Creaking Fence

A processed recording of a creaking fence. A good few days last week there were no aircraft flying which meant a good opportunity to record in the backyard.

This recording last about eighteen minutes. My intended target, the fence, lost out to repeated calls of an ice cream van. Exploring the sound a bit with some filters brought out a very eerie, ethereal feel to the plaintive calls of the speaker.

Composing for games

Not my usual line of things but a friend of mine who develops online games asked me to develop a few sound files for some game screens for something he was working on.

It was a screen based brick game, short playing time, repetitive and above all very, very additive.

Some rules I set: must be about a minute long, must compress into 1mb mp3 without losing definition, must be loopable

So here are the first 5, 1 minute long, tracks I came up with. The game has 12 screens, so I’m going to be a bit busy (as well as trying to remain original) to do the rest.

Track 1: This is used as the first screen track, also for the menu
