April 1, 2013 by Peter Albrechtsen

Music, Sound and the Worlds in Between – A Skip Lievsay Interview (Part 2)

Skip Lievsay needs almost no introduction: He is one of the most distinguished and prolific sound editors in the movie business.

Scanner on Sound and Music

Scanner, aka Robin Rimbaud, is a British artist, composer and sound designer whose works include film scores, installation sound, product sound design and of course, electronic music.

Designing Musical Sounds

Guest Contribution by Brendan Hogan Making music from a single household item is hardly an original idea at this point, but if you’re a sound designer or an electronic musician and you haven’t taken a shot at it, I would highly recommend the exercise.

An interview with Nils Frahm

March 27, 2013 by Varun Nair

An interview with Nils Frahm

About a year ago I watched 'An Island', a documentary film by Vincent Moon on the Danish band Efterklang.
