I have 12 sound design roles to fill over the next 7 months … so I’m calling on the power of Twitter to find me some amazing people. You don’t have to be uk based as the world has changed for the better so if you are interested in roles please message [email protected] #audio

This. So very much, this
Technical Sound Designer is probably the hottest gig in game audio right now..

Project Shasta by Adobe is normally meant for speech enhancement, but what if you give it a guitar recording instead? It'll try to convert the guitar to speech. It sounds like something music producers could experiment with. Listen:

In collaboration with cellist Sophia Bacelar, Technology and Applied Composition students were challenged to compose works for solo cello and electronics that reimagine pieces from the classical canon. Check out our album on soundcloud!

It was awesome to have sound designer and electronic musician @RichardDevine come talk to our students in a wonderful masterclass that covered topics all the way from modular to wavetable synthesis, to making sounds for cars.

[SFCM TAC @sfcmtac]

It was great to welcome back orchestrator, conductor, composer, and sworn enemy of redundant notation Tim Davies @debreved (Frozen 1&2 La La Land, Kendrick Lamar...), for our continuing series of one-on-one feedback sessions and a masterclass.

Drawing a Synthesizer in MIDI - Live! 🎹

The biggest challenge was creating the black keys - I had to get the timing of those notes just right, play them faster and faster and then reverse their direction. Hope you like the results! 😀

It was fantastic having composer, @theawfc president, and @joymusichouse CEO @cathjoymusic back for a day of one-on-one sessions and a masterclass for TAC students. Thanks for the time and priceless advice in music and business, and can't wait to have you back!

[Will Roget @WilbertRoget]

Such a great thread, thanks for putting this together Colin!

I'll also mention that Gordon gave perhaps my favorite (and most mindblowing) #GDC #gameaudio lecture of all time, talking about his interactive music innovations in the SSX franchise!

Recording In Progress!
TAC students have been getting those late nights in with some of their peers in SFCM's RJAM program, recording their compositions for a collaborative re-working of #TheGreatGatsby with @AquilaTheatre. Hear their scores tomorrow night at Hume Concert Hall!

[SFCM TAC @sfcmtac]

Congrats to all the composers who premiered adventurous new works in Studio G last night! Huge thanks to @greekchambermusic for the amazing performances and incredible collaboration. Brava! https://t.co/fLxvPy2Z9l

To cap off the week yesterday, we were honored to welcome the incomperable @Tinaguo for an inspiring and insightful day of one-on-one feedback sessions and masterclasses.
