It's official now, my time at ZA/UM is ending soon. I will take some time off after I leave, but I'm looking for new opportunities, preferably freelance for now. So if anyone is looking for tech sound design support or just sound design in general, let me know!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to announce that I'm launching Nirmātā, an independent game audio studio offering outsourced audio direction, sound design, implementation, consulting and production to AA and indie teams. nirmatastudio.com

And yess, after a much needed break, I’m finally back! 🧡 Still looking for remote gigs and freelance work, (I would be open to in house in Madrid). I do game audio design, implementation, and I'll even sing you a few songs if you want. I've also got some things cooking… SOON! 👀

As part of my work on sound heritage, I'm running a short survey on sounds (not music) that are important personally/culturally to people from different parts of the world. Please do help if you can 🙏 (versions in other languages will be added soon) tinyurl.com/5579y76e

What a beautiful piece about audio 💚 Hell yes, a game without audio is just half a game! Be kind to your sound designers ✨

Bonus Action@ba-original.bsky.social · last mo.

What would a video game feel like with zero sound? We asked three sound designers (@missgameaudio.bsky.social, @rubenrincon.bsky.social & @cabreracomposer.bsky.social ) whose credits include Zero Parades, Control, Gris, and Neva. The answer:

I am going to Gamescom! For the first time ever, even though I lived really close by for years :D I will be around Wednesday to Friday, so if anyone wants to meet up, let me know 😊

It's only Tuesday after the attack on Saturday and the CDU and FDP are foaming at the mouth to punish and persecute the evil other while making fun of what queer orgs have been demanding for years to improve their safety.

Young Suns features dynamic storytelling that looks to the future with a radically optimistic viewpoint, focusing on the work that comes after liberation. You can help support a queer- and trans-led indie studio by wishlisting Young Suns on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4149610/...

Fernando is as much a part of the cow club as everyone else in the Zero Parades audio team! We could not have done it without him, he is the best. I can 100% recommend working with him!

Fernando Cabrera@cabreracomposer.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Really sad news. I've been incredibly grateful to work with all of them for the last 2 years. They've done an outstanding job that deserves every praise. If you know any available position or know anyone that is hiring, please reach out to them! 🙏🏼

The whole design team are on the chopping block. I worked with all those being let go and they are an incredible people and skilled artists. Anyone looking for any designers?

ZA/UM Studio@zaumstudio.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I will miss our little cow club so much!This has been the best team I have ever worked with. Ruben, Mirella and Eli are audio wizards and amazing people in general 🐮💚

Rubén Rincón@rubenrincon.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Sadly, the entire audio team at ZA/UM is being made redundant as part of the layoffs. If you're looking (or expect to be looking) for Sound Designers or Tech Sound Designers, please don't hesitate in reaching out to @eliforster.bsky.social, @missgameaudio.bsky.social and @soundbear.bsky.social

I switched out my headphone pads today, for the first time since I got them. I should really clean them more often xD When was the last time you cleaned your headphones? 🎧🧴🫧

I hadn't posted it here, but I'm looking to found a game studio with an artist and a programmer in Germany, ideally in NRW, in case anyone is interested! It's not easy to find, because it requires a good amount of industry experience, the ability to lead, and savings to apply for more funding.

The game industry is so fucking back

(Get your 🎧) Restored prairie soundscape vs. conventional agriculture soundscape. These two locations were recorded within an hour of each other, about a mile of each other (literally on opposite sides of the same road), same gain settings. #fieldrecording #biophony #acousticecology #acousticdeserts
