  • good in theory!

    great concept! i love the intention of this podcast and have learned a lot but the older episodes are SO hard to listen to. the host talks over and constantly interrupts the women he has on, asking questions and then practically answering for them. meanwhile he lets the men ramble themselves to oblivion. could be much more respectful. i have yet to listen to newer material so (hopefully) this may have changed

    All episodes from Sound Works Collection were going to be migrated however the current list is spotty. I’m waiting for my favorite episode from 2/2017 to be copied over.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

301 - How Spider-Noir Was Shot Twice... at Once
Q: How did you approach lighting to honor noir traditions while serving dual formats?
We leaned on old-school tungsten-based lighting and practical techniques, with careful diffusion and shadow work, and built a workflow where both color and black-and-white versions could be evaluated in tandem to ensure consistent mood and storytelling across formats.
298 - The Music of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with Composer Michael Giacchino
Q: How did you approach the balance between orchestral texture and synth elements to represent Peter's internal changes?
The orchestra provides the emotional backbone, and the synths act as a secondary voice representing something bubbling inside Peter that he doesn't fully understand. I used soft synths to give me flexibility and control so I could adjust as the film evolved, ensuring the electronics could respond to the on-screen development without overpowering the orchestra.
298 - The Music of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with Composer Michael Giacchino
Q: Why did you decide to take on Brand New Day, and what drew you to the Spider-Man character this time around?
I felt there was an opportunity to explore Peter Parker in a more isolated, intimate space, where the music could reflect loneliness and the cost of being “the one,” while still connecting to the established Spider-Man theme. Destin and I discussed the emotional POV and how the score could support that shift without abandoning the recognizable identity of the character.
291 - The Sound of Tuner, with Leo Woodall and Johnnie Burn
Q: What was your process for figuring out what Niki's hyperacusis was going to sound like, and how did you execute it?
We approached it by mapping three levels of hearing for Niki and building the soundscape to reflect his subjective experience, starting with research, then experimenting with prototypes in the mix, and finally integrating it so the audience feels like they're inside his head without becoming overwhelming.
290 - Mariah Carey Live in Dolby Atmos, with Mix Engineer Paul Falcone
Q: So, at what point did you think about moving from studio engineering into live mixing? How did that transition happen?
The transition happened as Missy Elliott's projects grew into live shows; I started by supporting studio work and then gradually took on playback and front-of-house roles as the shows required timecode-driven visuals and larger-scale performances, eventually moving into the live Atmos space with direct front-of-house work for larger events.
