Minimal Wave Records
E-Com Website / Forum
- Project Notes
-
The collective designed and built a new E-commerce Website and Forum for Minimal Wave Records, using Expression Engine + FoxyCart.
The layout was partially influenced by the idea of the record cover, since many of these releases are records, and we wanted to make sure the record and the artists were clearly represented before anything else. Another factor in the design came from weeks of roaming through tons of classic 80s magazines like The Face (Neville Brody), iD (Terry Jones), and most specifically Vinyl (Max Kisman), the dutch music magazine that featured many bands found on the site. A few of the colors and other elements where influenced by the faded pages when looking at our old issues, and the 4 color printing of the era.
One highlight of the site is that many people can now put faces to the bands/records that they have known and loved over the years, and also learn a lot more about other things the bands were involved in.
Additionally the MW Forum was updated quite substantially to give the content some room and air. Now you can easily find and read through the thousands of post about the genre without straining your eyes.

Sesame Street - Dig for Dinosaurs
Sound Design
- Project Notes
-
With this project we were to create sounds for 16 dinosaurs and environments form various periods in time. The challenge was to make them as realistic as possible, as this project was co-sponsored by a science organization, but not to scary for the little ones who would be playing the game. And we even consulted with an expert at the Natural History Museum to verify the likelihood of the sounds, even though we will never really know, as there is no soft tissue left in the fossils of course.
Each dinosaurs voice typically consisted of up to a dozen animals cutup and mixed together, or more in some cases, and there are even a few human voices mixed in. This was definitely one of the most fun sound design projects ever.

Svetlana Records - Center Labels
Art Direction for Print
- Project Notes
-
Svetlana contacted us to do a few record centers based on a few of our grey scale processing experiments from a few years back. It was a good bit of fun to tray out a few ideas that will not only look interesting as a label, but also ones that will be interesting while spinning.

Hijacked by MTV Music + Sound Design
Music + Sound Design
- Project Notes
-
We created 25+ bespoke ringtones in a variety of styles for the Motorola "Hijacked by MTV" partnership. Some were musical like those used in this On-Air Promo from MTV India and some sound effects based like the "Dalí Set" below.
The Hijack campaign was the most globally successful part of the relationship and brought fruition hundreds of off-the-wall wallpapers, screensavers, java games, and ringtones for the various Motorola mobile phones, with the tagline — It’s not your parent’s phone. We created several of the more musical ringtones (below), over one hundred alerts, in addition to several gastronomic deformities and “rudities” (which are in the commercial).

MTV Exquisite Corpse 03
Art Direction + Sound
- Project Notes
-
We did the design and the music and sound effects for the MTV Exquisite Corpse 03 campaign website. Exquisite Corpse (aka Exquisite MTV), was the theme of the 2003 MTV Global Image campaign.
The goal of the website was to allow visitors to understand and watch where each part of the 16 different Exquisite Corpse videos came from, and also watch the full videos. Each video started with a color, and had 7, 1 second parts (for a total of 8 seconds). Each 1 second part being created by a different international team, then passed to the next, which were then "sewn" together.

Vae Victis Games
Game Sound Design
- Project Notes
-
Vae Victis Games was an independent game development studio that created a multiplayer first person shooter PC game using the Torque game engine. This is a sound narrative using several sounds created for the game. The full game utilized over 500 sounds and was based on a similar idea to the Splinter Cell series that came out around the same time.
