The sound design for Poor Things – with Johnnie Burn:
Johnnie Burn joins in to talk about his work on the new Yorgos Lanthimos directed film, Poor Things. He discusses his working process with Yorgos, the sonic differences between the black and white portion and the full color parts of the film as well as how he figured out the vocals for the hybrid animals. We even briefly touch on his work on Zone Of Interest:
The Music of Poor Things:
Composer Jerskin Fendrix joins us to discuss his first-ever film score — the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos — Poor Things. It was an exciting experimental collaboration for both artists, as this was also the director’s first time working with an original score for one of his films:

Pipe Noise & Flow is a sound effects library built around the hidden voices of pipe systems, large and small. Captured over several years across industrial plants, residential buildings, factories, sewers, underground tunnels, caves and public infrastructure, this collection brings together a wide range of sonically rich material.
You’ll hear water, gas, and air moving through pipes made of metal steel, copper, aluminium, plastic, glass, concrete, and stone. There are massive flows and subtle trickles, bursts of pressure, hollow resonances, eerie whistles, and the strange tonalities that emerge when systems crack, leak, or fail. Many recordings feature broken or deteriorating pipes, full of texture and unpredictability. While there is plenty of industrial and subterranean grit, you’ll also find more subtle sources like kitchen sinks, bathroom plumbing, and everyday interior systems; sounds that can lend realism or eeriness to intimate scenes.
This library is designed to be flexible and inspiring. Use it to create detailed ambiences for sci-fi, horror, and post-apocalyptic settings, to build layered mechanical textures for machines and user interfaces, or to design unique elements for hybrid weapons, alien devices, strange creatures or abandoned environments. Whether you need the realism of urban infrastructure or the surreal qualities of a forgotten machine, Pipe Noise & Flow offers an unexpected toolkit full of possibility.
