Frankfurt Messe 2012 is Over

Best show ever! At least for Solaris...lots of visitors, including one guy who claimed he came all the way from New Jersey just to check out the Solaris! (Hope you enjoyed France afterwards, David.)

More orders and interest - now on to arranging the next production build.

Musik Messe 2011

What a week at the Frankfurt Music Fair!

There were a number of video interviews given, and there's a lot more sound examples than I've been able to show in the past.

Thanks again to all who came to visit - I really enjoyed meeting everyone!

Demo from Howard Scarr

Hi All,

Howard Scarr, sound designer for Hans Zimmer, Urs Heckmann (Zebra2, ACE), Access Virus, and many others, has made a short piece to show off some of the sounds he’s did for the Solaris. Here is “Solaris Plexus”, which you can find on the Audio Demo page, http://www.johnbowen.com/audio-examples.html
