• New Video(Apr 25/2008)
As mentioned a few months back, I had the oppotunity to collaborate with 4DZ once again. This time around I was contracted to do post-production on their concerts intro. No location sound was used only rerecorded and sound design material. Beat provided Quality. An excerpt of the video is available in the media section.


• IGDA Member (Mar 10/2008)
After meeting many members and hearing nothing but great things, I've just recently joined the International Game Developers Association , in order to gain additional knowledge of game development. With the advancement of technology it is important for every aspect of development to share a common voice.


• New 4Dz Project in the Works (Jan 25 /2008)
Montreal's own 4Dz has contacted me, requesting sound design for an upcoming project. The details cannot be discussed, but I assure you it's going to be HUGH!! I hope to have a sample in the Media page by March.


• Recording Ambiences (Dec 1 / 2007)
One of my favourite hobbies is recording audio. Creating ambiences from live environments and instruments is always a blast.

The mod i'm currently working on calls for some eerie environments and obscure tones. That said, I needed to record a Grand piano's, grandiose sound. Plucking on the low strings (under the cabinet) allowed for some dark textures and quicker manoeuvring in the high register sends, chills down the spin. Check out the pics of the session and download a high res audio excerpt!!

• Winter 9: Officially complete (Oct 20/ 2007)
The winter 9 webpage is now accessible. You can view the animation in both high and low resolution .mov. Also included is a full credit listing. Job well done to everyone who helped create this animation.

• Web Makeover! (Oct 1/ 2007)
What a better way to start off fall with a fresh new look. Well here it is: the new design. The media page has been updated with a bunch of new video projects, recordings and some compositions. A new background page containing my bio and a links page to shoot out people and sites I respect. More to come!

• Necros
Wins! (Sept 8 / 2007)
Congrates to Justin for his hard work and dedication; and also the team that participated to help Necros win the Foundation De Sève Undergraduate Award in film animation. I had the opportunity to lead the sound design and write the original music for the project. Hopefully we can all work together again, to make another amazing film.


• Working on a MOD. (Aug 19 / 2007)
I'm officially the newest member of he Decloak: Source Mod team. I will be heading as the Audio lead. Best part of all I get to work within the Half-Life 2 SDK, which has a strong audio engine!


• New Animation project. (Jun 1 / 2007)
Director, Producer, Animator, D.Jeevan recently got into contact with me after seeing my work on the short Necros. I will be in charge of all the audio for the animation entitled Winter 9. The art is looking great and i'm really anxious to get cracking with the project.


• Job @ Wave Generation! (May 1 / 2007)
After working for Wave Gen part-time for a year and a half, I will begin working as a full-time employee next week. Still holding the elegant title of Sound Designer, my tasks tend to vary from creating original compositions, engineering recording sessions and general tech & workstation up-keeping. The vibe is still great and the projects are always a challenge. Let the good times roll!
