Podcasts about Game Audio and Film Sound Asbjoern Andersen


Looking for something great to listen to? We've found some excellent podcast episodes about sound for you, created by the members of the Audio Podcast Alliance - in this roundup:

Emily Reese has a conversation with Inon Zur about his music for Syberia: The World Before. The music in this game is special for several reasons. One of the main characters is a concert pianist and part of the game is set in 1937 with clear parallels to World War II - all of this sets the stage for some great music.

In the latest episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel, Monica Bolles and Bjørn Jacobsen are joined by Ken Felton, Sound Designer at Spatial. In this episode, they discuss the Spatial technology and its entire ecosystem of tools, exploring the breadth of implementation options and some recent case studies.

Music producer, singer, and songwriter Unlike Pluto (AKA Armond Arabshahi) talks with Akash Thakkar about what it's like to be a full-time creative, the highs and lows of releasing monstrously successful #1 hits, producing music when you don't feel like it, what it's like being the child of immigrants, and so much more.

Sherry Klein is the latest guest on the SoundGirls Podcast. Sherry is a Post Production Re-Recording Mixer for Television and Film. She is currently living in Los Angeles, Ca. working with Smart Post Sound. Some of her credits include New Amsterdam, Queen of the South, Burn Notice, Sons of Anarchy, and The Shield.

Sound + Image Lab: The Dolby Institute Podcast conclude their special coverage of sound design for video games by interviewing the sound team at Gearbox Software, which famously created 'over one billion guns' for its latest first-person shooter, Borderlands 3.

Twenty Thousand Hertz bring you the story of Simlish, the language of The Sims.

Featuring Sims Designer & Voiceover Director Claire Curtin, Composer & Audio Director Jerry Martin, voice actress Krizia Bajos, and Youtuber Rachybop.

Dane Davis & Steph Flack join the Tonebenders Podcast to talk about their work as sound supervisors on The Matrix Resurrections.

One of the main characters is a concert pianist and part of the game is set in 1937 with clear parallels to World War II – all of this sets the stage for some great music.’
