Rarefaction - Digital Dysfunctions (1995)

This sound library features years of work from Chris and is available only on CD-ROM. This CD-ROM consists of 16 bit 44.1 kHz AIFF stereo sound files, ready for use in your digital workstation, sampler and performance applications and will mount on PCs (running Windows 95 or higher) or any Macintosh computer. "The sounds contained in this cross-platform, single CD-ROM collection are indeed sonically abusive, but they're also very cool and usable, especially if your project calls for sci-fi, alien-type sounds." - Home Recording Magazine December 1999 Chris Grigg is probably best known as a member of the not-exactly-a-band called Negativland (which is best known for its found-sound collage work such as the infamous "U2/Negativland" record, and for its dedication to copyright law reform). But Chris has also always been interested in lots of other things, too-- especially things like music technology, computer audio, and abstract sounds. As a sound designer and software programmer he's been contributing his peculiar sense of what makes for unusual and interesting sound to Negativland projects, to feature films, to his own music, and even to computer games, for many years. The Digital Dysfunctions sound library was cross-fertilized by those diverse experiences in audio creation, and is built to be useful to anyone working in any of those realms who's looking for something out of the ordinary. Chris Grigg has been involved in music and sound for games since 1985, both as an artist (titles from LucasFilm Games, Activision, Electronic Arts, Epyx, Rocket Science, and Pixar), as a music and sound tool designer (LucasFilm Games, Epyx, Sega, Pixar), and as a creative and technical director (Epyx). Having spent a sabbatical in the film sound world, Chris is currently a consultant to the game sound industry, a member of IA-SIG, a creator of sound libraries, and a developer of media production tools under the name Control-G.
