@TimNielsen @lydrummet Be sure to let the community know if it looks like you’ll travel. It would be great to meet you both and there could be beverages, or good food, or something…!

@stephenbarden @lydrummet I doubt I'll be able to make it up there, but we have been talking about it!

This is the third Doc I have mixed with @lydrummet, and even one has been some of the work I'm most proud of. First was the The Cave, then The Territory, and now Viktor, premiering at Toronto (TIFF). A very bold sound job for a very bold documentary. If you're at TIFF please go!

ICYMI: David Gordon Green’s NUTCRACKERS, starring Ben Stiller, will be the Opening Night Gala film of #TIFF24, while Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut THE DEB will be the Closing Night film. Both films will be for sale at the Festival. indiewire.com/news/festivals…

Starting Festival strong with our Opening Night Film. ✨ #TIFF24 World Premiere: David Gordon Green’s NUTCRACKERS starring @BenStiller, Linda Cardellini, @EdiPattersonHi, @timheidecker, and @tobyhuss. tiff.net/events/nutcrac…

After hearing of the passing of Ann Kroeber we are re-releasing our interview with her from back in 2014. It is a wonderful talk with a person full of life. She will be missed…..

I’m so happy and proud of Viktor premiering at #TIFF24. We had the most amazing sound team on this truly extraordinary documentary by visionary director @oliviersarbil – sound design by Nicolas Becker, Heikki Kossi & me, and @TimNielsen mixed the film at @skywalkersound ❤️🔊

"If architects and designers accept the power of sound with more responsibility, we can begin to ask how sound could function as a positive element of architecture, not just the default result of people using a building or “noise.”" Fantastic piece: archpaper.com/2024/06/sound-…

A blog post worth reading: Stability Ai released a "sound effects generator' which was trained on CC0, CC BY, or CC Sampling+ audio from FreeSound and the FreeMusic Archive. From first tests the generated sounds are very lowfi and specificity is almost non-existent... But eg they hoovered up all of the vintage sound effects Craig Smith uploaded. blog.freesound.org/?p=2082 #sounddesign #gameaudio

@TheNotoriousNIK The look in his eyes in your post is so much better!

@stephenbarden That’s a little different one cool though thank you

I must find this towel! 💜💜💜🤣🤣🤣 #Prince

My first sound library is out: lots of ordinary cars passing by my car interior, wet and dry street, close and distant, windows up and down. There is material to cover lots of scenes shot from within a car. 20% off until 6th of May. #sounddesign asoundeffect.com/sound-library/…

In exciting news, we're honoured to be named a #PeabodyNominee! The prestigious @PeabodyAwards represents #StoriesThatMatter and we're thrilled to be recognized amongst the very best in storytelling.bit.ly/PeabodyNominees #PeabodyAwards

"The film’s meticulous sound design transforms every echo — the calls of common birds, security guards rapping their batons on metal gates — into a screeching, clanging soundtrack that sets the viewer’s teeth on edge." 🔥😁

So, who’s making a sound library?

Anyone interested in an old guy talking about cubes?

First day mixing at Fox studios this morning, forgot my photo ID. Luckily I could pull a freshly minted Oscar from my bag for entry. Got a golf buggy & a security guard escort!

excited for the nation wide showing of pi on #PiDay2024 making it a #yearlytradition with @a24

"(2m 23s) You can play it at any class, any level. You'll see Filipinos playing in bare feet, in tsinelas🩴. You'll find the game played on any type of surface. Filipinos make the most of the resources they have." – @Jeff__Landicho on the Filipino love of the game (NBA XL)
