65DAYSOFSTATIC

I have been in this band for more than two decades. We have done far too many things to list them all here. Check 65daysofstatic.com for everything. Some notable projects over the last few years (excluding regular albums):

GAME DEVELOPMENT

Since writing the soundtrack to No Man's Sky with 65daysofstatic, I have become increasingly involved in game development working as a composer, sound designer, UI programmer, Unity all-rounder, or some combination of all of these. My current portfolio looks like this:

  • Composer - [NDA, 2023]
  • Audio Director & Composer - [NDA, 2022-2023] (project currently on hold)
  • Lead Sound Designer & Composer - Dungeon Golf (Ant Workshop, 2023, PC).
  • Composer - Closed Hands (Passenger Games, 2020, PC)
  • UI Programmer - Recompile (Phi Games, 2020, PC/PS5, XBOX One)
  • Composer (with 65daysofstatic) - Recompile (Phi Games, 2020, PC/PS5, XBOX One)
  • Composer (with 65daysofstatic) - No Man's Sky (Hello Games, 2016, all formats)

I have also done sound design and general FMOD/Wwise/Unity development for a number of other projects. Please do feel free to get in touch if you think that my noise systems/orchestral melodrama/sonic audacity/audio manipulation etc. etc. might be a good fit for your project.

DIGITAL/GLITCH A/V WORK

I designed and programmed this music video for the song Distant Friend, I Love You! from my album Telex from MIDI City:

Over a period of around a year 2019-2020, I made a series of ASCII/Text-mode music videos for 65daysofstatic including KMF:

WRITING

Here are some essays/reviews I wrote for The Quietus over the years:

The Quietus
The Quietus | Features | Remixing, Bootlegging and The Cure by 65daysofstatic man Paul Wolinski
The front man of 65daysofstatic got pissed off waiting for The Quietus to ring him and wrote us an article instead. Good man, say we. Pictures by Steve Gullick and Scott Bartlett.

A track-by-track overview I wrote for Foxy Digitalis about my album Telex From MIDI City:
