Last month I created the music and sound design for a commercial by Crooked Line. It’s an infographics video with the great artwork and style that we know from crookedline. Crooked Line was asked to create a video explaining the new tax collection and tax management system used by the municipality of the city of Rotterdam. Client: Gemeente Belastingen Rotterdam (GBR) Commisioned by: MCR...
read moreMulti Touch & Music pt 2
So, multitouch is finally maturing as a controller. Way back, in 2009 I wrote an article about it (which sadly enough is mentioned as a source on Wikipedia’s main multitouch page, showing the lack of interest for the subject so far, since I am far from an expert in this field to say the least!). Windows never really pushed any touch stuff like they innitially proposed with WIN7, and seem to claim this will all change in WIN8. It became deadly silent as only a handful of multitouch products came to the consumer market running on...

I did a collaboration with Gerrit Elbrink and Uwe Schweer at the end of 2011. The video got featured on the vimeo homepage and was selected to be featured on the popular music festival SXSW.
read moreFPS Control – Shellshock
Last year I worked on a nice project where I created an exclusive kit of sounds for a game engine demo game called Shellshock. ShellShock is the first demo created with FPS Control. Not only is the entire setup open to use, change, edit and modify, it’s also a great game! In ShellShock, you enter an abandoned powerplant and find out a way to escape. Weapons include the M9 Beretta and M16 assault rifle. The demo is a perfect example of how FPS Control works, and how to use the various tools to create a story driven game. I made all the...

Hello all, and let me start by wishing you all a happy holidays and best wishes for 2012. A little blurp about my upcoming projects and some reflections about this past year. This year was a busy one! Focus was on synthesis and SFX & sampling for my upcoming Audiomotif projects (more on that later). I’ve yet again worked so many great people, truly inspiring!. Music also took a more important role, after being in the background for some time. 2012: Sample libs, VST’s and Music Oskilator (my collab with Bart Knol) will be...

read moreMore free VST GUI knobs – Freebie Pack Vol 2
Wrapping up and archiving all the GUI design related files I decided to add a last batch of knobman files on the website. First credits where credits are due; Theordor Kreuger shared some inspiring knobs utilizing various aspects of knobmaker like animated value displays and an animated glowing index ring. And KVR’s Knobman/Skinman thread. The knobs are loosely based on the design by U-he (Uhbik). Kind of reminiscent of a vault dial. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! (Freely usable, do not distribute or sell as is) Download...
read moreFree VST UI knobs and sliders for knobman (& Targa)
Time for knobs! free ones as a matter of fact. They can be used in VST’s, or programs that let you script your own interface (Max MSP, Reaktor etc). In the free zip you’ll find different sizes of knobs and and a slider. The formats are Targa and knobmans .knob files. Knobman is a nice free, and easy to use program designed for making stitched images and comes with all the right tools to make a semi realistic knob. There are excellent knobs by a japanese Knobman user called AZ (Moog to 303 style knobs). The knobs I made are a...
