We first graced each other in September of last year, powering through Master&#8217;s degrees at The University of Derby. Harry Cooper, commonly known as \u2018The Mastermind\u2019 in a flash of inspiration, had the idea of creating a binaural based audio game. Naturally, Connor and Jordan were instantly on board. Using our past experience in sound design, composition, game development and narrative construction, we combined forces to create the company that we are today. With an unprecedented desire to excel in creative industries, we set upon our journey to create a diverse, deep and exciting journey through our dark and eccentric world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join Harry and Jeff in the Blind Abilities Studio and hear an in-depth conversation on creating the PsychoAcoustic environment in Pitch Black \u2013 A Dusklight Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up to date with their progress and offerings on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PitchBlackADusklightStory\/\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dusklightpro\">@DusklightPro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And be sure to check out their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/pitchblackgame\/pitch-black-the-aaa-audio-game\">Pitch Black Kick Starter page<\/a>&nbsp;and read all about who, what, why and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for Listening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Your State Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reside in Minnesota, and you would like to know more about Transition Services from State Services contact Transition Coordinator Sheila Koenig by&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:Sheila.Koenig@state.mn.us\">email<\/a>&nbsp;or contact her via phone at 651-539-2361.<br>To find your State Services in your State you can go to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afb.org\/directory.aspx\">www.AFB.org<\/a>&nbsp;and search the directory for your agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for listening!<br>You can follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindabilities\">@BlindAbilities<\/a><br>On the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><br>Send us an&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@BlindAbilities.com\">email<\/a><br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/blind-abilities\/id1085849859?l=es&amp;mt=8\">Free Blind Abilities App&nbsp;on the App Store<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blindabilities.android.blind&amp;hl=en_US\">Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/607027582712671\/\">Blind Abilities Community<\/a>on Facebook, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlindAbilities\/\">Blind Abilities Page<\/a>, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/193468111470902\/\">Career Resources for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/assistivetechnologyfortheblind\/\">Assistive Technology Community for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7695\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-5565-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/PitchBlack.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/PitchBlack.mp3\">http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/PitchBlack.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p>http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/PitchBlack.mp3 Show Summary: Harry Cooper talks about the process and experience behind developing an audio game being designed with the Blind in mind.
