Started working on travelogue’s from recordings made in various cities. First single is out on Bandcamp. Berlin spent a century as the epicentre of global geopolitical trauma, the simple sounds of a street being renewed carry a quiet sense of accomplishment, even beauty. #fieldrrcording #ambient

"... Walking Along the Outlines - Matthew Florianz explores memory, sound design, and the discovery of music through intuition ..." Thank you Michael Foster for your well researched and thoughtful questions about my work. Article: www.ambientvisions.com/florianz.htm #ambientmusic #creativity
Moments like these are all the more precious because none of it is scripted. Spend almost two months mixing JWE:3 and you can hear just what a great job the team with the sounddesign! www.reddit.com/r/jurassicwo...

It's great to be among the wonderful folks at @frontierdev.bsky.social and making games together. Planet Zoo 2's animals have taken a generational leap forwards (just look at the visuals!) and so too has the #gameaudio authoring pipeline. It's really cool tech, and we'll share more soon!

I really enjoyed engaging with the thoughtful questions ansked about my process and motivations. Was a pleasure! #ambient #creative #process #music
Ambient Visions@ambientvisions.bsky.social · 2mo agowww.ambientvisions.com/florianz.htm In the following conversation, Matthew Florianz discusses the evolution of his creative process, the influence of game audio on his work, the role of randomness and intuition in composition, and his ongoing fascination with sound as a vehicle for imagination.
www.ambientvisions.com/05162026.htm If you’ve followed Jeff Pearce’s work over the years, this release feels like another beautifully realized chapter in a long and thoughtful career. For listeners discovering his music for the first time, Skyward may be one of the strongest introductions possible.
I miss wandering around this place, the characters and the story. Luckily the @wobblersound.bsky.social soundtrack send me back there.
When sound design leans into tonality, the soundscape briefly refracts into composition. It is the space where I feel most at home. The change in perspective comes from directing sound design toward either more abstract or more concrete soundscapes. matthewflorianz.bandcamp.com/track/bliste...

“Funicular Prism” covers a turbulent period, reflected in raw processing and experimental #sounddesign. After my primal creative reaction had settled; The mirror of that moment has shaped into an impression of it. matthewflorianz.bandcamp.com/album/funicu... #ambient #music #soundscapes #spatial

Surprised this still exists (teletekst-data.nos.nl/webplus?p=10...). This used to be broadcast in TV signals (see top of b&w image) and accessible via the TV remote. The simplicity and straightforward language used are calming even if it felt slow back then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext

Every audiophile needs to invest in an “umschalter 2000” from @whiteseastudio and save themselves a ton of money. Then again one could also buy a titanium oxygen-free polarised quantum audio cable instead. To really make the soundstage shine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRFY...

For #gameaudio and #sounddesign the x/y pad in Hourglass was a brilliant sculpting tool. More granular vst's exist today, yet Hourglass is still useful for experiments, looping textures and source creation like shown below. In-depth look: youtu.be/QMUyM7h02_A More examples: youtu.be/dKjuteP8A9U
Hello, Halo my old friend. Legendary co-op, it is still hard work and fun. Like it’s brutalist inspired architecture, enemies are readable and reactive, allowing for planned strategies and creativity. Still playable thanks to the championing efforts for backwards compatibility at @xbox.com .
Recommendation: Virtuoso Piano, Electronics and sometimes using her voice to to sing. #haniarani is a mesmerising artist and there's no better introduction than her live performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFRd...

Cannot stop listening to this incredible song by @robinkester.com - what a dream. Absolutely brilliant are those expressive little jewels of instrumentation and that slightly detuned synth swimming in and out of the reverb. What a voice too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLxm...

This looks close to how I remember seeing these films (bright as the sun) and the sound design is also so bold and in your face - the music has that analogue wobble to it. Watching evokes a strong emotional reaction (of nostalgia) too. An amazing achievement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTPU...
