"Koude Handen" Download for free
Koude Handen recordings took place between December and January of 2009/2010. The album's unique sound is a result of Matthew's approach to creating music. He uses only one synthesizer (the Korg X5d) supplemented by environmental recordings. An approach to creating music that he has used since his first album release of Grijsgebied (2001).

FREE Downloads - 3 Songs from "Chronicles of Spellborn"
For Spellborn, Kyd steered away from the generic orchestra music archetypes commonly associated with RPGs and has instead crafted a more emotional and personal experience by mixing choirs with acoustic instruments, sound design elements and organic, electronic music. Perhaps his most affecting and diverse score to date, Kyds multi-layered approach to scoring Spellborn breaks new ground for the fantasy and role-playing genres just as he did for the action and stealth genres before.

Next-Gen MMO's usher in new audio experience
Generally, next-gen MMOs employ next-gen engines, like Unreal Engine 3 and Cryengine which can perform sound effects well. For example, Unreal Engine 3 supports sound output formats on various platforms, including 5.1 surround sound and high-quality Dolby Digital sound. Its visual sound tool can help sound designers take full control of sound, including sound intensity, sequence, loop, filter, modulation and randomness. Sound parameters are extracted from the code so that designers can regulate all sounds related to the game, CG trailers and serial animations. However, In Cryengine 2, FMOD sound system enables the complex studio-level sound to be made easily by an innovative tool and also ensures the compatibility on multi-platforms. Interactively dynamic audio system (OpenAL32) allows music playback when game incidents are activated and provides players with cinematic sound effects. Furthermore, it can also restore and mix the true natural environment sounds. These next-generation game engines will play an important part in improving the audio quality of next generation online games.
