Suddi.com's origins lie with the British dance act Together which was formed by Suddi Raval and Jonathon Donaghy in 1989 (please see pseudonyms accessible from the main page for more information). Although the band's ambitions were no more than to make dance records to be played in, the now legendary nightclub, The Hacienda, an unexpected series of events led to their first record entering the UK's top twenty singles charts, where it stayed for over eight weeks. Many more underground dance singles followed which ultimately led to Suddi's introduction to computer games music, via a follower of the Together sound, Ste Pickford, founder of games company Zed Two. This is discussed in more detail in an interview with Gamasutra (you will need to register to view this website or go to "interviews" under the section what the papers say on this website.) Through the accidental introduction to the UK singles charts many new opportunities were open which resulted in the formation of Suddi.com Sound Design Studio.

The sounds I make consist of two main areas. These are Foley effects and synthesized (or studio processed) sounds. Foley is the name given to actually recording the sounds. Studio or synthesized is the name for sounds or effects I make using desk top processing and computerized effects. I use both types of sounds heavily for all my music and sound design work. It is not always obvious that a lot of the sounds I make are actually made by myself on a computer. For example, I can very easily create a fairly convincing helicopter on my computer in minutes - which is very handy as doing this using Foley techniques would be extremely inconvenient from a point of time and cost.
