Hi there people! Today we are in the studio editing the M10 recordings Dave took from his trip to Vietnam! One of the trickiest things about a process like this, is figuring out how to name and ID files, when you were not there. When I chop and load sounds that I was present at... Continue Reading →
Dave and I have returned from our first recording mission of the year. Though we have been on many record trips together, this is the first time that we have been purely off our own steam and with no attachment to a particular film or project. Typically, we only get away from our dark studios... Continue Reading →
Day 7 of our record trip. We are heading home today, but first...we totally smashed that mountain of Doom. Three days in a row, we have gone up that massive hill, and we are feeling pretty fit now...but also totally bushed. (Sorry about the pun.) Here are my journal entries from the last Kokako hunting...

Day 4 of our January record mission. All is going well so far. Up at dawn and on the road again, (after coffee and breakfast of course...a soundie needs coffee to keep their ears sharp like a fox!) We were travelling pretty steadildy most of the day, on our way to see Dave's good friend,... Continue Reading →
Day three of the January record mission and oh what a day! Before we left Turangi, we stopped in at Tokaanu wharf at the edge of Lake Taupo. We had seen hundreds of swans on the lake the night before and thought, sweet, we'll come back at dawn with a loaf of bread and get... Continue Reading →
Day 2 of our record mission started with some much needed breakfast and coffee. We headed off into the forest again, starting with some nice pine in light drizzle and then we working our way around the lake areas and back to the native bush where we had been recording the night before. This was... Continue Reading →
