@shaunlabrie @CompulsionGames @trexbeverly That’s pretty daring!

I hired a guide to teach me gator safety. He said, “Rule #1, they may look cuddly but they ain’t your friend. Do not play with these ugly puppies.”

Rule #2 was “Have fun! The swamps great!” 😜

[Andy Martin's Nature Sounds @NWSoundscapes]

@shaunlabrie @CompulsionGames @trexbeverly I lost count, actually. There were always eyes peering out from the water, day and night.😬 Extra fun was when they would pop up near microphones while recording (note: raw audio, not representative of in-game sound):

To capture the authentic nature sounds of our various regions, we sent field recordists Andy Martin (@NWSoundscapes) and Thomas Rex Beverly (@trexbeverly) into the forests, mountains, hills, and swamps to record the animals, insects, and ambient sounds of the Southern wilderness!

@ChrisATrevino @TheTonebenders The only way it could've been weirder is if I was jack Menhorn

I normally avoid making specific gear recommendations, but this is an excellent exception. https://t.co/Uh5blaPCrG

@TimNielsen Ann was the first person I ever met who truly exemplified awe about sound and nature. I’ll never forget the love she exuded of the animals she recorded.

[Andy Martin's Nature Sounds @NWSoundscapes]

@GiganticCranium @CompulsionGames Thanks, Mac! From the little I’ve heard, it definitely will. They have passionate and super creative team up there.

[Andy Martin's Nature Sounds @NWSoundscapes]

Excited to say that I was able to contribute to @CompulsionGames ' #SouthOfMidnight by being present in deep swamplands of Louisiana throughout 2022, recording ambiences, insects, frogs, birds and more. Really looking forward to hearing it all come together in 2025!

I'll be rolling out a series of articles throughout the summer discussing the experience, from heat and humidity to cicadas and katydids, Anhinga to Alligators, and one long feverish week of Covid while isolated in the Atchafalaya Basin. Pictures! Sounds! Words!
