It's hard to explain just how much Mortal Kombat meant to me as a kid and (without me knowing it at the time) Dan Forden's work shaped me and sparked my interest in sound design. Absolutely legendary
After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat. A significant part of the first

Some late night synth jamming. The MiniFreak and Analog Rytm are a pretty great combo for glitchy weird noises!

More explorations with the new Oberheim TEO-5. It makes some really killer plucky bass sounds

Really been loving the Oberheim TEO-5 so I made a video demoing some of the custom presets I've designed for it so far. There's a beautiful character to its sound and it can do a lot of tones I wouldn't expect from an analog synth!

More fun with @kilohearts and #phaseplant celebrating 5 years! Phase Plant's modular flexibility combined with randomization is great for creating analog variation. Taking cues from the newer Oberheim synths, I was able to create my own SEM style variable filter and Vintage knob

5 years of @kilohearts Phase Plant! Something I love about #phaseplant is the logic you can program into patches with modulators. This patch I made randomly makes different bass sounds each time I turn up the Macro 1 knob. Great for happy accidents and speeding up my workflow!
