Available Light company member Jordan Fehr is a prolific, professional designer of sound for video games, film, and theatre. At JordanFehrFX, he’s released four libraries of royalty-free sound effects for designers to use in their projects.

On the occassion of the release of JFFX04 (Buttons, Gear, and Equipment,) Designing Sound dot org has published an interview with Jordan and his collaborator Damian Kastbauer. Here’s an excerpt.

It happens all the time when you least expect it. Even recordings I have made on a whim, not for any library release, will come around in a year and be needed. Here’s a weird example: at one of my old apartments some painters came in to strip the ceiling of the apartment below mine, and they were making this scraping sound through my floor. I recorded it from my vantage point, just because it was weird, and I am using in a game right now (unless the sound gets cut!). With the size of portable recorders now, there is just no reason not to have one around most of the time, and I have gotten plenty of usable material out the built-in mics on some of those.
