Two fun projects I worked on last year have been released recently.
Firstly, The Rip, an action thriller film starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, is now on Netflix. Had a great time designing sounds for Clinton Shorter for that one.

Feeling I would like to pivot to a career that mainly involves sitting under trees with a notebook and pen.
What is this career?
Starving poet?

Reading an interview in a magazine with an electronic artist turned film composer who is, quite rightly, considered something of a sonic/sound design genius.
But, also feeling some pride because I know he is a customer of mine. And therefore, seeks out my sound design for his work too!

This men’s slalom’s a bit of a disaster. Bunch if favourites have crashed out as the weather conditions have turned to a blizzard.
The first guy who went down, in clear conditions, is way ahead of the pack.

Beneath Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, an overlooked retail strip has been reborn as a bicycle parking facility and public passage connecting users to the S-Bahn station. Modest in scale but rich in possibilities, it integrates seamlessly into the revitalised entertainment, commercial and office centre.🧵

The dual moguls is silly.
The idea that the skier who finishes first might not win the race, because there's also judging points for jumps...
Nah, not for me.

I'm usually a bit suspicious about sports that require judges to decide who wins (boxing, figure skating, etc.) but...
Have absolutely loved the half-pipe and big air competitions at this Olympics. I can just switch my brain off and enjoy the magnificence of their bravery and camaraderie.

Haha, Jesus, this game.
Obvious handball in the area not given as a penalty and then we concede from the free-kick.
Lack of VAR’s given us so many lifelines in this game! And we’re determined not to take advantage of it.
