#AESEurope was a blast! Many thanks to everyone who attended our session on #MachineLearning #GameAudio tools last Saturday.

It was very nice to talk to old and new friends. There were many inspiring talks with useful takeaways.

Until the next one!

Similarly to what happened to many other people, the first Wipeout game was a key inspiration for me, both in my electronic music and games career. Awesome documentary youtu.be/-nwWpQJFGp8?...

Indeed! Most interestingly, it made sense to me when I learned that the refresh rate of 25fps for PAL and 30fps NTSC was because of coming from mains 50Hz and 60Hz :)

My #GDC2024 talk is now available in the vault!

Here you can see me and hear me talk about #GameAudio tools and even make a joke (!).

Thank you so much again to all the people that attended and for all the questions! Let me know if you have any more.

Today I made Spanish "Torrijas" for Easter. Fried bread, sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon.

@markkilborn.bsky.social Hi Mark, nice to meet you. Please can I use in a presentation a Twitter poll you posted a couple years ago on audio tools (workflows/speed vs features/power). I wanted to send you a private message but there aren't DMs here and we aren't mutuals on X. Thanks in advance!

Monday night thought: I'm wondering if future generations (let's say in 50-100 years) will see us workers in tech/IT as "digital miners". Grinding assets, data and algorithms. Squashing bugs and numbers for a living with handcrafted tools.

We also had ours this week. It was great to hack for a while!

Been playing Cocoon during my Christmas Holiday. The audio work is fantastic on this one though I might be biased because I'm a sucker for ambient and electronic music. Would love to watch a deep dive on the audio tech and implementation!

I still have one EA game code from my yearly allowance available. Any PlayStation family employee in my followers that would like to trade a code? :)

Hey all, here's part 1 of a 3 part series on the basics of machine learning. The intended audience is game devs and will end with plain, bare bones C++ that does training, and a plain C++/DX12 demo that does inference in compute shaders in real time.
