Sound, Story and the Search for Balance w/Gary Rydstrom, Mark Mangini and Wylie Stateman
During the past 30-plus years, Gary Rydstrom, Mark Mangini and Wylie Stateman—as much as any three people in audio—have helped to create, shape and define the sense of what a modern film sounds like. Each entered the industry from a different background, each came of age working for independents, and each achieved remarkable success, both personally and professionally. In this special Keynote Conversation, Rydstrom, Mangini and Stateman sit down with Mix Editor Tom Kenny to discuss everything from the nature of sound and sound perception, to sound technology and the sound business. They’ll talk about the intermingling, and many times interchangeable, roles of sound editor, sound designer and re-recording mixer. They’ll talk about sound and music, sound moments and when it’s best to be silent. But most importantly, they’ll talk about the timeless role of “sound as storyteller.”
Recorded at the 2023 Mix Magazine Sound for Film & TV on September 30, 2023 at Sony Studios
