Team Papa

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

We had a drink last week and someone took a photo on their iPhone.

If you wondered what Team Papa Sangre looks like (minus Dan the Coder and Neil the Writer) here you go.

And for special bonus edit: chief Sangre Wrangler, Ben Cave, is not in this picture either. The author of this article sends his sincere apologies.

Nice pic of the Papa Sangre dev team

Release Date News

Friday, April 16th, 2010

OK — we’ve had a *lot* of requests for information as to when Papa Sangre’s going to ship. Thanks for all the interest!

Short version: “When it’s done.”

Longer version: we reckon we’ll be done by early summer — to be specific, June.

Exact day to be determined.

It’s sounding pretty darn good by the way.

Fresh Sangre – Dan Jones Joins Team Papa

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Papa Sangre has found a new pair of ears to feast on.

Dan Jones is the latest addition to the team, and is applying his considerable talents to turbocharging our audio engine.

Dan is part artist, part designer and part engineer. After pumping steroids into Papa’s world of sound he is heading off to the Santa Fe Institute - Mecca to all things complex and labyrinthine - to explore chaos and swarm theory in the desert. He is responsible for several site-specific audio/video performances, sound design and scores for film and stage, and web-based generative works, plus live and pre-recorded pieces for radio. Check his website, or follow him on Twitter… he is something of The Don.

Below is a beautiful Dan Jones original. ‘Score Treatments’ sees the surface image of a series of classical scores subjected to techniques mirroring those found within contemporary digital music production: granulation, timestretching, mathematical repetition, and cut-and-splice collage. Welcome along El Jones.
