Recorded in the Atlantic Rainforest in the Ribeira Valley, Sao Paulo State. I walked along a trackway of rough stones in a deep valley surrounded by rainforest and then moved off down a narrow pathway between tall grass and banana palms. An astonishing array of birdsong and the beautiful buzz of a humming bird who crossed the pathway where I was standing several times during the recording.

This is the first draft of what came to be the Threes soundtrack

Threes Soundtrack WIP v2

Leading up to his appearance at The School of Sound this week, Walter Murch chats to Sam Hughes about his career so far, the changes in technology he has seen as well as his presentation at The School of Sound next Saturday.

Walter Murch has been editing sound in Hollywood since starting on Francis Ford Coppola's film The Rain People (1969). He edited sound on American Graffiti (1973) and The Godfather: Part II (1974), won his first Academy Award nomination for The Conversation (1974), won his first Oscar for Apocalypse Now (1979), and won an unprecedented double Oscar for sound and film editing for his work on The English Patient (1996). Most recently he helped reconstruct Touch of Evil (1958) to Orson Welles' original notes, and edited The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). Mr. Murch was, along with George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, a founding member of northern California cinema. Mr. Murch has directed --Return to Oz (1985) -- and longs to do so again, but as an editor and sound man he is one of the few universally acknowledged masters in his field. For his work on the film "Apocalypse Now (1979)", Walter coined the term "sound designer", and along with colleagues such as Ben Burtt, helped to elevate the art and impact of film sound to a new level.

The Sound Architect - Walter Murch Interview

The first of a series of sound design experiments using/exploring new techniques.

"Driving Forces" is a brand new and ultimately innovative sound effect library of static engine tones from Digital Rain Lab. The pack is dedicated to futuristic engine sounds: from small hovering drones to huge space motherships. It thoughtfully includes various engine categories such as Jet Turbines, Micro motors, and Recordings. The addition of real textures makes the library well balanced and with a lot of flexibility in designing unique vehicle sounds.

Made in 96k/24bit, all sounds are ready to be heavily manipulated, and are tagged with BWF and Soundminer metadata for a faster workflow.

Multichannel Field recording of A Symphony Of Frogs in the Rain.

Presenting Luxury Jets HD Professional Sound Effects Library. This massive collection of private jet sounds from 20 aircraft models will blow your mind. Mostly recorded over a two month period at a very quiet airport these sounds offer a rare glimpse into the "very expensive to operate" world of private luxury aircraft. Extremely close up turbofan engine starts, ground taxi bys, arrival engine shut downs, sky ripping pass bys, roaring take offs and much more are included. Interior sounds from some of the jets while they are waiting for passengers to arrive and cockpit warning commands are also included. A airport tug vehicle was recorded unloading a jet and the motorized folding staircase and door from a large private jet are among the many other types of plane sounds.

En este episodio muy especial de Songmess tenemos algo completamente distinto de nuestro formato usual. Richard Villegas ha preparado una breve guía informativa para artistas y fans de escenas independientes, y como promocionar sus proyectos de una manera más práctica y profesional. Los temas incluyen la necesidad de participar en tu escena local, cómo deberían artistas acercarse a medios, estrategias de lanzamiento para canciones / videos / discos, Bandcamp, payola, y mucho más!

Hoy solo oirán hablar a Richard, acompañado por piezas sonoras de Pablo Swiss y Almanacs. No hay invitadxs ni playlist especial. El objetivo de este episodio es crear un recurso informativo para ser compartido entre músicxs y otrxs profesionales de la industria, quienes muchas veces deben aprender de colegas o sus propios errores.  

Esto es solo una fracción de una conversación más amplia y en constante evolución. Hoy traemos consejos e ideas, no respuestas. Cada quien anda por su propio camino, pero siempre vale ir un poco más informado. Suerte!
