Yesterday I went to the cinema. Not a startling insight and something I’m sure you do all the time too. But, this was a very different cinematic experience for me, as it was the first time I saw a film that I had some involvement in. At the end of last year, the hugely talented [...]

Audio production review site, Sounds and Gear, has given my NI Massive soundset Massive Darkscore II an amazing review. In a fifteen minute video review, the self-titled Saint Joe gave MDII a cool 4.5 out of 5. I’m pretty chuffed with the review and it’s great to see Joe clearly enjoying using the patches. Of [...]

My latest soundset for NI Massive, Massive Stratosphere, is now on sale. This soundset is quite a bit different from the previous one, which was aimed at atmospheric dubstep and ambient, and also film scoring (sales of which have gone quite well).
