Accidents? Those are the great bits! – a Designing Sound interview with Warren Ellis

May 27, 2015 by Peter Albrechtsen

Accidents? Those are the great bits! – a Designing Sound interview with Warren Ellis

Warren Ellis is unstoppable. The busy Australian is a member of – at least – three different bands: The Bad Seeds, Grinderman and Dirty Three. He plays violin, piano, bouzouki, guitar, flute, mandolin, viola and, yes, probably even more. He is pretty much constantly touring the world, making records or creating soundtracks. Anyone who’s experienced him onstage with Nick Cave … [Read more...]

“The quieter it is, the more you hear!” – Chuck Michael on the sound for Stoker

August 12, 2013 by Peter Albrechtsen

“The quieter it is, the more you hear!” – Chuck Michael on the sound for Stoker

Sound is the most invisible part of the film. That’s probably why it’s quite rare for the sound of a movie to be mentioned in the press. But it happens, fortunately, and the film Stoker is a great example – this latest work by acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook premiered at this year’s Sundance, and since then the prolific and powerful sound design has been getting a lot … [Read more...]

An introduction to Alvin Lucier – and his impact on the sound of Se7en

August 8, 2013 by Peter Albrechtsen

An introduction to Alvin Lucier – and his impact on the sound of Se7en

Better late than never. Last month’s theme at Designing Sound was Acoustics but one person we really wanted to include during July had to get moved slightly – so here is a belated feature on one of the world’s true pioneers when it comes to exploring acoustic phenomena and auditory perception: Alvin Lucier. The American avant-garde composer was born in 1931 and composed … [Read more...]

Nicolas Becker – Behind the Art

December 22, 2012 by Peter Albrechtsen

Nicolas Becker – Behind the Art

We’re getting very close to the end of 2012 and there’s been lots of brilliant sonic experiences in the cinema throughout the year. One that really stood out, though, was the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights by the English director Andrea Arnold with wonderfully textured soundscapes created by the French sound designer Nicolas Becker. Nicolas has worked as a foley artist … [Read more...]
