Star Wars: The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is released! It was literally a dream come true to be apart of this massive game where I voice processed thousands of lines of dialogue in three languages in addition to sound designing a few character voices.

I was able to clean it up a bit and restore some of the presence. Special thanks to Jonathan Wandag for offering his time and scoring this spot. I think the score is phenomenal and inspiring!...

Dudley Perkins (aka Declaime): Interplanetary Peace Talks Documentary (Directed by A.J. Calomay), a feature documentary on visionary rapper Declaime, is finally released!
