thanks to all who came out this weekend to the milwaukee ave arts fest - it was a rousing success, and we at the ‘per second’ crew were thrilled to have such a wonderful crowd scoping out our multichannel, interactive audio-video work! we hope to be back out and about soon, so check back regularly for updates on upcoming showings.. but for now, feast your eyes on a small photo gallery from this past exhibition.

i’ve just completed the sound design and mix for a new comedic short entitled ‘love in bulk’, starring aris alvarado (gilmore girls, head case) and rakefet abergel. the film follows the story of cliff and jane, two clumsy shoppers at a warehouse club who experience the entire cycle of a relationship during a single, momentous outing. look for it at a festival near you!

oh hi there.. it’s been a while, eh? that’s what happens when things get busy!

here’s an update on what’s been done since the last update:

i completed the sound design, edit and mix for another segment in the awesome ‘not lost in translation’ language learning series from petrol records - english to japanese. it is available now on itunes.

i completed the sound design and mix for the feature film ‘one more round’, by director roberto estrella. the film follows the story of vincent, a down and out laborer who loses everything, only to find a rebirth inside the steel octagon of professional mixed martial arts. starring award-winning actor carlos valencia and featuring world-renowned fighters royce gracie and fernando soluco. the film is due to be released by maya entertainment later this year. if you’re an MMA fan, don’t miss it!

i contributed some field recordings for an installation in tennessee.

i completed a package of cinematic sound design elements for trailers and films. robotic pulses, scary vocal rises and FX, odd rhythmic beats and more! they are available now through the wonderful catalogs at songs to your eyes.

and here’s a little taste of what to expect in the future:

i have signed on to provide the sound design and mix for the upcoming documentary on one of the most amazing people to ever walk the planet - william s burroughs. ‘william s burroughs - a man within’ follows the life and work of this icon of the beat generation. featuring interviews and anecdotes by some of his closest friends and collaborators, this is one film not to be missed. i’ll provide more updates as we get closer to the finish line!

i am working on a audio/video installation which will be on display during the milwaukee ave arts fest here in chicago. i don’t want to give anything away, so you’ll just have to come out and see/hear it for yourself

i am proud to announce that as of march 15th, i will be moving the studio to a brand new facility and officially joining the music garage community!

i’m very excited to be a part of the mg family - taking residence alongside chicago bigwigs like full motion recording and cpe sound, as well as a host of the windy city’s best artists.

pictures and more detailed information will be posted as soon as the transition is complete.

despite the move, however, work continues.. check back soon for updates regarding a new commercial campaign and a killer sound design library lovingly crafted to solve all your cinematic trailer needs.

cheers!

i have completed the sound design and mix on the latest in petrol records’ top-rated ‘not lost in translation’ series of instructional audiobooks. for all you native german speakers out there, this installment will guide you through some of the most important phrases in the land of berets and baguettes (aka, france).

if you travel, definitely check these out - they are extremely useful and very fun!

‘not lost in translation - german to french’ should be available on itunes and the petrol exotic website in the coming days.

happy new year! i’ve been hard at work getting things in place for a whole bunch of new projects for 2009. a new mixed media experiment, dvd reel, collaborative installation, weekly download series and other goodies.

i’ll have more information up here soon, so keep your eyes and ears at the ready.

two fantastic children’s titles for which i did the audio design and implementation are now available:

dora the explorer: dora saves the snow princess (wii/ps2)
go, diego, go! the great dinosaur rescue (wii/ps2)
