This is a sound walk from the 14th of February 2021

It was created for the Sonic Art module in my second year at the RCS. 

Project Description:
This project aimed to encapsulate two walks at different times on the 14th of February 2021.
The narrator talks the listener through their walk around their home town at two different points in a day, one being a bright but chilly winters day and the other that evening once the snow starts to recede into water and ice.

The narrator focuses largely on water and birds as their topic of focus separate at first then closing with the two coming together.


Technical Process:

All assets were recorded on an iPhone 11 into Garageband, using a lightning to headphone adapter to allow monitoring without introducing a second microphone to the system as would be the case with using Bluetooth headphones/earphones.
These were then edited together in a Logic Pro 9 Session this was done by exporting out individual track from Garageband before transferring them to Logic Pro 9.

Editing in Logic Pro 9 allowed for finer editing than in Garageband as well as the application of more complex effects such as emulating binaural recordings which play a large part in this work.

I hope you enjoy the final result.

The Story of E. Rose

By
 This is a game project I worked on for Distilled Productions.  For this project I created audio assets for the game that the game designer could not create themself. These ranged from digital static sounds to notify players of errors to air lock venting sounds.  To achieve these, I recorded sounds and mixed them with EMF recordings and contact microphone recordings to create all the sounds I provided. I then edited these in Reaper to add the post processing the sounds needed to convey the size of the players locations. Play the game: https://distilledproductions.itch.io/the-story-of-e-rose

Train Sim World 5: ScotRail Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street Redesign

By
  This redesign is based upon the ScotRail eXpress: Edinburgh to Glasgow TSW5 DLC created by Rivet Games. With this project I aimed to gain a better understanding of the requirements of train recording. This was to attempt to gain some insight to the methods that are used to simulate the sound of the train in the game.  I went out and recorded two lengths of the route over the course of a day, taking time in each station to search for sounds on the outside of the train only audible when idle or when departing.  These were then edited to fit a pre-created video of gameplay. It was an interesting experience especially when trying to record clean audio on a commuter service! Software Used: Reaper Final Cut  OBS

Navigational Weather System

By
This project is my honours project, the culmination of my honours project literature research and time at Edinburgh Napier. Project Description: This project aims to alleviate the growing trend of over reliance on UI as the method for conveying information in games.  Inspirited greatly by the implementation of navigation in Ghost of Tsushima by Sucker Punch Production, 2020. Ghost of Tsushima game uses sound and animation in order to guide users to locations within the world. This is what I wish to build upon but remove the reliance on UI to guide the player. As while Ghost of Tsushima is not overly cluttered the majority of new open world game releases wish to convey so much information to the player the screen becomes cluttered.  Technical Description: The project is a Unity asset store project that has been integrated with Wwise. The weather system was created and then sound designed using the Wwise Soundseed air, woosh and grain plugins. This project allowed  me to le...
