Beep is a documentary history of game sound from the Victorian arcades through to today, with a special focus on video game sound, but also including mechanical games and pinball. Beep is a feature film, a series of webisodes and DVD extras, a book, and a collection of resources here on this website. Beep began with a Kickstarter campaign in August/September 2014, and began filming in October 2014. Beep the film and book are scheduled for release in spring 2016. In the meantime, we will soon be releasing webisodes of our interviews for your enjoyment. These are free for viewers, but we encourage you to help us cover the costs by sponsoring a webisode.

Beep's interview list includes nearly 100 game composers, sound designers, programmers, voice artists, and implementation specialists. We'll be talking about their roles, their history, and their approach to making noise for games.

Beep has filmed, or will film, at GameSoundCon (Los Angeles, October 2014); Distant Worlds (Toronto, December 2014); MAGfest (Washington, January 2015); AES for Games (London, February 2015); Game Developers' Conference (San Francisco, March 2015) and around Japan in mid 2015. Please feel free to come up and say hi if we're not in the middle of a shoot!
