There is nothing to hear on this post, not on your headphones. But there is an incredible imaginary while I try to learn this place through sound. I have been in São Paulo, Brazil, for 7 days now and although I brought my upgraded gear, I have just recorded a few times, at least for this […]

PSE Hybrid Library Review
Below I link the first review for AudioNewsRoom I’ve done on the impressive Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library. This was the first of three where I go into some detail with organising and metadata. Would love to hear your comments on which points you would like me to go over in the next two reviews! […]
Random Observations on Sound – II
“So did you record any nice sounds?” “Yes, I caught some trees creaking, that was quite nice!” “Your microphones must be very sensitive, right?” “You mean because I got the trees creaking?” “Yes.” “But you can hear for yourself those trees over there creaking right now.” “Ah!….” I have been trying to force the principle of […]

Having to record sound on a daily basis as a job, I get many new impressions and thoughts. This is a series that will be a way of sharing those. Many of the posts will be very short. Some might also be from other authors. Feel free to leave a comment and contribute with your […]
Interview on Field Recording + a few updates
A few months ago Paul Virostek contacted me to ask a few questions about my field recording practice and launch it as an interview on his second series of “A month of field recordists”. It was (really) an honour, and a surprise, since his blog – and his books – have been what inspired me […]

This idea came up long time ago when we were both whining about the people we were working with and for; and the realisation […]
The Foreign Condition – Conversation with Paulo Dantas on Listening Awareness, Sound Education & Field Recording
In February, Paulo Dantas, a composer, improviser and field recordist, visited Stockholm as a guest composer at Elektronmusik Studion, to master two new music releases (Eva Mitocondrial, by Insignificanto, and Facies, by Bella) and to make some critical listening. We got the opportunity to meet and he very kindly agreed to share insights on listening, field […]
What I learned from practicing Field Recording
Field Recording is much more than assembling an audio kit and record. It´s much more than technique and technology. Only over the past few months I realised how important it has been on a personal level to practice Field Recording. By understanding what events or things I was prone to record, I also gained perspective […]
Sound Design Picks
Extremely Loud and Incredible Close is one of those films that I will remember for a long time. The excellent sound design makes it a great experience. The excerpt above is by far what got my ears most attention. Not only is this dialogue edit impressive by itself as it translates Oskar´s emotions and state of mind […]
Documentary Production I – Some Answers
Hello! For whoever not familiar where this article comes from, you can read the first one here. In there, I ask a lot of questions for an evolving documentary film where I have the luxury to have a lot of time to think of. Recently, we made a video teaser-like, in which some of the […]
