postPerspective: The Meg: What does a giant shark sound like?

postPerspective: The Meg: What does a giant shark sound like?

Image from postPerspective In this article, Jennifer Walden explores the work of Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van der Ryn, Jason Jennings and the E² Sound team on Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Meg.

Vox News: A Quiet Place’s Very Loud Silence

American news website, Vox, has recently published an episode for their podcast, I think you're Interesting, featuring sound designers Erik Aadahl and Ethan van der Ryn.

The Sound of “The Tree of Life”

The Sound of “The Tree of Life”

New article of Mix Magazine featuring sound designers Craig Berkey and Erik Aadahl talking about his work on "The Tree of Life". Pity the poor journalist who has to write an article about a Terrence Malick film before it’s released.
