The new title Tanktastic! from Ouch Games,  is now finished and will soon be up for Xbox360 users to get. The sound and music assets in the game were designed by me and I have also created the website for Ouch Games which will be up soon. I’ll get back to you on that soon.

I have invested in two fine pieces of art; The Roland Juno-106 and the Moog Voyager Old School. They make that analogue sound that is so sweet to my ears, and should help me in the task of making music and sounds in the future. Very happy indeed!

Ok, so I’m taking this class in International Game Studies and I should write about what I’m expecting to gain from this. First and foremost I’m expecting to gain further knowledge within the realms of game design both for my own interest and also to get better in communicating with people in other roles within a game team. As I am a music and sound guy to start with there are several areas where I need to add to my knowledge base.

Analyzing games give me a good insight in the different parts that make up a game, good or bad. It also gives me tools to figure out the best ways to fit audio and music into the games I will be working on in  the future. To work on designing games have given me a new push in the direction that this also might be a possible future job for me.

I’ve now updated my music sites on Myspace, Ubetoo and ReverbNation with new and old music and a better way to showcase some of my music. More songs will come up at a later stage as I’m checking through my back catalog

I have a brand new tune out of the oven tonight. Freshly baked for your listening pleasure

Hipp hipp…. We won the Best Innovation category in the Swedish Game Awards -09 that was held yesterday in Stockholm.

I have finished a remix of Shannon Hurley’s song Matter Of Time. You can read more about Shannon on her MySpace or at ccMixter.org. I think she’s got a really nice voice and deserves to reach out to more listeners. Enjoy!

Hear Here!

The remix was done yesternight between 21:something-03:30 and the final touch was made tonight, just a few changes and some low budget mastering trix. It consists of a completely new set of “instruments” and sounds behind the lead vocals of Shannon. No backing vocals where mixed in, didn’t think it was needed. When I listen to it now afterwards I can find hints of Jon & Vangelis Find My Way Home cross faded with Madonna.

OK, I’m really sorry for you who tried to listen to the remix. There where an error in the URL, that has been corrected now! Again really sorry, guys!

Kwl!

Our entry in the Swedish Game Awards – Carpet Wrestling – has been nominated in the Best Innovation Category. Which is pretty cool. The award ceremony is this saturday in Stockholm and I hope I have the cash to pay for the trip by then. (Stupid Swedish railways – SJ, they want people to take the train, but they over charge, so not even as a student you have cheap ticket prices, Grrrrrrr)
