And with that, all seven of the magical Harry Potter full-cast audio editions are now available exclusively from @audible

Over two years were spent tailoring and creating 125 hours of audio. Our team recorded real-life steam trains for the Hogwarts Express, gargled eggs to create the raspy breaths of the Dementors, and combined all members of the animal kingdom to create the sound of the dragons!

We couldn’t be prouder to have been the sound design and supervision team behind this incredible series.

A huge thank you to Audible and Pottermore for trusting us with something so special, and a huge congratulations to everyone involved for bringing this world to life in such a remarkable way.

To our wonderful String and Tins team: Lawrence, Will, Ellie, George, Jen, Damian, Kevin, Peter and Phil, for all your hard work and love you put into making this project so magical. And to our wider team, Rachel, Esi, Mike, Eimear, Millie, Amber, Laura-Leigh, Vincent, Ryan, Jim, Kaspar, Chris and Rick, thank you for helping to bring it all to life.

A true team effort from start to finish. Congratulations to all the post houses involved ❤️

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final instalment of the full-cast audio editions, is out now!

I had some seriously good meditative field recording time on the Downs Link this weekend with my trusty omnis clipped to my bag.

I was on my way to meet one of my besties for a catchup… great to hear the Skylarks are at it, the cows are curious, and the bit of the South Downs Way I got to is the quietest place I’ve been for weeks. Plenty of time to reflect and recharge ✨

Also a learning… my cheaper Lom mics self noise is too much for such subtle creatures… excepting the cows 🤣 I’ll post some sniffing in due course.

These exchanges dive into the craft of sound design across diverse media, the creative process of transforming audience submissions into music and art, and the realities of working with spatial audio, orchestras, and immersive technologies.

Every adventure begins one brick at a time.

An epic spot directed by the super talented Joseph Mann at Blinkink for LEGO and Star Wars. We had a blast creating the sound and music for this one, getting to use some of the original Star Wars sound effects sent directly from Skywalker Ranch and recording a 60-piece orchestra in Budapest for the original score!
