Designing Sound has posted a number of these interviews from RODE University (the folks who make a number of nice mics and gear). This one is with one of my favourite sound designers – Scott Gershin.

Ever wonder what makes sounds scary?

I, of course, have a great fondness for the Horror/Suspense Genre, and have even won some awards for my work in the field. So I was interested to come across this article -Scary Movie Scores Mimic Alarm Calls in Nature. Some interesting scientific study on WHY we find some sounds scary and some sounds not. Thanks to Dr. Sound (aka Marti Humphries) for pointing this out.

Quote of the day

“Sound editing is really all about, you watching the film not as an editor but as the audience. You have to follow the sound in your head. what are you hearing in your head? If you are hearing what is coming out of the speakers and it is different from what is in your head you have some work to do.”

-Dane Davis in “Recording Sound”

OK, so I haven’t REALLY been travelling the world, but I crossed the globe musically for this spot for CUSO/VSO which was produced by Parktown. CUSO/VSO is an non-profit development agency that works through volunteers. If you have ever considered volunteering, especially overseas, be sure to visit their site.

Here’s an interview from “Donkey” that Adrian Langley(director), Matt Stefiuk (Actor/Producer) and myself did with the CBC, to promote the premiere of the film. While they got a few of the facts wrong (the movie only cost $5,000 and was not only shot, but FINISHED in Ottawa), it’s always nice to get some attention. You can also find another article from Metro here, and a very good review here.

Donkey Premieres!

“Donkey”, Adrian Langley’s latest feature has it’s World Premiere this Wed. and Thursday at the Rideau Center Empire Cinemas, in Ottawa, Ontario. The film, which features my music and sound, follows the story of Don Keys a “two-bit thug” who gets out of jail with two things on his mind – revenge on the man who put him behind bars, and the chance to find love with Bella. But fate has different plans for Don, as Bella is kidnapped, and Don must get her back.
