who plays Grover on the show. If you have small children at home, this app is sure to please.

As of January 24, Monster has the distinction of being number 5 in paid apps and number 1 in books in the app store!

Conspiracy Now Shipping for Playstation Home
