Practical guides and creative approaches to noise-making and sound design from Avareth Taika.
A resource by Avareth Taika about sound design and making noise. Covers creative approaches to generating and manipulating sounds. The title captures the spirit — it's about the creative, experimental side of sound design rather than following rigid techniques.
Good for breaking out of formulaic sound design approaches. Encourages experimentation and unconventional thinking about how sounds can be created and combined.
The experimental approach to sound creation translates well to game audio, where you often need sounds for things that don't exist in the real world. Learning to think creatively about sound sources and manipulation opens up possibilities for game sound design.
