Comments on: The Intersection of Sound Design and Music https://designingsound.org/2013/03/01/the-intersection-of-sound-design-and-music/ Art and technique of sound design Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:45:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.8 By: john https://designingsound.org/2013/03/01/the-intersection-of-sound-design-and-music/#comment-8845 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:12:33 +0000 https://designingsound.org/?p=21979#comment-8845 Good subject. As a Composer/Sound designer who works mostly in theatre, I work in an area where those job descriptions blur and are becoming one. Having done nearly a couple hundred shows up here in Canada, the Sound Designer in theatre will have to do the sfx, program the playback system, sometimes design the sound system, write music, choose ‘found’ music (which is for the most part used without permission due to Grand Rights), record music, rehearse actors with music, design wireless mic rigs, program digital mixing boards for line by line mic muting in musicals, set up com systems, do live foley….

But for me the fun is to be able to work out music that combines sound design. Just about to work out arrangement for brass and machines (sfx based grooves) for a few Sally Ann band tunes for a Shaw show.

This topic was designed for him. His work is Fantastic.

I will send this conversation topic to Diego who is in the GRM Tools. He has elaborate some of the wonderful GRM Tools 3. He works on music and sound design both, using the GRM.

I am just really beginning to focus on sound design as a composer. It is a fascinating realm. This should really provide insight to my new found passion.

Thanks!

I am a sound designer myself and often I find myself making music when designing sounds and the other way around. If you think about it, these two fields are one in the same, you are designing, creating music from sounds. but I know that is the root of what we do.

For example, look at the works of Trent Reznor does and or Diego Stucco, yes 2 completely different artist but they do one common thing, design sounds to make music. In this day and age with the abundance of technology and software being developed, I think designers and composers alike have nothing to lose in using either of these in there creation of audio have it what you will.

I hope to see more on this topic and that it generates some good dialogue among the community here on DS. Looking forward to seeing more. And by the way, nice layout!!! Really has a streamline look to it now. Keep up the good work as well.

(“Main Titles” on the soundtrack, bowed cymbals) and much of Drive.

Before that I cut effects for indy films and TV. I found that directors would ask for “sound design here, something creepy.” But I always thought that was better done by score – make the score more “sound designy” instead of the editor cutting in things that may clash with score. As a composer I’ve found I can be more creative with atmospheres, stings, etc. than I was as a sound editor. Though maybe I just wasn’t very good at it. ;)
