News - December 09
Earcom is a creative sound design, music, voice and interactive sound company working across broadcast and interactive media.
Games
We're an experienced all round audio out-source facility, often working
alongside game design teams,
either as the sole audio designers or in partnership with the in-house
team.
We're delighted to announce that Earcom's director,
Paul Weir, will be directing and
producing the audio for Eidos Montreal's Thief 4.
The
previous
Thief games have been a benchmark in game audio quality
and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to push the boundaries of
interactive audio with this latest version.
Our most recent released work includes the sound design
for the
opening cineamtic sequence of Lego
Rockband. On behalf of Channel 4 and Six To Start, we
produced
all of the voice overs and sound design for their Smokescreen
ARG.
Other recent titles include the top ten games Lego
Batman and Pure
(which scored an average of 85% in reviews). Past titles include Discworld Noir, Ghost Master, Warrior
Kings, Ghost Rider, Constantine, Juiced 2, Guinness World Records
and many others.
We're hugely experienced in generative audio and
continue to develop our own software and hardware systems. Recent work
on behalf of The Sound Agency includes
sound
designing the South American bank Helm and creating six generative
soundscapes for a six thousand room trial for a major American hotel
chain.
Film
& Video
We recently completed work on the sound design for
the film Book of Blood, based on
a Clive Barker short story.
With a David Lynch-inspired sound world, this has shaped up to be one
of our most creative projects yet.
We mixed Warner
Breaks 2008 advertising campaign for Vanilla Films and acted as
sound consultants for the recently released film Me and Orson Welles, directed by
Richard
Linklater.
Mobile
December 08 saw FutureSound for the iPhone/iPod
Touch released. We provided the generative music for the system as well
as advised on its development. For Panini
we've
produced all of the audio for their new Mutones
IP which has recently been test launched in Ireland. We've worked on
many mobile games including several for PopCap and recent iPhone
releases include MonsterKill, Air Bear and Car Mania.
Radio
For our sister company, Perfectly Normal Productions,
we produced the original music score and created the sound design for
the hit Radio 2 comedy drama, The Adventures
of Sexton Blake.
