Blipsounds Monthly Sound Design Competition

Every month the guys over at Blipsounds give Sound Designers from all around the world a challenge to see if they can replicate the sounds from a video game from a limited source. These challenges could range from only a select number of sounds to only using synthesizers or only using recorded mouth sounds. Here are my entries for this competition below. 

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Theatre performance with the HumDrum Theatre Company

Sound Designer and Sound Operator

HumDrum put on a fantastic performance of Douglas Adams’s famous Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. As this is a sci fi story with plenty going on there were a lot of sound cues to cover from time machines to a horse in a bathroom. All sounds were designed within Reaper and the show was run using QLab 2.

Below are some animations that I designed the sound for that appeared in the show (animations by Darren Gilmore)

Dracula

Theatre performance with the HumDrum Company

Sound Designer and Sound Operator

HumDrum put on a performance of Dracula which had a lot of atmospheric and eerie sound design to it. It also required some vocal recordings which needed to be processed to add to the haunting nature of the show. The show was run with QLab 2

One Man Two Guvnors

Theatre performance with the HumDrum Theatre Company

Sound Operator

HumDrum required a hand when it came to the operation of the show as the Sound Designer could not make the show. The show was run with QLab 2
