This week you can hear from field recordist Chris Watson about his twenty-year career in TV documentaries; learn about auralization in civil engineering with Dr. Alex Southern; hear Nathan Moody talk about synths, mixing and mastering; and hear trumpeter and vocalist Mark “The Loveman” Pender talk about his 25-year career on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Conan.
Plus, hear 7 talks from GameSoundCon 2018 from speakers like Marty O’Donnell, Tom Salta, and Paul Lipson.
Episode outline: ‘Chris’s love of listening began when he was given a reel-to-reel tape recorder as a child. He made his first field recordings in the wilds of the Peak District, near his home in the north of England. Later, Chris and some friends founded influential art-rock band Cabaret Voltaire, incorporating found sounds in their performances and recordings.
Eventually leaving music to train as a TV field recordist, Chris pioneered up-close recording, capturing sounds from ‘places our ears can’t go’: from the jaws of sleeping cheetahs, to creaking glaciers, and seals swimming under the Arctic ice.
For twenty years, Chris worked alongside David Attenborough on BBC documentaries including The Life of Birds, The Life of Mammals, Life in the Undergrowth and Frozen Planet. He now creates sound for all media – games, film, albums, television, radio, installations, apps, hospitals, and art galleries.’
