For @notboring !Camera, I built my longest haptic sequence. A synced set of pulses and swells that give physicality to both the camera coming together and the music.
I've been learning some basic animation as a way of visualising audio design processes -
For the @notboring Camera I referenced a Polaroid, with the snap and print full of anticipation for how a photo might turn out.
But I wanted to bring another emotion to the moment — not overly happy or sad, but a sense that there’s something meaningful about taking this photo.

@thomas_sound's lovely sound design is a big part of what makes the Tolans feel so alive - fun short video on his creative process:
For @tolanworld I created a “thinking” sound to help bridge the gap between speaking to your Tolan and your Tolan responding. I wanted it to feel distinct from a Tolan’s speaking voice, but still part of their character — like a soft alien murmur or hum.

Excited to share my new site with recent projects across apps, games, animation + film.
Open for new collaborations over the coming months — give me a shout! 🎶

I've been working on sound and haptics (and even some camera customising work tunes) for this joyful app for a while now with @notboring, great to see it out there and how people are using it 📸
Introducing… (Not Boring) Camera
3 years, 100+ prototypes, and wild graphics tech to make our perfect camera. Only to say… forget perfection. Just have fun and capture life’s beautiful chaos. Hope you love it as much as we do—thumbprints and all 🖤

The official soundtrack of Botany Manor by @thomas_sound is releasing on August 15th on Steam, Bandcamp and Spotify! 🎻
You'll be able to purchase seperately or as a bundle as part of the Wholesome Games Steam sale. You can wishlist the soundtrack below 👇
One of my favourite, most decadently layered sounds I've ever made. From the @notboring !Habits apps.
Sound design requires layering.
The !Habits checkmark sound is 10 sounds layered together each contributing a different component to the overall sound—build, punctuation, finish.

I worked with @asallen on this article exploring the sound of software, showing some of the audio tricks used in our @notboring projects. Ive always struggled with how best to show practices in sound design so was blown away by these clips Andy made to demo some of my sounds.
The Sound of Software
Part IV of my Serious Play series on how to steal from video games to build more inspired software.

In less than a week, on the 21st March @CambsCC will vote on whether to DESTROY its largest traditional orchard. A HABITAT OF PRINCIPAL IMPORTANCE, a 1000 trees, for a £200m tarmac road for buses. A loss @greatercambs claim can be “lessened to non-significant” in 30 years by “mitigation”, it cannot. Media, shine a light on those who have a vote so that we,
and the generations behind us, who will have to pay for their decision, can bear witness 🌳🚌❌🐝

Apple trees benefit all sorts of wildlife, but traditional orchards are now rare in the UK – around two thirds have been lost since 1960. So please plant apple trees to help bats, birds, butterflies and bees!
