No, this is not a post about the affect of violent imagery on young viewers, this is about some cool projects that have been made using Violence – my sample library for VIR2 and Big Fish Audio. The video above is an add for SIFF- the Seattle International Film Festival. Sound designer and composer John Buroker used some sounds from Violence in creating the soundtrack for this piece. There’s plenty more excellent and innovative sound design to check out on his vimeo page.
I’d also like to share my score for the short film “Guilty Shoes” which recently won the Silver Medal for Excellence in Original Music for a Short Film from the Park City Film Music Festival. My concept for the score was to blur the line between sound design and music. Violence fit perfectly into this concept and I used it frequently. You can watch a clip towards the end of the film here.
And finally, here’s a full song I made using Violence and only Violence.

If you want to learn more about Violence you can do so here and here. My exploration into all things reversed will continue shortly.
If anyone reading this is a composer and doesn’t own violence yet, stop what you are doing and buy it. So many fresh and usable sounds… and it’s cheap as hell!
Thanks Ruckus! I completely agree.
