Maybe one of the most important trend for the community of Sound this year is the phenomenon of the distribution of high quality audio contents via the Internet. We came to a new stage of evolution, starting from the well-known platforms SoundCloud and SoundSnap and going to projects like Tim Preeble’s HISS and a ROAR, Frank Bry’s The recordist, Chuck Russom FX and others (for a great list read: Independent SFX Libraries by Designing Sound).
Today we introduce Haptic Audio, a new project dedicated to provide royalty-free audio samples, kits, and instruments in (multi-format) 24 bit audio, founded by Jeremy Goldstein and Patrick Campbell, two sound designers and traditional musicians who decided to release their creative output using the web as the preferred platform of distribution.
We interviewed Jeremy and Patrick to know something more about this new project (you can watch the amazing video excerpt below), which recently created its SoundCloud channel and released the brand new Haptic04 libray on the Twisted Tools platform.
The Motion Graphics Festival 2010 showcases sound design, motion design, and interactive arts in six major cities across the US, and hosts screenings in over thirty theatres.
The call for entries accepts also works on sound effects & sound for film. These are the deadlines:
Tim Prebble is one of the most active sound professionals in the 2.0 era of Internet. Film sound designer and supervising sound editor living at Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand (the other part of the world for us, you know…), Tim created a lot of interesting web projects dedicated to the world of Sound, like the amazing blog Music of Sound.
Now it’s time for another great project: HISS and a ROAR, a new sound effects library for sound professionals. It’s the same old story in the world of social media: Tim and us are very lovely tweet-connected, so we soon discovered what was going in the air. We watched a very funny video anticipation called Vegetable Violence on the Vimeo universe and then…here we go: the exclusive interview with Tim about HISS and a ROAR, just few hours after its official launch.
