Bay Bryan's 'The Meadow' album launched this week!
I recorded bird and nature ambiences for a couple of the tracks back in 2021. It’s really great to be able to hear the full album now that it has finally been released into the wild! 🎶
Fatal Knockout - Animated Trailer
I worked on sound design & dialogue processing for Crab Studio’s Fatal Knockout Kickstarter launch trailer!
It was a fun project to contribute to and be a small part of Niall Crabtree’s team - great to be able to ‘knuckle down’ 👊💥 as it were and ‘crack’ on 🦴⚡️ with all the vatious details of the design!
The Kickstarter campaign for the board game is now live, so give it a look if you want to pledge and get your hands on a copy.
At the time of writing, the team are also running a Fatal Knockout Invitational Tournament via YouTube during launch week - the perfect way to get a feel for the gameplay before stepping in to the ring yourself!
Reel Talk - Showreel Review (28/10/21)
I had my sound design showreel reviewed by Power Up Audio’s Kevin Regamey on the Reel Talk livestream this week!
I’ve been watching Reel Talk for several years at this point, but I’ve always felt nervous about putting myself forward for review as the standard of work is incredibly high, and (like a lot of people) I suffer from imposter syndrome pretty badly. However, after putting it off for so long, I realised that this was an opportunity that I simply couldn’t afford to let pass me by, so I sent in an application back in August.
Well, I’m so glad I did, as this was an incredibly eye-opening and useful experience - one that I wish I had signed up for a lot earlier in my sound design journey! I received lots of really useful feedback on my sound design pieces, my video editing choices and my overall website layout, all of which I will be using to inform and improve my work going forward.
Huge thanks to Kevin for taking the time to review and critique my reel piece-by-piece, I’m massively grateful to have had this opportunity.
Also, a big thank you goes out to the lovely Reel Talk audience, who kindly offered plenty of really great suggestions about material selection/web design as well, which I intend to implement ASAP.
So, I’m feeling really inspired and ready to get to work on the next reel - time to go find some cool clips to re-design!

dBs Interview - Specialising in Sound Design
I was recently interviewed by Chris Mackin from Bristol’s dBs institute as part of an article about specialising in sound design.
You can read the piece here, where I talk briefly about discovering that sound design was actually a thing, and how finding out that the sound on TV programmes like Blue Planet would be added later in post (and not recorded live at the scene) was a big and inspiring revelation!
