One last bit of Game Sound Con wisdom…
No matter how great a thing you think you can make on your own, you will always be able to achieve even more when you’re a part of the right team.

Urgency of now
I had a total blast at GameSoundCon 2022. Just a quick post to share a favorite bit of wisdom from those two days.
The EQ of Food: Torpedo IPA.
A while back I realized I think of the taste of a beer in terms of a frequency response curve. Here’s the latest: The EQ of a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA. Plus a few questions and observations, mostly about how nuts this all makes me sound.
The mysterious power of music: music and healing.
A fascinating individual with a great TED talk on a beautiful subject. If you’re interested in the seemingly magical properties of music to affect us in surprising ways, Robert Gupta’s presentations are must-see talks.
My award-winning wife.
Now that my long-malfunctioning site is behaving itself again, I’m overdue to post a big huge congratulations to my wife and her team. Heather, a supervising sound editor and sound designer, along with Advantage Audio colleagues Robbie Smith, J Lampinen, and Roy Braverman took home a 2014 Golden Reel Award.
Happy 2013!
Please, allow me to be the absolute last to wish you all a very Happy New Year!
This year I’ve been toasting to friendships old and new, and to doing and making good things in 2013. Best wishes to you for a fantastic year.
A road map to success.
There’s certainly no sure-fire way to “make it,” and really, your definition of success might be quite different from mine. But while you can’t force success, you also can’t wait around for it to happen. There are variables you can control, and if you do the right things you can make much better odds for yourself.
The mysterious power of music: treating dementia.
The title of this post on NPR’s site says it all: For Elders With Dementia, Music Sparks Great Awakenings.
We are so deeply connected to music I don’t think we yet understand the breadth and depth of it.
The Lamp Project: the intersection of arts, artists, and social betterment.
I recently started a not-for-profit organization called The Lamp Project, dedicated to spotlighting and supporting socially engaged artists and the causes they champion. I wore multiple hats, including ADR mixer, writer and executive producer, for the creation of some promotional videos. I hope you’ll go take a look—the first one is live on the site right now. And if being a part of an organization with a powerful mission and lots of passionate, creative people interests you, please email me: jeremy.olsen@thelampproject.net.
Thanks for for all the support from everyone!
