Games where you can hear Kyma

This is a sampling of some of the computer games whose sounds are created using Kyma...

07 Dec 2010 — Mike Johnson made extensive use of Kyma in his sound design work for Blizzard Entertainment's latest World of WarCraft expansion, Cataclysm as well as on another release earlier this year: Starcraft II. For Cataclysm, Johnson used Kyma to create hybrid vocalizations for several of the new creatures that now populate the world of Azeroth. Creatures with names such as Rock Demon, Fire Dragon, Slime Creature, Rock Worm, Stone Golem and Wood Creature were created by taking various human and animal vocalizations and warping them with fire, rock, and other elemental forces to visceral, terrifyingly effect. According to Johnson, "I couldn't have done it without my Kyma system." more...

09 Jun 2009 — Composer Sascha Dikiciyan is interviewed in Fangoria about his score for [PROTOTYPE], the new Activision game based in a post-viral-infected New York City. Balancing the orchestral and cinematic with dark ambient electronics, Sascha and composing-partner Cris Velasco create a darkly brooding and frightening world. In the interview, Sascha describes how he used Kyma to create an intense feeling of tension using low frequency, almost naseau-inducing humming sound clouds for New Order and other themes throughout the game. more...

26 May 2009 — Mike Johnson completed the audio post production for the cinematics for the new PS3 exclusive game InFAMOUS for Sucker Punch. Kyma emerged as the main processor for creating all of the electrical sound effects for the main character, Cole McGrath. Johnson explains that there aren't a lot of CD libraries with great sounding electrical effects to draw from, so one has to create and/or record their own custom sounds. For InFAMOUS he recorded Styrofoam rubs, squeaks, and scrapes that he then pitched, reordered, and granulated with Kyma to create a whole new palette of custom electrical sound effects. more...

23 Dec 2007 — In an interview with GameZone, sound designer/composer Kemal Amarasingham describes how he used a lawnmower and Kyma's REResonator to create animalistic animalistic language for Mage Knight Apocalypse.

The granular functionality of the system allowed me the freedom to experiment with and abuse audio while always generating useful results." more...

08 Apr 2003 — Peter Comley and Tawm Perkowski used Kyma for the sound design on the new XBox game, MechAssault. As one might expect from an action game centered on 40-foot-tall robots, explosions are large and frequent. The game is a near-constant barrage of debris, dirt, and flames being cast about with extreme force. Most of these sounds were created with Foley and recorded sound elements. However, to convey the advanced technology behind the weapons found in the Battletech universe (and the sheer chaos of the explosions) Peter and Tom wanted lots of unusual synthetic elements... so naturally they turned to Kyma. more...

15 Jul 1997 — Bill Rust used Kyma to process his own voice saying "Trick or Treat" (in an inimitably demonic way, of course) for a talking Halloween mask he developed for Pragmatic Designs (now Digi-Frame Inc.) in New York. more...
