Happy 2017! Hope you've all had a good break over the holidays I've just uploaded a second collection of sounds from my latest Medikidz comission. https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/mkz-phase-1-comics-soundreel-2 I'm currently looking for new jobs to start of the new year, so please get in touch if you are interested in my services!
I hope everyone has had a productive start to the year! I've been busy back in the studio, making a variety sounds for several of my projects. This is the third and final collection of sounds from my latest Medikidz commission. https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/mkz-phase-1-comics-soundreel-3

It's been a while since I posted! I've been having a very busy past couple of months, and the commissions have been under NDA. So I'm limited in what I can show you at the moment. However, I have uploaded a new 'audio mockup', to my soundcloud. I tried something a little different with this upload. I put together a group of sounds I've made, and created an imaginary game 'scene'. I wanted to show how my sounds fit together when put into the often eclectic in-game environment. Starting slowly with a few transitions and footsteps, it evolves into a full shootout with lots of sounds all playing at once. https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/sci-fi-scene
I've just uploaded another Medikidz SFX sample. All sounds created as part of a new project I'm working on with them. Music to follow! https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/mkz-fractures-sfx
TWO new music tracks this week! Both written for my latest Medikidz project. Both tunes are inspired by classic saturday morning cartoons, e.g. power rangers. Medikidz To The Rescue!: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/medikidz-to-the-rescue Medikidz In Danger!: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/medikidz-danger
I've uploaded something slightly different than usual this week. I've been making some 'cave ambience' sounds for Infinity PBR. So I decided to put together a few of these to make an immersive first-person perspective, dungeon crawling audio 'scene'. Wear headphones for greater impact! https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/cavewalk
