old Star Wars was kinda great

Although I don’t have a custom FYC jpeg for it, HBO Max (that’s almost their name agaaaain) would love for YOU to consider 100 Foot Wave for Best Sound Editing (nonfiction/reality). Sure there’s a whole lot of waves that go “boom,” but it’s about HOW they go boom, right

"Mo" Season 2 is wild, vital, stylized storytelling, and it's cool that Netflix thought my sound editing is worth YOUR consideration! 😜

Wasn't able to score a Switch 2, so I told the kids we can get one later, and they were fine with the reasoning. Another plus, they're gaming a bit too much now anyways, so gives us time to adjust their task/game balance. My dad texts immediately after, "hi I got the kids a Switch 2" 🤪

Following up Andor by rereading the OG spin-off novel. A few pages in, it’s fun having the universe contract down to just the first movie — Luke’s father is very dead, Vader is just a “henchman,” and Luke DEFINITELY wants to fuck Leia

I'm one of the guests on the new episode of "The Process with Jude Brewer," with my interview being turned into part of a wonderful essay and exploration of film history, creativity, and "what the heck is life anyway" open.spotify.com/episode/60U7...

Our next meetup is on June 14th at the Arts District Brewing Company from 2pm-6pm. This is a part of Air Wiggles' Air Con 2025. We have an event page set up, come by! www.airwiggles.com/c/live-event...

So I’m learning guitar with my kid, which means I’m terrible, but the fun thing about having guitarist friends is they lend you stuff. So I now have both a 7 string and 8 string Ibanez and it makes me look WAY more competent and genre niche than I really am, which amuses me

To me there's something funny about pre-purchasing Doom so I can have it installed in advance, only to get smacked with "unpacking files" the moment I'm ready to actually try it. I feel like every culture must have a folksy saying that captures this exact vibe

Sad that this company ELVTR is posting ads like this on Facebook and other places. This person does trailers, he is not the sound designer 'behind' any of these projects. So sad and disrespectful and deceptive. I hope people do not support them @elvtrcom.

I'll be speaking on a panel at #AirCon25, which is a free online audio production conference June 7-14 at airwiggles.com/aircon! Talks are recorded and available later for free as well. Unlike the picture, I will probably not be wearing a tie as I stare into my phone camera via Zoom

The Midnight Walk makes really neat use of 3D scanning - pairing the uncanny feel of scanned objects with a claymation aesthetic is an excellent and coherent art-meets-technology vibe. Also some fun binaural sound use!

Morning coffee kicked in during the latter half of Andor S2 Episode 6, and now I'm feeling very wired and don't think I'll be blinking at all today thank you very much

If you’re in LA and wanna catch Revenge of the Sith in Atmos with a Matthew Wood Q&A this Sunday, MPSE has opened the event up to non-members too! mpse.org/event-6138445

I contributed sound design to some of the key sequences in this film, about nursing school students in the aftermath of the Nagasaki bombing. Getting a theatrical release in Japan this summer, and maybe it'll be available elsewhere later! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Evn...

Playing the Mad Max videogame, and remembered that I did post sound on a video for it 9 years ago, in the era of the "YouTube promo short." Though I had Fury Road in my brain at the time, having played the actual game now, I'm pretty happy with my work 😂https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDG-l5Y9O64

Showed up early to the @tonebenderspodcast.bsky.social Los Angeles sound design meetup to have a casual work conversation, and was photographed by MPSE Wavelength sitting at a tiny table being antisocial 😂

A friend sent me this, and why is it just the Eric Serra GoldenEye soundtrack www.youtube.com/shorts/0T2y8...

I don’t know my Pokemon very well. I was told “Mimikyu” and I wanted to confirm I knew the right one, but the best my brain could do was “you mean Klansmen Pikachu?” 🫠

"We're All Gonna Die," a heartfelt and hilarious post-cataclysmic road trip movie I sound supervised, is doing a limited independent theater release starting March 7th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoYV...

Good to see I was really weird fourteen years ago

Finding someone who is unfamiliar with the Martin Shkreli / Wu Tang album thing is a rare kind of conversational excitement

Caught “Green and Gold” in theaters and saw my name roll by at the end! So many of my projects end up on streaming these days, and while that’s great, it was a nice “old school” throwback to go buy a ticket and see something I contributed to on a big screen.

Mo Season 2 is out on Netflix today! I'm very proud to have contributed to this story, which became more topical during post - Palestine and the Mexican border feature heavily. It's a story about enduring the worst (with plenty of laughs) and I'm relieved it's out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vl...

Hey, friends. I know the world is ablaze, and my problems are minor, but I need to take a chance. I love making music for games. 2023-2024 saw 5 projects I was working on get cancelled, and their studios shut down, and I haven't written a note since June.* Got any games that need music? #gameaudio

Kiddo tries out the Death Star trench run, despecialized edition

I needed a notepad, and stumbled across my storyboards and lyrics for the RocketJump Film School “Sound Gun” short

I was the sound effects editor (effects, BG's, foley editing) on "Mo" Season 2, coming out 1/30 on Netflix! It's an absolute juggernaut, a hilarious and heartbreaking story about Palestinian diaspora, adopted culture, and what it means to belong www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vl...

Just got the two loud BZZZT BZZZT BWEEEE evacuation texts; the first saying "PANIC TIME" and then "oops sorry was texting drunk; disregard." Is this funny? I'm stressed on too many levels to tell anymore

"Oh no, there's a new song on the karaoke machine, will somebody please sing it" is the most me-coded side mission I've ever encountered in my life (Like A Dragon Gaiden)

I sound designed "Don't Die," about Bryan Johnson, the "reverse aging vampire guy"! It explores his personal life, and the pros and cons of non-scientific medical experimentation, with input from his family, supporters, skeptics, and detractors. Just came out today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf9e...
