Sound guys can also do video?
In 2012 Silver Sounder Matthew Betlej headed to the New Mexico desert to film areas that were used for the testing of the first nuclear bombs.
Two sound designers/composers (Biosphere & Lustmord) were with him to take field recordings for compositions that were then used in this installation that traveled to several electronic music festivals around the world:
“TRINITY is a unique collaboration between Biosphere and Lustmord that explores the first tests of nuclear weapons in the New Mexico desert.
The trailer features a tantalizing glimpse into the music of Biosphere and Lustmord, in which the distinctive sound of each artist can be heard, entwining with the other. Video assembled by Berlin-based video artists MFO features landscapes from New Mexico specially shot by Matthew Betlej as well as archival footage from the 1940s.
The first presentation of TRINITY took place at Unsound Festival New York, followed by Communikey Festival in Boulder, Colorado and MUTEK Festival 2012 in Montreal. The Unsound date on October 19th marks the European premiere of the project.”
2 months in a tent with microphones in the Arctic.
‘Silver Sounder Matthew Betlej just spent his summer (2 months) sleeping in a tent, recording sound, hiking up mountains, and taking extremely violent boat rides through the icy waters surrounding Greenland. The show is Ice Cold Gold Season 2 for Animal Planet. It’s good to be back! Ready to do it all over again!!!

2 Short films with Big Sounds

Send – Written and Dir. by Peter Brown
The Dispatcher – Written and Dir. by Alex Modlin.
Sound design played a large part in the vision of both of these directors and Silver Sound was there to deliver! We took care of the production sound as well.
Subtle Sounds
It happens every time we introduce ourselves and mention that we’re sound engineers–the inevitable, “So what do sound design and mix actually DO for a movie?”
It’s true that we sound folks really get a chance to shine during ninja fights and robot wars, but it’s also true that sound can be used for more subtle things– to draw attention to the emotional state of characters, emphasize and intensify specific actions, and give environments dimension.
Evil Bong!
Prolific filmmaker Charles Band phoned into the studio from LA today to direct the lovely and talented Michelle Mais as the voice of the titular water-pipe during her recording session for his upcoming horror-comedy masterpiece Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong
Paul Schrader and Andrew Wonder at The Venice Film Festival
Robin had the pleasure of mixing this short piece which opened up the 70th Venice Festival last month. Directed by longtime friend Andrew Wonder, the ninety second short was shot on the Highline here in and features acclaimed screenwriter/director Paul Schrader waxing philosophical about the state of contemporary cinema while decked out in a bicycle helmet and homemade 360 degree camera rig. Have a look at what the good folks over at Indiewire said about the film here
