I had a great time last night playing on my good friend DJ Gold Code/Raf Zevallos-Crowe's weekly show, Omakase, broadcast live on KUCI FM at UC Irvine. It was my second set under my new-ish moniker, NIGHTSHADE, a project that leans into darker, more brooding bass grooves.

Another episode of the podcast series I work on has just gone live. For the past year, I have been performing all audio duties (editing, processing, sound design, scoring, mixing, mastering) on a significant series called 'A Matter of Degrees', which is all about the climate crises. While the audio work is engaging, the content I've been working on can't be more poignant, given the last few episodes have been on the LA fires and subsequent insurance claims crisis, as well as EV cars and this episode on the renewable energy-focused 'Sun-Day' event. For the climate curious!

Today on A Matter of Degrees, we’re bringing back the podcast’s very first guest — legendary activist and author Bill McKibben.

I recently created all the immersive sound design for this year’s Clown in the Cornfield brand activation at San Diego Comic-Con.

There's lots of creepy clowns and wonky carnival music, designed to get under your skin.

Very pleased to have had the opportunity to give a guest lecture in 'Designing Immersive Audio Experiences' to the BA Live Audio Experiential degree students at Buckinghamshire New University. It was my first time visiting this school and their fantastic studio facilities, under the tutelage of Professor Gerard Gormley, who is an exceptional sound artist himself.

Had the pleasure of watching two excellent performances by and my wonderful professor who is the programme lead for my degree, Dr. Angela McArthur, using the speaker they helped developed, the 20 sided IKO Speaker. This Ambisonic speaker uses the room's reflections as part of its sonic signature allowing the artist to effectively incorporate the characteristics off a physical space into a performance.

If you need anything serviced or fixed, trust me, send it to Ari he is the best.

Thank you, thank you thank you Ari. I couldn’t be more grateful!!

Back in the room with this unique device, a 20 sided box with 20 drivers, the IKO Speaker was developed in part by my awesome professor Dr. Angela McArthur. We now have one of these on site and I cannot wait to start creating content for this thing.
