Audio Gung Fu is a collection of nonlinear journal entries written to share Explorations into Sound, tighten up my workflow, and provide space for reflection. It is one part research log and one part art analysis with a healthy dose of sonic experimentation.
There are a lot of amazing things happening out there. My intention is to further document the bridge between Audio Engineering, Sound Design, Field Recording & Foley, GameDev, Synthesizer and DSP communities.
Gung Fu is a centering philosophy as I immerse myself in the sonic arts. It provides a thematic impetus and gives this research blog movement.
Blog posts are organized in the dropdown menus.

Author's note: This blog jumps between an array of audio subjects, see social media for updates. This is a long term project and right now it surely shows no signs of slowing!
