Earcom is a creative sound design, music, voice and interactive audio company working across broadcast and interactive media.
Games
For over ten years we've provided a high quality audio outsource
service to the games industry, often working
alongside game design teams,
either as the sole audio designers or in partnership with the in-house
team.
Our current major project, led by Earcom's Paul Weir,
is creating all of the audio for Eidos Montreal's new Thief
game, including the sound design, music and
audio direction. Previous Thief games have been benchmark titles for
the quality of
their audio and we hope to continue this tradition with ambitious
plans for this exciting AAA title.
We've recently set up a blog about game audio (about
time!). Paul has recently given talks at GDC in San Francisco and at
the Aalto Game Audio Symposium in Finland on generative music, more
information can be found on the blog.
Recent projects include generative soundscapes for a
Middle Eastern bank and a set of audio idents for Nescafe.
Projects from 2010 include the sound design and 5.1 mixing for a large number of cutscenes from the number one game, by TT Games. Previous Lego titles we have previously worked on include Lego Rockband and .
