Sound is typically an afterthought because it’s misunderstood. It’s one of the most powerful tools in storytelling. It’s never too early to think about it. Make room at the table for your sound collaborators in pre production.

If I had one suggestion to those just starting in sound design, it would be to stay curious. Interrogate the world and objects around you. See what they have to say.

I talk a lot about mastering, metadata, mixing, & more, but a sense of play is the best thing we could possibly have in our toolkit.

Joyeux anniversaire to French composer Γ‰liane Radigue (b.1932) who turns an incredible 94 years of age today! Her work is proof that subtlety can be seismic, and that the smallest shift can change everything. Long live sustained tones, deep attention and Γ‰liane Radigue!

Stoked to have my piece β€œEmber” included in @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Sounds of the Year compilation. I had a blast working on the piece based around an inspiring field recording from Rafael Diogo. An amazing collection of artists and pieces.

β€œwhile the artworld and popular culture seemed to favor spectacle, i was interested in silence, humility, intimacy, and thus began to describe my work as having a lowercase aestheticβ€”and i viewed the term as a quiet form of protest.”

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it β€” so it’s up to all of us.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!)

The β€œepidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness.

LOUDER.
