Testimonials
For the film ‘The Last Stop’
“Special mention must go to the moody sound work on this film. It’s not afraid to confine itself to claustrophobic chiming effects that perfectly reflect the interiority of the fantasy. There’s barely any dialogue and the film has the courage to let the images tell the story without being underscored by music, exposition or too much ambient sound.”

Camel Audio’s Alchemy Virtual Instrument
A few years after the release of the fantastic Cameleon 5000 additive synthesier, comes the release of Alchemy. Well what can we say about this synth? Well apart from the fact that it is a sound designer’s dream come true! Okay, we will be a bit more objective than that! SO the basics, Alchemy blurs the boundaries between sampling and synthesis, and allows you to manipulate sounds in ways which are impossible with conventional samplers. It features additive, spectral and granular synthesis and resynthesis, sampling, and a fat sounding virtual analog engine with unison and pulse width modulation.... Read→

Mole Miner Beta Goes Live
syncro:sound is proud to announce that Mole Miner the latest game for Android from Little Fluffy Toys is going into beta. Our involvement with the project was to produce sound design and compositions, we have developed all in game sounds and theme tunes, with more to come in download packs for later released versions. This project was a lot of fun as it involved trying to replicate the sounds of the classic early computers games, but at the same time giving them a modern feel. a2a_config.linkname="Mole Miner Beta Goes Live"; a2a_config.linkurl="http://www.spencerbruce.com/?p=399"; a2a.init("page"); Read More →
