Hey all! I'm doing a quick study about how people use metaphors to describe sound. If you can spare 5-10 minutes, please take my survey! carletonu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Thank you! #sounddesign

Sonic Metaphors Survey

This study explores how people imagine the future of sound. Because sound is fleeting and difficult to describe directly, we often use metaphors—comparing a sound to a material, a natural phenomenon, ...

so GameSoundCon, that's coming up soon. I'll be speaking on 2 round tables this year. Hope to see some of you there.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 7d

thanks! good to know if I get this off the ground and do a proper installation. a button in a room with a bunch of speakers would be real cool.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 7d

as a first project, that's all I need. a way/button for someone to start the event and listen.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 7d

but I need a game engine to hold it. I want to end up with an "game" people can run that's just one button that sets off an audio event from an fmod project. how hard would this be to do with godot? is there a tutorial project that would give me that?

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 7d

so I want to do an art sound project. I've seen some great installations lately. now I don't have the means/connections to make an installation (at least not yet) but as a start I'd like to do a software thing. fairly obviously I'm pretty good with Fmod and can create something within that.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 8d

and that marks the end of this "season". I'm going to take a bit of a break and come back in 2026 with more episodes. At the moment I'm thinking each year will be a 9 episode season. I'm already lining up more guests and planning in person interviews at GameSoundCon.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 8d

thanks! it was the worst flu I have ever had. hopefully I never have that again :)

who do I know (well or vaguely) that will be at Gamesoundcon that might want to do an interview/be a guest on Beards, Cats, And Indie Game audio?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 14d

this is some professional level procrastination right here.

I had the flu to end all flues last month so I missed getting my podcast out. it's coming out this month and just realized I losing a bunch of days to edit it for the holiday. instead of working ahead tonight I'm just adding more minutes I have to edit each day to my shorter number of days I have.

#gameaudio and #godot friends,

presenting you an Audio Debug View for Godot

Did a pretty good talk last night @fullindie.bsky.social Reinforcing Your Game Audio - Pro Wrestling Style.
was fun. couldn't see my slide notes so had to run blind. forgot a couple things. but was good. possibly was just an excuse to talk about wrestling :)

Matthew M @mattesque.bsky.social · 20d

I finally got around to pulling my music off of Spotify (and getting alternatives in place for kids to listen with)

If you want to support my music it's still on bandcamp (and some other services until I decide if i move from soundrop)
