Technician of Audio Related Phenomena.
Welcome to my website.
I am the bass player in the function band Blue Star Tattoo as well as the guitarist and head honcho of Counts Of The Netherworld. I am skilled in sound design, audio engineering and music production. I enjoy building websites, tinkering with graphic design, video editing, IT, and software development in Max/MSP, Kontakt and Flowstone.
I am in the process of putting together a mobile and live sound recording business which will allow me to offer cheap recording for bands to a high level of professionalism, but really I am dreaming of running my own recording studio.
I will also soon be offering electric guitar repair including installing electronics, set-ups, fret leveling and making new nuts. Watch this space.
My OTR120 Amplifier in the Orange Book plus a personal message from Orange Amps CEO Cliff Cooper.

Microtone 3D Theremax is a gesture instrument designed for the Leap Motion controller interface. Page with more details here.
LAZYdrummer is a sample library drum instrument designed for Native Instruments Kontakt using over 5000 drum samples. Its unique selling point is the ability to control the bleed of all eleven microphones. As far as I am aware this is the only full-bleed control drum-instrument for Kontakt. Page with more details here.
Animato is a open work generative SoundToy. Sound is created by animated object collisions on the gameboard. It uses two customisable FM Synthesizers to create its textures. The animation is created with Max/MSP's jit.physics objects and open GL. Page with more details here.
This is a collection of VST plug-ins designed and built in Flowstone. The pack contains a subtractive synthesizer, multi-line delay/pitch shifter, ring-modulator and a audio mangler.
Chaos Engine is a noise sequencer sound-design tool created in Max/MSP. Each channel produces feedback which can then be manipulated and automated to produce a complex sound-scape of noise. Great for machines and science-fiction sounds.
This is an ongoing project to build an instrument tuner for the Android platform in Java. It will eventually feature both a reference ear tuner and a digital signal analysis tuner as well as chord trainer and metronome. The project has started my journey into learning Java.
Performance tool featuring Live Looper, Granulator, Octave Generator, and Pitch Shifting Delay. This is in the first stages of development and will be expanded to feature FFT, Pitch/Time Stretch, Master Granulator, Routing Switching, Glitch, and Output Recorder modules.
Microphone Auditioner is a media player that plays back multiple microphone recordings of a song. It allows the user to listen to the overall differing effects of the various microphones and techniques in the context of a fully mixed song.
This is my sound design portfolio. I will be adding to this over the coming years to build my portfolio with various pieces of foley story boards, location soundscapes, and various short videos.
Here is a small collection of oddities. Mostly very rough ideas and quickly done compositions in various genres and formats. I would like to be adding more here but full-time work makes it difficult to finish anything. This should be my priority.
My life and work is dedicated to 'Laura Elizabeth Cook' - Still think about you every day.
