This is the place to look for items that have been added or changed recently and some that are currently still in work. “How recently?” you may ask. Well, how long is a piece of string? It depends.

Re-release of Delhicatescence

This track has been remastered to bring out the voices using a new dynamic filter called Trackspace. That and a few other tweaks here and there. This is a trial version for assessment in different environments and on different equipment – and different ears. Comments welcome.

Kerala, 1998

Note: this audio file is constantly being updated, so it’s likely a later version than you last heard.

New Money

Herewith final version of my new track “Money”, based on the original “Money (That’s What I Want)” by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford, also recorded by The Beatles in 1963. This is one of my all time favourite tracks and one I’ve been meaning to pay tribute to for a long time. Enjoy!

This is the official release now, though I may make it into a video…

New features added to Greening the Spark

Several new features have been added to the Greening the Spark models, completing the design for this phase of the project. These are:

Audio

A new audio module has been written with an audio file queueing capability. This ensures that voice messages associated with different events don’t play at the same time. It also supports playing ambient sounds concurrently with voice messages and other sounds effects when required.

Weather Effects

Two new weather effects have been added to augment the current timeline based weather models: gusts (of wind) and clouds. These allow for short term weather events of the order of tens of seconds to provide greater realism and help keep visitors’ attention.
